　　Wuzhai Tofu

　　　　Processing bean products has long been a specialty of the people in Wuzhai, and among the many bean products, tofu stands out the most. Its production is meticulous, with a history of several hundred years. In addition, the clear Qinglian River flows down from the mountains, carrying wild plants from Luya Mountain such as astragalus, codonopsis, and ganoderma, which are washed into the river by the current, resulting in exceptionally sweet and pure water. This water, when used to make tofu, produces a product that is white, tender, and rich in nutrients. According to historical records, during the Qing Yongzheng era, every county magistrate stationed in Wuzhai would dispatch runners to transport tofu day and night to the capital as a seasonal tribute.
