Apart from its unique and beautiful taste, nanputuo's vegetable dishes were famous not only because of their good taste and elegant names, but also because most of them were related to famous people. Therefore, in just a hundred years, it had become famous both at home and abroad.
For example, the Half Moon sinking river was originally called Angelica tendon noodle soup. However, when he met the poetic Guo Moruo, he saw a bowl of round dish with half of the mushrooms black and half of the tendons white. It looked like the shadow of half a moon at the bottom of the river. The color was distinct, and with the taste of Angelica, it looked like chicken soup. Elder Guo praised it repeatedly and immediately named it "Half Moon sinking river."
