As early as the Qing Emperor Qianlong, the Texas pheasant was listed as a tribute to the palace for the emperor and the royal family to enjoy. In the 1950s, Vice President Soong Ching Ling returned to Beijing from Shanghai. He repeatedly stopped to buy pheasants in Texas and gave a tribute to Chairman Mao Zedong.

When poetry became a singer, he blurted out: "A good spiced boneless chicken!" In the second year, Jia Jiancai mentioned the pheasant to the Lantern Festival to sell, and the market opened wide and became famous. With the opening of the Jinpu Railway and the Shide Railway, the operation of the Texas pheasant entered a prosperous period, presenting a scene of “hundred schools of contention”.
