Features: "What to eat" and "How to eat" have always been intertwined with the history of human survival and development. In fact, the evolution from "eating raw meat and drinking blood" to the refined practice of "refining grain until it is not grain and slicing meat until it is not meat" represents one of the longest periods of "" in human history with nature. At the same time, it is also a mark of humanity's transition from barbarism to civilization. The history of Chinese culinary arts is long and profound. However, for a long time, the endless enjoyment brought by this exquisite skill was not accessible to most common people. Only in the past two decades, with the prosperity of the nation, have most Chinese people followed a dietary path from being able to eat to eating well, from eating well to eating delicately, and even to "eating" culture. This not only reflects that only with rapid economic development and improved living standards can the pursuit of material and spiritual civilization become stronger, but also reveals that people's demands for culinary skills have been continuously rising. China is vast, and its diverse climatic conditions have given rise to regional-specific ingredients in local dishes. The different customs, tastes, and cooking techniques in various regions have further created a variety of local dishes with distinct flavors. Especially today, when "food culture" has become a "trend" pursued by the general public, renowned chefs across the country have been making their local specialties flourish, producing one exquisite dish after another. These dishes have become like pearls embedded in the long chain of Chinese culinary culture. We have recorded these works with images and text, compiled them into a series titled "The Series of Chinese Local Specialty Dishes," and published them for everyone. The purpose is to record a civilization and spread it far and wide, ensuring its lasting legacy. At the same time, it aims to provide readers with models for study and reference, allowing the exquisite skills and culinary culture of China to be widely promoted and celebrated.
