'Shŭi Xí or the '''Water Banquet''', Shŭi Xí, which consists of 8 cold and 16 warm dishes cooked in various broths, gravies or juices, hence its name. It is considered one of the Three Wonders of Luoyang , along with the Peony and the Longmen Grottoes . HISTORY The Water Banquet is an offshoot of Henanese cuisine, and has existed since the Sui and Tang Dynasties . It came into existence because of the climatic conditions around the city of Luoyang - notably the dry climate, mountainous terrain, and lack of fruits - which makes a 'soupy' meal an attractive option. |
