“江南鲜笋趁鲥鱼,烂煮春风三月初。”这是“扬州八怪”之一郑板桥的咏笋名句。其实,古代不少文人墨客都有爱笋之好。传说,苏东坡在杭州做官期间,路过于潜县大片竹林,于是即兴赋诗:“可使食无肉,不可居无竹。无肉使人瘦,无竹使人俗。人瘦尚可肥,士俗不可救。”诗尚未成,于潜县令便以“笋焖肉”款待他。诗人吃得津津有味,食毕仍连连称赞,并情不自禁地提笔续诗:“若要不瘦且不俗,自当日日笋焖肉。” “Jiangnan fresh bamboo shoots while catfish, rotten cook spring early March. ” This is “Yangzhou eight strange ” one of Zheng Banqiao’s sung sung famous. In fact, many ancient literati have good love of bamboo shoots. Legend has it that during Su Dongpo’s official career in Hangzhou, passing through a large area of ​​bamboo in Qixian County, he improvised the poem: “Can make meat without food and can not live without bamboo. Fat, secular vulgar. ”The poem has not yet become, in the sub-county order to “ stewed meat ”treat him. Poets eat relish, food is still praised repeatedly, and can not help but to write a poem: “If you are not thin and not vulgar, since the day stewing meat.”
