The difference between traditional and modern monthly meals is mainly reflected in the following aspects:

1. Selection of ingredients: traditional monthly meals usually choose some ingredients with nourishing effect, such as red dates, wolfberries, pig's feet, chickens and so on. The modern monthly meal in the retention of traditional ingredients on the basis of more attention to nutritional balance, will choose more kinds of vegetables, fruits, meat and other ingredients.

2. Cooking method: The cooking method of the traditional monthly meal is relatively simple, mostly using stewing, boiling, steaming and so on. Modern menstrual meals pay more attention to cooking skills and will use more cooking methods, such as braising, steaming, stir-frying, etc., to increase the taste and nutritional value of the dishes.

3. Seasoning: The seasoning of traditional menstrual meals is relatively simple, usually using only salt, soy sauce and other basic seasonings. Modern menstrual meals, on the other hand, will use different seasonings to match the characteristics of different ingredients in order to increase the taste and flavor of the dishes.

4. Nutritional ratios: Modern menstrual meals pay more attention to nutritional balance, and will be based on the physical condition of the mother and newborn, to develop a more scientific and reasonable diet program. Although the traditional monthly meal also has a certain nutritional effect, but relatively speaking, the nutritional ratio may not be scientific.
