Is this really a salad? I think otherwise. -- Jerry Crimson Mann 17:14, 1 August 2005 (UTC)

Heh...then what will be a better word for it? Actually it does sound rather strange being called a "salad" since it conjures up images of those western salads which are completely different...--Huaiwei 19:37, 1 August 2005 (UTC)

I agree...in fact I don't like the name "Chinese salad"...a really very stupid name...=.= -- Jerry Crimson Mann 19:39, 1 August 2005 (UTC)

I am a native english speaker and have also eaten this, and it seems quite natural to me to call it a salad. I guess the main reasons are that it consists of a number of ingredients tossed together with a dressing. Also note that there are some quite unusual salads anyway --- consider egg salad for example. --Mathish 04:51, 28 January 2006 (UTC)

Apparently, the term raw fish salad is quite commonly used. See [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6]. --Nathaniel 16:53, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

Invented 1500 yrs ago? I think this dish is invented in the 1960s in Singapore. Even the website that is linked to it suggests that it is a singapore invention. --Run Xuan 01:56, 15 February 2006 (UTC)

The association of eating yusheng as a Chinese New Year celebration is probably a Singaporean/Malaysian tradition. But the food itself comes from Guangdong and surrounding regions.
