The Qing Dynasty was the closest feudal dynasty to the present. We can see the recipes of Emperor Qianlong from the diet records. Looking at the past dozen dishes set a table, we have ostentation and extravagance. If we really look at the contents of these dishes carefully, you will find that the main raw materials of these dishes are either chicken or duck, which makes people feel greasy. A table of meat and vegetables is full of vegetables, and it doesn't pay attention to the collocation of diet at all, let alone any healthy cooking methods. What is more sad is that these dozens of dishes are usually served on the emperor's table after a series of procedures. After all this trouble, where did the delicious food come from, just like leftovers, which made people have no appetite at all.

Emperor Guangxu, as everyone knows, has little power in his hand, but he is bent on doing something practical for the people. He wants an egg and noodle soup, which most people can't eat. The reason is that people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs are seriously corrupt. They told Guangxu that it would cost a lot of money to make these things, and he had to put up with this desire for the sake of people's livelihood.

Because the founding emperor was born in a bad family, their recipes were all very common side dishes. Now we can eat them in any restaurant, nothing special.

The menu of the Emperor of the Song Dynasty was rich, but if he wanted to have a midnight snack, he would also go to a stall outside the palace to have a midnight snack. It is difficult to buy snacks in the palace. Therefore, the emperor should often go out to eat, or he will get tired of eating palace food all day long. In fact, the midnight snack in the palace is not as rich as the folk.
