[quote=EVENING,237398]It is created by the first emperor of Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang. The very year when he got the throne, it happened to drought disaster. While the common people suffered from hunger, some officials yet enjouyed their luxurious life. This really offened Zhu, who was once a poor farmer's son. At the birthday ceremony of Zhu's empress, he orderd to just give 4 dishes and 1 soup to those luxurious officials. The first one was Fried Radishes. Radishes are said to be the medicine to cure many diseases, blessing the health of the whole nation. The second one was Fried leeks. Leeks grows up quickly, which symbolizes the thriving of Zhu's kingdom. The third was two bowls of green vegetables, which means incorruptness. The final was a symple soup of Toufu. Zhu claimed all the officals should just entertain their guests with at most 4 dishes and 1 soup to resist excessive luxury. [/quote]
