Three Cup Chicken is a traditional famous dish in Ningdu, Jiangxi. Its origin is related to the national hero Wen Tianxiang. At the end of the Southern Song Dynasty, the national hero Wen Tianxiang (from Jishui, Jiangxi) was captured while resisting the Yuan Dynasty, causing great grief among the people. One day, a woman in her seventies, leaning on a cane and carrying a bamboo basket containing a chicken and a pot of wine, arrived at the prison where Wen Tianxiang was being held to pay tribute to him. The old lady unexpectedly met Wen Tianxiang, mixed with sadness and joy. It turned out that it was rumored that Wen Tianxiang had been killed, and she had come to offer sacrifices to Prime Minister Wen. She regretted not bringing a cooked chicken when she saw that Prime Minister Wen was still alive, so she had to ask the prison guards for help. The jailer was originally from Jiangxi and admired Wen Tianxiang very much. The words and deeds of the old lady deeply moved him. Thinking that Wen Tianxiang would be killed tomorrow, I was also very sad in my heart, so I decided to use the old lady's chicken and wine to make a decent dish for Wen Tianxiang to show my admiration. So he and his wife slaughtered the chicken, tidied it up, cut it into pieces, found a clay pot, put the chicken pieces in the pot, poured rice wine, added some salt, filled it with seasoning and soup, used a few bricks to build the clay pot, and simmered the chicken over low heat. After an hour, they uncovered the chicken and found it crispy and fragrant. The two of them cried and brought the chicken to Wen Tianxiang. Prime Minister Wen drank alcohol and soup, ate chicken, harbored hatred for the loss of the country, and sang mournful songs. The next day, Wen Tianxiang saw death as his own and bravely died. It was the ninth day of the twelfth lunar month< br>
