Historically, it can be traced back to the "pseudonym: Jiang Ziya" in the Taigongwang period at the end of Shang Dynasty. The food culture in China has lasted for more than 365,438+000 years, and it can be divided into five stages: raw food, cooked food, medicated food, natural cooking and scientific cooking. More than 60,000 kinds of traditional dishes, more than 20,000 kinds of industrial foods, colorful banquets and colorful flavor schools have been launched, making it a "cooking kingdom".

From the connotation point of view, China food culture involves the development and utilization of food sources, the use and innovation of tableware, the production and consumption of food, the service and reception of catering, the operation and management of catering and food industry, and the relationship between catering and national security, catering and literature and art, catering and life realm, which can be described as profound!

From the extension point of view, China food culture can be classified from the perspectives of times and techniques, region and economy, nationality and religion, food and tableware, consumption and level, folk customs and functions, showing different cultural tastes and reflecting different use values.

Specifically, China's food culture highlights the nutrition and health theory (mainly vegetarian, paying attention to medicinal diet and nourishing) and the theory of harmonious realm of five flavors (unique flavor, delicious taste, and the reputation of "tongue food"), and the singularities are changing with each other? Cooking methods (flexible based on kitchen rules) and the concept of delicious food (gentle and elegant, educational and edible) are four attributes, which are different from the natural beauty of overseas food culture.

China's food culture directly affects Korea, South Korea, Thailand, Singapore, Japan, Mongolia and other countries, and it is the center of the oriental food culture circle. At the same time, it has indirectly influenced Europe, America, Africa and Oceania, such as vegetarian culture, tea culture, sauce and vinegar, pasta, medicated diet, ceramic tableware and soybeans in China, benefiting billions of people all over the world.

China's cooking is not only superb, but also has a tradition of paying attention to the aesthetic feeling of dishes, and paying attention to the harmony of color, fragrance, taste, shape and container of food. There are many ways to express the beauty of dishes. Both carrots and cabbage hearts can be carved into various shapes, which are unique, achieving the harmonious unity of color, fragrance, taste, shape and beauty, giving people a special enjoyment of high spiritual and material unity.

In a word, China's food culture is a long-standing regional culture with broad vision, deep level, multi-angle and high taste. It is the material wealth and spiritual wealth that people of all ethnic groups in China have created, accumulated and influenced neighboring countries and the world in the aspects of food source development, tableware development, food preparation, nutrition and health care, food aesthetics, etc. in the production and life practice of more than 6,543,800 years.
