物称珍，何物为最？”他答曰：“臣闻物无定味，适口者珍”。又说：“臣止知齑汁为美”。太宗问何由，苏易简讲述他的亲身感受：在一个寒冷的夜晚,我豪饮后回家倒床睡去。半夜惊醒,感觉全身燥热口渴难耐。于是翻身起床来到庭院,发现月光下雪地中的泡菜坛,也顾不得叫起家僮。连忙捧起雪当水洗手,舀起齑汁美美的喝起来,当时只感觉这是上界仙境中的厨师为自己所调配的美食。当真适口者珍也。

湖广填四川：明末农民起义战争和清军入关，使川人遭受浩劫。清朝初年四川仅剩下62 万人，相当于原来人口的十分之二。清康熙十年（1671 年），朝廷准许“各省贫民携带妻子入蜀中屯垦者，准其入籍。”并且强制性组织流民大规模迁徙。这次大规模移民运动，一直持续到康熙六十一年（1722 年）才结束，前后达半个世纪。这也是一场文化的迁徙与融合，其中自然包括了我们的川菜文化。玉米、红薯、马铃薯从美洲传入，使四川的饮食结构更趋丰富。

文君当炉，相如涤器。 此幅场景对于二人来说可谓人生的转折，卓文君不愧是一代奇女子，与司马相如回成都后，面对家徒四壁的境地（这对爱情是一个极大的考验），大大方方地在临邛老家开起酒肆，自己当垆卖酒，终于使得要面子的卓父承认了他们的爱情。而相如更在逆境中放下了才子架子，与爱人一道经营酒店，做起了洗涤器皿等杂事。成都的抚琴街就因此而得名。现在的文君酒也正是纪念了这段美好真挚的爱情。

星夜私奔:

这幅画描述了文君与相如当夜驱车私奔。简便的行李说明两人奔走得匆忙。虽然是奔逃赶路，但他们相依相慰的举动依然显示出浓浓的爱意。不仅“凤求凰”表现了强烈的反封建思想。相如文君大胆私奔这一行动也冲破了封建礼教的罗网和家长制的樊篱。什么“夫有再娶之义，妇无二适之文。”、“门当户对”等等神圣礼法，统统被相如文君的勇敢私奔行动崐踩在脚下，成为后代男女青年争取婚姻自主、恋爱自由的一面指导旗帜。
