　　 There is a local saying in Wulong: “Yangjiao has three treasures—dried tofu, aged vinegar, and pig kidney jujubes.” Among them, Goat Horn Dried Tofu is made using groundwater from Yangjiao Town and brine infused with 56 types of traditional Chinese medicinal herbs from the Wulong mountain area, undergoing multiple rounds of brining. With over 200 years of history, Yangjiao Dried Tofu was once the staple food of the porters along the Wu River. In those days, nearly every household in Yangjiao made dried tofu, which the women would then carry in baskets to sell by the Wu River. As written in the “Ode to Wulong”: “Yangjiao Dried Tofu, its fragrance drifts ten thousand miles.” Due to its great quality and affordability, the dried tofu was highly favored by passing merchants, making tofu trading a primary livelihood for locals.
