Guangdong Diet Culture

　　 Guangzhou Since ancient times, it is a major town in southern China. After Emperor Qin Shihuang unified south of the Five Ridges, the culture and customs of Han and Vietnam quickly fused, and Guangzhou became the center of South of the Five Ridges culture. In ancient Guangzhou, the river branch is crisscross, with abundant rainfall and pleasant climate. Its western, Eastern and northern hills are surrounded by hills, Lin Fengcao Mao, south of the Five Ridges is rich in fruits, and there are many birds and beasts. In the south, the sea is vast, and there are many salty aquatic animals and amphibians. This makes ancient Guangzhou one of the most abundant areas of Chinese food resources. Cantonese cuisine has a long history, and a large number of Central Plains emigrated to south of the Five Ridges, which makes Guangzhou's catering culture well received. Central Plains As early as the Han and Wei dynasties, Guangzhou's snake dishes, roast goose and fish soup had already been affected. At the end of the Song Dynasty, the Southern Song Dynasty fled with chefs, and a lot of court food spread to Guangzhou folk. After the Opium War, missionaries and merchants in Europe and America poured into a large number, and Guangzhou merchants gathered extensively, providing a wide market for the development of the catering industry. Cantonese cuisine, which has the advantage of the Central Plains cuisine and Western food, absorbs the advantages of local cuisine in Guangdong. Just like Guangzhou's culture, it combines ancient and modern culture, connecting China and the west, forming a distinctive Guangzhou food culture different from other parts of the country, and has won the reputation of "eating in Guangzhou".

　　 The most obvious feeling of Guangzhou is that Restaurant Very much, as long as you want to eat, you can always eat frugal, all kinds of delicious food whenever and wherever you want. Tea market is one of the most attractive features of Guangzhou's diet. In the past, Guangzhou only had "early tea", and now it has developed into three tea markets in the morning, noon and night. Almost all restaurants offer a tea market. When the guests are seated, the waitress immediately comes to greet them: "how many drinks do you have? What kind of tea do you have?" Guangzhou tea city has become an important social occasion for friends to meet and exchange ideas. It has become an important way of family reunion and sharing of family ethics. It is an effective buffer for modern stressful and fast-paced life and work. It is an important way for some people, especially the elderly, to relax. A morning newspaper, a cup of two, sits for hours, eating, watching, chatting, family affairs, national affairs, and everything in the world. Cantonese cuisine is very exotic. The snake is a dragon, a chicken is a Phoenix, a cat is a tiger, a mouse is a deer, and the sky is flying, the ground is crawling, and the water is swimming. Cantonese cuisine is fresh, tender, slippery, summer and autumn is light, and winter and spring are strong. Using unique flavoring condiments, cooking techniques such as cooking, roasting, soaking, stir frying, cooking and fire are used to cook local cuisine. Cantonese cuisine's "fresh seafood" is unique. Many restaurants do not decorate the hall. First, we should design seafood pools at the gate and display dozens of fresh seafood to attract customers. Cooking and drinking herbal tea in Cantonese cuisine is a pioneering work for Guangzhou people to adapt to the climate, environment and local conditions. "What is hot today?" is a necessary topic for housewives to chat. Cantonese food restaurants have a variety of dishes. Every once in a while, the restaurants will create new dishes with new raw materials and different collocations, so as to enhance their competitiveness. In the market, they often start a new trend of food and drink. This is the strong vitality of "eating in Guangzhou".

Analyzing the natural and cultural environment of "eating in Guangzhou" has rich cultural connotations. First, it is open. Guangzhou is located on the coast and enjoys convenient transportation. It has been a heavy port for economic and cultural exchanges since ancient times. The open environment has given the people of Guangzhou an open way of thinking. It reflects the open mindset of "no food to eat" on the diet. The streets in Guangzhou are all over the north and south. The two is compatibility. Open culture must also be compatible. South of the Five Ridges culture has the characteristics of being eclectic and accommodating all rivers, and has also been fully reflected in Guangzhou's diet. The three is pioneering. People in Guangzhou dare to eat anything, and are good at discovering traditional local flavors and foods, and constantly transplant and transform them. The Cantonese cuisine chef has such a motto: "tradition, no orthodox." It embodies the courage and pioneering spirit of Guangzhou people who dare to take the lead in the world. In addition, the Guangzhou people are fed up, not wasting, and they can't finish the "package" return, which reflects the Cantonese's virtue of food and thrift. Guangzhou diet has increased the level of eating and cooking to the realm of art. It has become an important part of South of the Five Ridges culture, and has greatly enriched the connotation and characteristics of South of the Five Ridges culture. It has a profound impact on the catering culture in China and the Asia Pacific region.

With the development of economy, the progress of society and the continuous expansion of opening up, Guangzhou's catering culture is constantly developing and changing. On the one hand, Guangzhou's food culture has been impacted by foreign culture, such as McDonald's, Kentucky Fried Chicken and other Western fast food culture, which has occupied the market of young people and children. Many people's customs and cultural concepts have also undergone new changes. On the other hand, the continuous improvement of people's living standards has laid the economic foundation for the development of Guangzhou's catering culture. "Eating in Guangzhou" is also facing good opportunities for development, presenting the following trends: first, combining food and tourism. The establishment of the restaurant is matched with the development of tourist attractions, attaches importance to the protection and construction of the old brand, and promotes each other with the overall planning of tourism products. The tourism department holds the "Guangzhou International Food Festival" every year, attracting eight parties to visitors, widely promoting Guangzhou's catering culture, and combining food and tourism effectively. Second, it is convenient to eat. In view of the modern work and life of fast Festival Qin, all kinds of food, semi manufactured goods and fast food have developed rapidly and have been widely welcomed. Third, food nutrition is scientific. Guangzhou people have been eating from the "full" to "eat well", and have gradually paid attention to the scientific collocation of nutrition structure, and paid attention to food supplement, diet therapy and medicated diet, and the study and research of nutrition is in the ascendant. Fourth, raw materials are naturalized. People in Guangzhou are paying more and more attention to environmental protection and sustainable development. Food safety and rest assured meat have become a common concern of the public. The demand for green food and nuisance free food is increasing. Fifth, gastronomic taste. Restaurants in Guangzhou pay more and more attention to the decoration, elegant style, comfortable environment, the decoration of the hall, the naming of dishes, and the clothes of the waiter, all of which reveal the taste of the catering culture. It should be accompanied by melodious music, or dance dances, fashion shows, or Cara OK, so that diners can enjoy themselves in the artistic atmosphere of the United States. The combination of this kind of diet and culture and art will enhance the taste of Guangzhou cuisine, and diners will enjoy more and more rich food culture.

The colorful food culture is an important window to reflect the economic and social development of Guangzhou. I believe that with the construction and development of Guangzhou's modern central city, the potential of "eating in Guangzhou" is unlimited, and the future will be more brilliant.
