Introduction to the Drunken Crab: The Drunken Crab in the park is a place where tourists rush to sit. It is said that they can hide from villains to avoid disasters. The allusion of Tang Bohu's drunken crab is very famous, and the famous dish "drunken crab" at Suzhou banquets comes from this.
It is said that Tang Bohu was stopped by a bad boy on his way to visit a friend. The bad boy pulled out a large piece of dazzling white silk from his sleeve and forced Tang Bohu to make a painting for him on the spot. Tang Bohu took the silk, borrowed a straw sandal from an old farmer selling vegetables on the roadside, stirred it vigorously in the mud, and patted the silk three times. Suddenly, three ink-ball-like straw shoe prints appeared on a piece of clean white silk. The evil young man was very angry and went to the government for comment. The master of Futai protected the evil young man, took the white silk silk and sternly asked Tang Bohu: "What kind of painting is this? Even today's talented people dare to play tricks on the heads of the imperial officials. Do you know your guilt?" "This is obviously an exquisite painting. "If you don't believe me, you can invite famous artists from Suzhou to come and appreciate it!" Tang Bohu said with a tone of voice. The master of Futai gave an order, and Zhu Zhishan, Wen Zhengming, and Xu Zhenqing, several famous painters in Suzhou, came to identify it. The strange thing is that as soon as the silk was hung on the nave, the three ink-ball-like straw shoe prints on the silk instantly turned into three vivid giant crabs, and their slow crawling had the feeling of being out of a painting. Suddenly, there was a roar of joy inside and outside the lobby. The master of Futai couldn't help but marveled at the crime, and then beat the bad boy fifty times, and the painting was left behind by Futai. However, before Tang Bohu walked out of the yamen, the master of Futai came after him and said, "The crabs are all gone, and they have all turned into dry mud and fallen down." Tang Bohu said teasingly, "I was afraid that the crabs would crawl away, so I sprinkled wine on them." , I was just drunk. Now that I am sober, the crab will naturally crawl away." Many businessmen took this as an opportunity to trial-produce drunk crabs.
