Story & history
A shared pot for gatherings in Jixi
This account describes a tradition or story, rather than an established historical fact.
In Shangzhuang, Jixi, yipin guo is served at seasonal festivals and family rites such as weddings and funerals. The local scholar Hu Shi was fond of the layered pot and often served it to guests, including foreign visitors while he was China’s ambassador in the United States. It is also called “Hu Shi yipin guo.” The custom belongs to this part of Jixi; it is not a rule for every Huizhou table.
