摘要

Nanjing is the capital city of Jiangsu Province.Known as“Jinling”in ancient times,it was a longstanding political,economic,and cultural center of southern China in history and is one of the four great ancient capitals of China,alongside Beijing,Xi’an,and Luoyang.Nanjing Salted Duck,a representative dish of Jinling cuisine,has over 2,000 years of history.From ingredients to cooking techniques,the dish accentuates the original flavors of the ingredients and retains their freshness,which give it a light but delicious flavor.The duck is most commonly eaten around the Mid-Autumn Festival in September.The dish also goes by the name Osmanthus Duck,due to the availability of sweet osmanthus flowers,an ingredient of the broth.
