Why was eating crabs considered an elegant thing by the ancients?

I think the reasons don't care about the following points:

1, crabs are delicious. For ordinary people, food comes first. People like to enjoy delicious food. Crabs are delicious and easy to get people's favor. There were not so many spices in ancient times. Compared with other foods, the delicious taste of crabs was really rare in ancient times. People in ancient times, even today, are eager for crabs.

"Bad Crab" by Lu You: "An old friend has forgotten each other for a long time, and his son is in love with each other, and he will never regret being drunk in Shangqiu. It seems that they are heartless. " "The one-foot-round frost crab is beautiful and fragrant." "The crab fat is coveted for a while, and the wine is bright."

Chen's "Crab Fu": "The amount of fish is not counted, and the four seas are healthy. However, it is very embarrassing to see the rampage, but I don't know that my son has no intestines. "

Huang Tingjian said in his poem: "Although the shape is horizontal, the taste can comfort the face of a strong man." "The taste is extremely pleasant. This thing is really unparalleled." "It's not as good as two claws, so it's comparable to wine."

Zhang Lei's poem said: "I know from a distance that the crabs in September have been frosted;" The heavy gold in the basket, the paws are white and fragrant; Dust leaves the old country, and poetry and wine are sent to other places; If there are no western envoys, why go to Luoyang? "

These poems all express the poet's desire to eat crabs and the richness and delicacy of crabs.

Crabs are especially suitable for drinking.

Ancient literati especially liked drinking and writing poems, and crabs were especially suitable for drinking. Crabs are cold. From the health point of view, we should drink less yellow wine to drive away the cold. Ancient literati all loved to drink. If you don't drink, you can't serve. How pleasant it is to have a drink, make a sentence and write a poem. But you have to have a snack to drink, so it's always hard to drink. Crabs are so delicious that they go well with each other. Ancient literati wrote many poems about drinking and eating crabs.

Bi, a poet of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, said, "Holding a crab claw, a wine glass and patting the floating wine pool will be enough for a lifetime."

Li Bai: "Crab pincers, golden liquid, bad hills and Penglai, need to drink wine and go to the moon platform."

Eating crabs has become a fashion and style of literati.

Eating crabs has become a must for ancient literati in autumn, and ancient literati gathered on the grounds of eating crabs. And later this tool was invented, which improved the elegance of eating crabs. Ancient literati gathered together to write poems while eating crabs, and took pleasure in writing poems related to crabs, resulting in many poems in this field, including poems describing the embarrassing appearance of crabs, poems describing how crabs are delicious, and poems describing the gluttony of diners.

In the Ming Dynasty, Xu's "Qian Wang Sun Xiang Crab" said: "Kun Sheng exchanged words for frost crabs, and he was given a letter to exchange books for ice cream. It is also the belly of the old man Yingkou, and the discipline of half plum wins the cricket. "

The crab-eating song by Huang, a scholar in Qing Dynasty: "The horn of cancer is exposed, and its side is as big as." "The tooth force turns into pieces, and the entrance of muscle snow does not stop." "People holding a laugh, eat more than me, all with coach; I don't care about the wrist in front of the lamp, but I've been paying attention to it for a long time. ""If you are covered with fat, you won't give up. " "From you to the sea, the strike began. The less you know, the more you will raise money. When you are drunk, you will see the passengers in a mess, and the umbilical cord will stay on your body and pounce on Sanchi. " .

Sun Jinhao's Eating Crabs: "Gluttonous people are really greedy. Gold paste is thick and greasy, and jade grease is smoother than clam. " The ancient literati's love for crabs is most directly reflected in Ms. Tang Guoli, the wife of Mr. Zhang Taiyan. After eating Yangcheng Lake hairy crabs, Ms. Tang couldn't help singing: "Yangcheng Lake hairy crabs are not delicious. Why do you live in Suzhou in this life?"
