Zhangfei Beef “originates from Baoning dried beef and is a traditional halal flavor food produced by the Hui people in Langzhong. Developed by the Wang brothers, a Muslim from Langzhong during the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, it became well-known throughout the Qianlong period of the Qing dynasty. During the Three Kingdoms period, Zhang Fei, a famous general of the Shu Kingdom, guarded Langzhong for seven years. He loved his people like sons and was known as the “Tiger Minister and Good Shepherd” by Langzhong. In the late 1990s, Langzhong County Beef Processing Factory was restructured and transformed into a privately-owned beef processing factory. In memory of Zhang Fei, a father and mother official, the factory was designated as “Langzhong Zhangfei Beef Processing Factory” and is now known as “Sichuan Zhangfei Beef Co., Ltd.
