Recently, during a culinary exploration tour in Chenzhou, Zilongjun diced pork in pot caught people’s attention. It originated from the story of General Zhao Zilong’s strategic takeover of Guiyang County during the Three Kingdoms period.

The local people put pork skin and streaky pork into rod chilli sauce jars, marinated them with traditional techniques for several months, and then presented them to Zhao Zilong. He loved them for the unique spicy taste. Liu Bei, an emperor during the Three Kingdoms period, gave them the name “Zilongjun diced pork in pot”.
