Nanfeng Bean Curd Sticks are a specialty of Jiujiang, Jiangxi, with a long history. A popular story from Duchang tells of a competition between Guanyin, the Goddess of Mercy, and Du Kang to see who could make better use of the five grains to create delicious food for the people. Du Kang brewed fine wine from grains, while Guanyin made tofu from soybeans. The two were evenly matched and decided to let the people be the judges. They descended to earth and gathered many people to taste their creations. Many said the wine tasted better than the tofu, but the people of Nanfeng in Duchang said, “Tofu can be made into a hundred dishes, offering a hundred different flavors; plus, the soybean residue can be eaten, while wine dregs cannot—making wine is too wasteful of grain.” Convinced by their words, Du Kang conceded defeat and left. Pleased, Guanyin taught the people of Nanfeng how to process tofu into a food that resembled ginseng in shape and had a delicious taste. It became the best of all tofu dishes and was named "bean curd sticks." Since then, Nanfeng Bean Curd Sticks have gained widespread fame and become a traditional local product.
