When I was young, the "seven-floor" dish was a big dish at a country banquet. It was actually a large bowl of chowder. The content included egg rolls, meat slices and meatballs, tiger skin eggs, bamboo shoots, etc. The more variety in the bowl , The higher the pile, the more polite. According to legend, it is one of the "eight bowls", and it is also said that it comes from Buddhist vegetarianism. Among the Hunan cuisine schools in the Xiangjiang River valley, the Nanyue vegetarian food, which belongs to the traditional Buddhist vegetarian food series, is also famous for its unique characteristics. Nanyue Hengshan is one of the holy places of Chinese Buddhism. The temples in the past have paid special attention to the production of vegetarian food. Its raw materials are wild or planted plants, melons and vegetables, and processed legume products. Some are also imitated into chicken, fish, meat, etc. The shape of the egg is made into a banquet with the same name as the meat dish, and its shape can almost be fake, adding splendor to Hunan cuisine. The famous products of Nanyue's vegetarian series include: "Yipinxiang (single plate of vegetarian dishes)", "Erdumei ("Mei", "mold", mouldy bean and fermented bean curd))", "Sanxian soup (take three seasonal fresh vegetables for soup) )", "Sijiqing (four different seasonal vegetables)", "Wu Deng (Stewed) Hui (five kinds of stew, there is a book "Wu Deng Hui Yuan" in Buddhist classics, this dish is named after this book)", "Liu Zi Lian (usually refers to roasted eggplant, fried bamboo shoots, stewed fungus seeds, spicy seeds, lotus root balls)", "seven floors (fake meat, meatballs, steamed buns, sub-gluten, vegetable heart, magnolia slices, shiitake mushrooms, etc.) It’s like “family portrait” or “lion head” in meat dishes), “eight bowls (eight kinds of vegetarian dishes imitate meat for a table)”, “jiu ruyi (according to different seasons, the number of guests and the number of side dishes), so that the diners are satisfied. )", "Ten Sceneries".
