Features: Some say Chinese culture is a food culture, while Western culture is a culture of romance between men and women. This shows that the Chinese are fond of eating, as there is an ancient proverb that says, "Food is the first necessity of the people." China is a nation that produces food connoisseurs, and its culinary culture is long-standing, profound, and awe-inspiring to the world. Confucius can be considered a gourmet, who first proposed the slogan "Refine your food and slice it finely." The Gourmet's Carnival vividly describes various dishes and snacks from history and reality, offering both knowledge and entertainment. Life is our eternal pursuit, and the desire for food is the necessary path to the ultimate goal. Feasts and simple food coexist, nourishing our lives day by day and year after year. Hong Zhu's pen spreads quietly, and in this seemingly everyone-can-express field, he is even more persuasive, deeper, and more precise. Through the taste of our tongues, we repeatedly ascend to the carnival paradise built by the five flavors! This book is divided into four parts: The Unbroken Feast, Food on the Map, Craving is an Addiction, and Boiling Plum Wine, with main content including The Unbroken Feast, The Pool of Wine and Forest of Meat, Cultural Condiments, The Fearless Chinese Eaters, Hams and Scholars, Fish Totems, and Eating in Beijing, among others.
