Features: The reason why Chinese cuisine has become popular worldwide is mainly because it has a long history, with thousands of years of cultural heritage, being a part of China's ancient civilization. Today, we need to inherit and develop our culinary arts, and one of the most important aspects is to maintain its national characteristics, preserving the overall beauty of its various elements working together. It should not be treated as a mere technical operation issue. There are numerous research topics in the study of Chinese food culture. This small booklet merely attempts to make some preliminary explorations. Subjectively, I wanted to make it easy to understand, interesting, and informative to cater to readers at different levels. Unfortunately, I am neither a chef nor a gourmand. The ramblings here are essentially superficial discussions, and there may even be mistakes. I hope this can act as a pebble to stir the waters, inspiring more and better masterpieces to be published!
