"A braised pork elbow is delicious, but no one can boast of it." Two folk songs show the strangeness of braised pork elbow in Ganquan. In the early 1970s, the chef in the canteen of Xiasiwan People's Commune replaced the elbow that always needs to be braised in red and white wedding banquets in Ganquan with an elbow, which was praised by diners. This method was quickly imitated by hotels and restaurants in cities and rural areas, thus forming a flavor lai with Ganquan characteristics.
