阅读下面短文，用英语回答短文后的问题。
Over twenty years ago，Wang Xiaogang worked as a guide(导游) in Tai'an City，where the famous Mount Tai is located. Today，he is famous for making the tofu banquet(豆腐宴)，a traditional(传统的) set of dishes of the Tai'an people.
The change in Wang's life came from a question that visitors often asked him when he was a guide—What nice food does Tai'an have? He would answer with a local saying，"Tai'an has three delicacies—cabbage，tofu，and water." But when visitors asked him why tofu was special，he didn't know what to say. This made him want to learn about the culture behind it. So he read historical materials and visited restaurants to learn more about tofu.
Wang learnt that tofu sounds like "兜福" or "多福" in Chinese，which stands for a lot of happiness and luck. The tradition of the Tai'an tofu banquet dates back to the Han Dynasty. People would serve tofu dishes to emperors(皇帝) when they came to Mount Tai for important events.
After years of studying，Wang opened a museum in 2015 to share the culture of the tofu banquet. Visitors to the museum can learn about the history of the tofu banquet，and even try making tofu themselves. The museum is very popular with visitors from both China and other countries.
But Wang didn't stop there. He also helped villagers make tofu goods(商品) to make money. Wang hopes that they can get rich and at the same time celebrate their traditions.
