Features: The designer and creator of the fancy cold dishes in this book, Master Xing Zong'en, learned from the master of the Sichuan school, Yao Chuho, and deeply inherited his teacher's true essence. He also drew nourishment from the paintings of masters such as Qi Baishi, Xu Beihong, Zhang Shanmei, and Jiang Hanting. Additionally, he often visited zoos and botanical gardens to sketch and paint, accumulating a wealth of materials. Once he had mastered them and had the ideas fully formed in his mind, he would wield his knife to carve and cleverly arrange the ingredients, achieving fruitful results.
