Taro has always been a delicacy on the plate. [Tai Chi taro mud] is one of the traditional sweets of Fujian cuisine. It is often found on the banquets in Fuzhou during the festive season. It is famous, and there is an anecdote: in the 19th year of Daoguang in the Qing Dynasty (1839 AD), when Lin Zexu went to Guangzhou to ban smoking as an imperial minister, the consuls of Britain, Germany, the United States, Russia and other countries prepared Western food mats to taunt Chinese officials "Entertain" Lin Zexu, trying to make Lin Zexu fool when he eats ice cream. Afterwards, Lin Zexu also set up a rich feast to "repay" these consuls. After a few cold dishes, I served a plate of dark gray and shiny, dark brown and smooth, like two fish lying in it, not steaming, like cold dishes. A foreign consul took a spoon and scooped it into his mouth. It was so hot that his eyes became straight and it was too late to vomit; he heard a "squeak" again, and saw the lips of the other consul also burned out. With the red "lace", the other guests were shocked. At this time, Lin Zexu stood up carelessly and introduced: "This is a famous dish in Fujian, China, called Tai Chi taro mud." Since then, the dish has become famous.

This dish is shaped like Tai Chi. The white taro and brown bean paste are curved and coiled to create a fun contrast. The red and green cherries make the pattern full of dynamic and festive colors like the finishing touch, which is lovely. [Tai Chi taro mud] is a festive beet with auspicious patterns, which is very suitable for festive family banquets or wedding birthday banquets. There is also the practice of sprinkling dried fruits such as red dates, melon seeds and winter melon sticks to increase the festive effect.
