Food culture in Taiwan Province

The company I work for is a golf course run by Taiwan Province people. There is a Hongding restaurant in it, which is Taiwan Province-style. Today, I will tell you about this Taiwan Province food culture:

The food culture is mainly Fujian Minnan food culture, but it also combines the characteristics of food culture in Chinese mainland to form a colorful food culture.

the food culture of Gaoshan people. In the early days of Gaoshan nationality in Taiwan Province, millet and sweet potato were the staple foods, and all of them were eaten by hand. Later, with the increase of immigrants from the mainland, they gradually absorbed the diet of the Han nationality and switched to chopsticks, and rice gradually became the staple food. However, many Gaoshan tribes still retain many traditional characteristics. For example, the Yami people in Lanyu have different restrictions on eating fish between men and women. Gaoshan people like drinking, and the wine brewed with millet also shows a unique drinking culture.

Fujian Hakka food culture. This is the most important food culture in Taiwan Province, which developed from the food cultures of Fujian and Guangdong in mainland China, and has become today's "Taiwanese cuisine", with its main feature of emphasizing seafood. In the culture of drinking in Fujian, Dining Hotel has many Buddhist shrines in order to bless and make a fortune. In addition, like Fujian and Guangdong, Taiwan Province has a strong tea-drinking culture, likes to make pots of tea, pays attention to the exquisiteness of tea sets and brewing methods, and is especially popular with "Kung Fu Tea". Historically, Taiwan Province has also produced several famous purple sand pots with strong heat resistance and elegant appearance, such as spring, autumn nursery and pan pot. Nowadays, Taiwan's tea culture has also made new progress.

religious diet culture. Religious beliefs are popular in Taiwan, and the food content of offerings is attached great importance to at festivals or ancestors' sacrifices. If the raw is used to worship the sky, the cooked sacrifice is to worship the ancestors first. Nowadays, vegetarianism is also very popular in Taiwan Province.

food tonic culture. Taiwan Province, like the southern mainland, is very particular about food supplements. Now it can be said to be a healthy eating culture. In Taiwan Province, the concepts of health preservation and old age prevention, "Yin and Yang complement each other" and "harmony of five elements" are profound. At present, Taiwan Province's food regimen mainly includes vegetarian diet, raw food, organic diet, fasting therapy and traditional Chinese medicine diet therapy. "Sishen Soup" (Dioscorea opposita, Euryale ferox, Lotus Seed and Poria cocos) is often used as a nourishing drink in Taiwan Province, and it is a famous nourishing snack. The most unique folk food tonic custom is the so-called "half-year tonic", that is, on the first day of the sixth lunar month every year, every household rubs balls with rice flour to make sweet pills, which can cure all diseases in summer. In addition, Taiwan Province also has "winter tonic" or "winter nourishing", that is, winter tonic.

food culture with special flavor. Taiwan Province's special flavor food culture can be said to be all-encompassing, combining local snacks from Taiwan Province and mainland China. Well-known people include tempura in the mouth of Keelung Temple, meatballs in Changhua, chicken rice in Chiayi, tribute balls in Hsinchu, burden noodles in Tainan, and cakes in Shilin.
