Guangdong special food culture

Guangdong cuisine, as one of the eight major cuisines in China, is famous for its extensive selection of materials. In Cantonese cuisine, animals and birds, delicacies, wild vegetables and flowers are all prohibited. Snakes, rats, finches, insects, dogs and cats are jaw-dropping ingredients in other cuisines, but they are regarded as table treasures. For example, people in other provinces are afraid to eat snakes. For example, in ancient times, there was an idiom that "the shadow of a snake is reflected in a glass", and even people mistakenly thought that the shadow of a snake would be scared to get sick, let alone eat it. In Cantonese cuisine, snakes are the best choice. Cantonese people have a long history of eating snakes, but they are the best choice in Cantonese cuisine. There is a song about eating snakes in "The Tales of Foreign Bodies in South Vietnam": "The snake is long and long, and it is a feast for guests." Today, there are nearly 51 kinds of snake gizzards in Guangdong, and there are many restaurants with snakes as their basic dishes. Many foreigners and foreigners come to Guangdong to taste snake gizzards as a pleasure.

In fact, Cantonese people's omnipotence is a reflection of their open mind in diet. As the saying goes, one side of the soil and water support one side of the people, and different geographical environments have created different regional personalities. Guangdong is the only place for cultural exchanges between China and foreign countries, which has formed an open thinking structure of Cantonese people. At the same time, because it is located in the frontier, the control of the dynasties over it is weaker than that of the mainland, and it is less influenced by orthodox feudal thoughts. The influence of the traditional culture of the Central Plains on it is constantly weakening, thus having greater freedom and tolerance.

Learn from others and pay attention to reality

Cantonese cuisine was formed in the Qin and Han Dynasties. It is based on the local food culture, absorbing the essence of domestic Beijing, Shandong, Jiangsu and Sichuan cuisines and the cooking techniques of western food. For example, soaking, grilling and Sichuan in Cantonese cuisine were transplanted from the northern explosion, grilling and frying, and other methods were borrowed from western food and gradually formed.

All similar cultures can explore the relationship from historical contact. In the comparison of the same things between the two places, the greater the qualitative similarity, the more obvious the mutual spread. The openness of Guangdong culture is bound to be compatible, which makes the food culture inclusive and promotes the development of food customs unconsciously.

While learning from others, Guangdong food customs can gradually abandon some bad habits in foreign food and form a style that is not luxurious and practical. Cantonese people pay attention to small but refined diets. Even if they entertain guests, they will never be extravagant and waste. They take full food and good food as the principle, which is in sharp contrast to some places in the north. The extravagance of northerners is precisely due to the formality of etiquette, which certainly has its generous and lovely side, but it should be noted that the red tape in diet cannot be accepted by the behavior of modern society. Of course, this doesn't mean that Cantonese people don't pay attention to etiquette. On the contrary, Cantonese people pay great attention to politeness when they treat guests, so that guests can come on impulse and enjoy themselves, and that kind of extravagance that is divorced from reality is unwilling to be done by pragmatic Cantonese people.

The pragmatic spirit of Guangdong people's current diet style is the inevitable result of the development of modern society. Guangdong people do not live up to their reputation, but pay attention to reality. The spirit of realism in Confucian culture has little influence on Guangdong. On the contrary, they are influenced by the realistic attitude of westerners. This kind of influence has formed that Guangdong people can learn from others' strengths in diet, but at the same time maintain a pragmatic attitude.

Delicate pursuit of enjoyment

The production of a delicious dish depends on the orderly cooperation among all links. Cantonese cuisine has very strict requirements in ingredients, knife work, cooking time, cooking time, cooking, wrapping, utensils, serving methods and many other links. If you cook fish, you should kill it and cook it, so as to keep the delicious taste of the fish; Another example is the production of its platter, which must pay attention to the choice of ingredients in order to achieve the effect of beautiful shape and rich taste. A good platter is not only a dish of delicacies, but also a work of art, which is pleasing to the eye and appetizing.

In Cantonese cuisine, nothing is better than chicken gizzards. There are hundreds of kinds of chicken dishes, which can make guests taste dozens of kinds of chicken dishes without repetition. Almost every famous restaurant has its own signature chicken, such as Wenchang chicken in Guangzhou restaurant, Carved chicken in Beiyuan restaurant, Zhuhou chicken in Foshan, and white-cut chicken in Qingyuan, and so on. Such as white-cut chicken, you must choose small hens or castrated chickens, and Qingyuan Sanhuang chicken is the best. The most important thing in the production is the heat, which is suitable for those who are just cooked and slightly bloodshot after cutting. If they are overdone, the meat will become old, and the characteristics of white-cut chicken will be lost.

The delicacy of diet preparation is inseparable from the Cantonese culture that emphasizes personal value and pursues enjoyment. Enjoyment is not a one-sided pursuit of beer and skittles, it belongs to a moral category, which is the same as asceticism.
