The first stage was from the middle of 17th century to before the Revolution of 1911. The germination of western food in China can be traced back to the mid-17th century. At that time, capitalism began to appear in some countries in western Europe. In order to find the market, some businessmen came to Guangzhou and other coastal areas to trade, and some government officials and missionaries also went to some towns in China to carry out cultural infiltration activities such as missionary work. Generally, these people have lived in China for a long time. Because of their habits, they bring their own food and their own chefs, and some of them hire people from China to serve them. In this way, the lifestyle of western countries has a great influence in China. In the Qing Dynasty, especially after the Opium War, more and more westerners entered our country. In this way, western cooking techniques were gradually introduced into China. During the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty, profit-making western restaurants (then called "Fancai Restaurant"), cafes and bakeries started to appear in China. Since then, China has a western food industry. According to historical records in the late Qing Dynasty, the earliest fan restaurant was "Yipin Xiang" in Fuzhou Road, Shanghai, and then many fan restaurants such as "Haitian Spring", "Yijiachun", "Jiangnan Spring", "Wanjiachun" and "Jixiang Spring" also opened in Shanghai. The western food industry in Beijing began in Guangxu period, represented by "Drunken Qionglin" and "Yuzhen Garden". The second stage is from the Revolution of 1911 to before liberation. After the Revolution of 1911, China was in a semi-colonial and semi-feudal society in which warlords fought each other. Hotels, restaurants, and western restaurants became places where military and political leaders, foreigners, comprador, and wealthy aristocrats communicated and enjoyed themselves. Under the stimulation of this situation, the western food industry developed rapidly. At that time, there were many restaurants and western restaurants operating western food. The third stage is from liberation to the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee. After liberation, with the increasing friendly exchanges between China and other countries in the world, some new hotels were built, such as "Beijing Hotel" and "Peace Hotel" built in Beijing in the 1951s. At that time, due to the close contacts between China and eastern European countries headed by the former Soviet Union, Russian-style western food developed rapidly in the 1951s and 1961s. The fourth stage is after the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee. China has implemented the policy of opening to the outside world, and the tourism industry has developed rapidly. Many high-end tourist hotels have been built all over the country, many of which are Sino-foreign joint ventures or wholly foreign-owned enterprises, and many foreign chefs and Hong Kong chefs have been employed. But also introduced many new equipment and technologies. At the same time, some old hotels are also making progress, sending chefs to study abroad one after another, which makes the western food industry in China have a new development. Strengthen brand awareness. This aspect is most prominent in the fast food market. The main reason why western-style fast food can stand firm in China market is that western-style fast food, as a part of western food culture, is favored by Chinese people, especially curious teenagers, and influenced by the consumer psychology of pursuing fashion. In the final analysis, it is a reflection of the cultural phenomenon that brands represent fashion. Although this is an immature consumer psychology, it touches the traditional concept of diet management on the other hand. Change the traditional diet pattern. The pace of China's construction has been accelerated, and the life rhythm of Chinese people has also been accelerated with the unprecedented growth of life competitiveness, which has led to the change of consumption patterns, especially food-oriented, and the emergence of a "breakfast and lunch outside, dinner at home" eating pattern. Western-style fast food, with its convenience, stable quality and suitable environment, meets the multi-level needs of people's convenience, style and taste, and conforms to and guides the change of eating pattern to some extent. Pay attention to the dining environment. Western food products have a strong integrity, that is, facilities, atmosphere, service and environmental decoration are coordinated and unified. This has also greatly promoted and influenced the domestic catering industry, making it pay more and more attention to the dining environment, strengthening the sense of characteristics, increasing many cultural elements, and meeting the growing psychological needs of consumers.
