Features: This is a new book about the cultural revolution of food, from multiple levels and perspectives. It is a unique and innovative book that uses "food" as a mirror, offering a delicious read and a lingering aftertaste. To achieve spiritual freedom, one must first break free from the confinement of taste. China urgently needs a reflection on food culture and a cultural revolution in this area. Chinese food culture has a long history, with many renowned gourmands and connoisseurs throughout the ages, and it has also produced grand feasts like the "Manhan Quanxi." To say it bluntly: If you want to eat well, come to China—you won’t be disappointed. "It’s guaranteed that you’ll eat from your bowl while watching in the pot." Why is Chinese cuisine so favored by international guests, making them travel great distances for it? Using "food" as a mirror, this book interprets the history of Chinese food culture, reflecting on national character, individuality, and everything in reality. It aims to cultivate healthy eating habits and establish a healthy and civilized Chinese food culture. This may be the original intention behind editing this book.
