Some of these provinces, due to the more developed economy, drive the development of the catering industry, and thus have an advantage in the construction of the culinary industry, such as Guangdong, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Shandong; some for the historical and cultural provinces, has a deep cultural heritage, food culture has a long history, such as Shandong, Zhejiang, Sichuan, Hunan, Hubei; some in the preservation of traditional culture to do better, for example, Zhejiang and Sichuan in the application for heritage to do The city has a long history of food culture, such as Shandong, Zhejiang, Sichuan, Hunan and Hubei.

Shandong has strong economic strength and deep cultural heritage, in the Chinese old and catering revenue has a clear advantage, there are 8 Chinese old, ranked second in the country, catering revenue ranked second in the country.
