What are the cultural significance of kung pao chicken?

The origin of the name of this dish is actually related to its inventor. His name is Ding Baozhen. Ding Baozhen, a native of Guizhou, loves spicy food, peanuts and chicken, so he put the three favorite elements in life, pepper, peanuts and chicken, into a dish and created a dish called Maotai-flavor fried chicken.

Ding Baozhen worked in Sichuan that year, and he was very diligent and made great contributions. After his death, the court at that time named him Ding Baogong in recognition of his achievements. Therefore, later generations called Ding Jia's sauce-fried diced chicken and Bao Shi's diced chicken kung pao chicken for short. This is the origin of kung pao chicken's name, in fact, to commemorate Ding Baozhen.
