Confucius is known for his emphasis on refinement
The "Kongfu Cuisine" that has been passed down to this day
It is an important representative of Shandong cuisine
Wide range of materials and exquisite workmanship
In terms of heat, seasoning, shaping, etc
There are many theories behind it
Especially distinctive is the dish name
Or quaint and elegant
Or vividly portrayed
For example, "Clear Soup with Lotus, Butterflies, and Sea Cucumber". The soup color is transparent
Sea cucumbers dance like butterflies
