1在中国,相传东晋时期一位大将军,因士兵血战沙场屡建战功,甚为感动,即令烘制民间喜爱的美味糕饼,送往前线犒劳将士,以表“点点心意”。是否“点心”的叫法从那时开始沿用,不可考。而点心在我们的生活中,曾经占有很重要的位置,却是毋庸置疑的,而像普鲁斯特的“小玛德兰点心”那样,也会唤醒沉埋已久的记忆。 1 In China, according to legend, a great general in the Eastern Jin Dynasty was very moved by the repeated exploits made by soldiers in bloody battlefields. Even the delicious cake pasted by folk people was sent to the frontline to help people to express their intentions. Whether “dim sum ” is used since then, can not test. And dim sum, once a very important place in our lives, is undisputed, and, like Proust’s Little Madeleine Dessert, it awakens the long-cherished memory.
