About/Origins

The earliest mention of the phrase “Buddha Jumps over the Wall” appears in a book from the Song dynasty (960-1279). Stories abound as to the origin of the dish’s colorful name. According to one version, the fragrant smell of the dish was so powerful that it induced a Buddhist monk to climb over the monastery wall to get a taste of it. Another version says that a monk prepared the dish one day, adding many nonvegetarian ingredients to his stew, and that when he was caught eating it he had to leap over his monastery walls to escape. But it is impossible to prove or disprove either of these versions. 

A third tale says that during the Qing dynasty (1644-1911), the dish was first prepared by an official from Fuzhou, who was trying to make a good impression on his superior, Zhou Lian. He combined many ingredients, including pork, duck and chicken, and simmered them slowly in an urn that was used to hold Shaoxing wine. After tasting the dish Zhou praised it profusely, and asked what the dish was called. The man replied that it was intended to bring “good luck and prosperity, happiness and longevity,” and so it was called Happiness and Longevity. Zhou’s chef then wrote down the recipe and improved the dish, and when Zhou served it to his guests someone wrote a few lines, saying that “The fragrant smell pervades the neighborhood, so that monks forget their Zen meditations and come jumping over the wall.” Ever since then the dish has been known as Buddha Jumps over the Wall.
