The long-established Linyi Sauce is a traditional dish with more than 100 years of history. In the early years of the Guangxu reign of the Qing Dynasty, the father and son of Nanjing Pan Xiaowu came to Linyi to collect a kind of pickled vegetables marinated in the “Yuanchangzhai” pickle garden. It is known for its unique flavors such as fragrant, crisp, tender and full-bodied. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, poets wrote poems: "The wind of the melons gives the aroma, the bees and butterflies fly in the clouds, and after eating the melons, forget the hometown."
