    The popular folk proverb, "Fight to death to eat puffer fish", dates back to the Song Dynasty. The book "Compiled by Su Yi at that time" contains a vivid anecdote about Su Shi eating puffer fish. It is said that when Sushi was exiled to other countries, there was a scholar bureaucrat family who cooked puffer fish uniquely and wanted to invite the famous "Master Su" to have a meal. With the consent of this well-known scholar, the family of the scholar doctor was very excited. When Su Shi ate puffer fish, he hid behind the screen to hear how the "Master Su" tasted. Even though it was crowded, it was still silent.

    But when Su Shi buried himself in the food and did not hear the praise, when the family looked at each other with disappointment, Su Shi, who had belched and stopped eating chopsticks, suddenly began to eat again and said, "It's worth dying!" Everyone behind the screen was very happy.

    Later, monk Hui Chong drew a picture of "Spring Duck Playing in the Water" and asked Su Dongpo to write a poem,

    Su Dongpo said it was OK to write poems, but there was one condition,

    Huichong asked, what conditions? " Buy me a meal of puffer fish“

    Now it's hard for Hui Monk. Monks don't eat meat. What should we do?

    In order to get Su Dongpo's poem, Huiseng also fought hard and insisted on Zhan Zhan's shining scalp,

    He took Su Dongpo to eat a meal of puffer fish, leaving behind an everlasting story and a seven character quatrain

Fan Bin (Wen Qing), a poet in Tianjin, in his Tianjin Xiaoling, described "eating the puffer fish in the bitter end, and helping the bottle in the Spring Festival Gala".
