Yue Fei

This is a scene at Yue Fei Temple--岳王庙。I have learnt a lot of things. For example, Yue Fei was able to raise a 150kg bow at the age of thirteen, he was a great general who was loyal to his country. However, he was framed by some traitors and died at a very young age.”

油条的典故

在岳飞坟墓前跪着两个人的铜像。他们就是陷害岳飞的奸臣-秦桧和他的妻子。据说当人们知道秦桧夫妇害死了岳飞,都非常悲愤。一个卖食品的街头小贩还将他售卖的面食做成秦桧夫妇的模样,炸成酥脆的长形面食。他把这种面食取名叫“油炸秦桧,吃了泄愤。一传十,十传百,人们都纷纷吃起”“油炸桧”来。久而久之,“油炸桧”就演变成我们今天常吃的“油条”了。
