The article describes the dishes served in the imperial palace. It is said that the imperial chefs, to avoid bad luck, only prepared dishes that were unlikely to go wrong. It also says that some rare ingredients, due to their limited quantity, were not supplied to the palace, supposedly because they feared that the nobles would become accustomed to these dishes and would complain if the supply was insufficient.
When Tong Cheng'er saw this article, no one knew whether it was true or false, since there was no specific historical record.
