Silver Thread Fish, a time-honored delicacy, was vividly praised by Tang Dynasty poets such as Du Fu. In the second poem of his suite Accompanying Mr. Zheng of the Broad Learning Academy on an Outing to General He's Mountain Villa, he wrote, "Silver-sliced fish, fresh from the brook; Chinese celery greens in the emerald soup." These lines describe the beauty of this dish, paired with a fragrant Chinese celery soup, both gracing the feast with refined elegance.
