Using local grass carp, also called mandarin fish, in the process of slicing raw fish, drying is the premise to keep the fish fresh and tender. There are three forms of raw fish, one is a fish fillet with a thickness of less than 0.5 mm and as thin as a cicada's wing; One is thick cut fish pieces, with dense knife marks and continuous cutting, not 6 square centimeters thick; There are also slender strips of raw fish, the meat is elastic and tender, and the taste is full.

At the end of the Western Jin Dynasty, Hans Zhang worked in Sima Tong's palace in Luoyang. In the autumn of the first year of Tai 'an, Emperor Jinhui, it was the time when Sima Yi monopolized the power and monopolized the state affairs. When Hans Zhang saw the yellow leaves flying all over the sky, it suddenly occurred to him that it was the harvest season for bass in his hometown. How delicious the rice with raw bass slices and leek soup is, he couldn't help singing a song: Autumn wind rises and falls in Ye Fei, and Wujiang water bass is fat. Three thousand miles away, I didn't go home. I hated it. After singing, I resigned and went back to my hometown to eat bass and avenge myself.
Soon, Sima Tang was killed in a royal infighting, and many of his subordinates were involved. Hans Zhang escaped by luck.
Autumn wind bass has since become an allusion. When people miss their hometown, or look forward to a free life in rivers and lakes, or feel that their career is sinister and intend to retire, this allusion is used regardless of whether their hometown produces bass or not.
