	'''Harbin Red Sausage''' (Simplified Chinese: 哈尔滨红肠; Traditional Chinese: 哈爾濱紅腸; Pinyin: ''Hā'ěrbīn hóngcháng'') is a smoked, reddish pork sausage ~~associated with~~ Harbin~~, reflecting the city's Russian-influenced meat-curing history~~ and ~~sold as a~~ Northeast snack ~~and gift food~~ on [[Heilongjiang Food]].		'''Harbin Red Sausage''' (Simplified Chinese: 哈尔滨红肠; Traditional Chinese: 哈爾濱紅腸; Pinyin: ''Hā'ěrbīn hóngcháng''), often shortened to '''hongchang''', is a smoked, reddish pork sausage emblematic of Harbin and wider Northeast snack culture on [[Heilongjiang Food]]. City chronicles and food encyclopedias link its early industrial form to Harbin’s Chinese Eastern Railway era and European sausage craft—especially Lithuanian-style curing remembered under the loan-name '''里道斯''' (''lidaosi'', from Russian ''kolbasa litovskaya'', “Lithuanian sausage”).<ref name="enz">[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_sausage English Wikipedia: Chinese sausage (Harbin-style)]</ref><ref name="zhw">[https://zh.wikipedia.org/zh-hans/%E7%BA%A2%E8%82%A0 Chinese Wikipedia: 红肠]</ref>

Encyclopedic overview only: pork; garlic; curing salts; spice blends; wood or fruitwood smoke. Exact formulas are brand and factory crafts.

Harbin’s growth around the Chinese Eastern Railway brought Russian and other European commercial kitchens into the city. A widely repeated chronicle places early Qiulin (Churin) sausage production in the first decade of the twentieth century, with Lithuanian staff credited in March 1909 narratives for a “lidaosi” line that locals later called red sausage because of its color; later plants expanded industrial output.<ref name="enz" /><ref name="zhw" /> Treat precise shop founding anecdotes as attributed civic history consistent across encyclopedia pages, while noting that multiple factories eventually shared the category.

			Twentieth-century brand interruptions and revivals (including Qiulin-related heritage storytelling) kept the sausage in local memory; Heilongjiang cultural inventories have listed related craft knowledge in provincial intangible-heritage framing—soft heritage context, not a claim that every supermarket stick is ICH-certified.<ref name="dbw">[https://heilongjiang.dbw.cn/system/2007/02/04/050694456.shtml Northeast Net / Heilongjiang: Qiulin lidaosi heritage feature]</ref>

			On [[Heilongjiang Food]] the sausage pairs culturally with dishes such as [[Suan Cai Bai Rou]] as portable Dongbei identity food for visitors and locals alike.
