Meat Yan, also known as Taipingyan, is a unique traditional snack in Fuzhou, Fujian. Because of its rich cultural connotation, Fuzhou people have a hundred years of love for the meat swallows. In Fuzhou dialect, the duck egg and the "compressed" homonym, the meat swallow and the duck egg boiled with the meaning of "taiping" and "Taipingyan". Therefore, in Fuzhou folk custom, on holidays, weddings and funerals, you must eat "Tai Pingyan", that is, take its "peace", "auspicious" meaning, so "no Yan is not a feast, no Yan is not a mature."

In Fuzhou, if you want to eat authentic meat swallows, then it is not the same as the meat Yanyan. Founded in the second year of the Guangxu reign of Qing Dynasty, Tongli Meat Yan Laopu has experienced three dynasties and passed down the Five Dynasties. "No Yan is not a mature, no Yan is not a feast" is a symbol of wealth, peace, reunion and prosperity. Tongli meat swallow strictly follows the ancestral side. The meat is made from the hind legs of the pig. More importantly, the meat is repeatedly beaten with a wooden hammer on the needle board. The wooden hammer and the needle hit a rhythm. The crash is very nice. In Fuzhou's secluded streets and alleys, you can find a series of rhythmic sounds of “嗒,嗒,” and follow the sound to find Yanpi shop. However, to buy authentic and good Yanpi, you also get the same shop of Tongli Meat Yan, No. 3, Macau Road, South Back Street, Fuzhou, which is called “Hundred Years of Tongli, Chinese Yanpi”. The charm of Tongli Meat Yan is its unique flavor and rich cultural connotation. The round head is scattered and shaped like a flying swallow. The eye is like a jade jade, and the entrance is smooth and crisp. Its taste and shape are different from those of the dragonfly. Therefore, in Fuzhou, there is a saying that "the same fat meat swallows, eats a lot of food." Meat Yan is still homesick, Fuzhou people can eat as much as they can, as if they can eat meat Yan as if they have returned to their hometown.
