According to legend, ham originated in the Northern Song Dynasty. Zong Ze, a famous soldier in the Northern Song Dynasty, won the victory and returned. The villagers rushed to send the pig leg back to Kaifeng to comfort the soldiers. Because of the long distance, they salted them for carrying. Pickled pork legs are red as fire, so they are called ham. Zong Ze's story is true. The original name of ham is Zong Ze's hometown leg.
