With his masterpiece Dragon Ridge, he became famous in one fell swoop and won many awards at international and domestic TV festivals. The other is a food columnist who loves to taste and study food. When documentary and food, his two favorite occupations, collided, sparks flew.

Zhang Ailing once used white roses and red roses to describe men's struggles against different types of women. As a foodie, Chen Xiaoqing has invested more hesitation in the choice of food-"For example, is cabbage moss better or red and white cabbage moss better?"

Xia Yanping is a senior editor of Zhejiang Satellite TV documentary and his good friend. She has studied Chen Xiaoqing's eating methods many times. When he was worried about eating in Beijing, as long as he sent a short message to Chen Xiaoqing, the other party would tirelessly send more than a dozen recommendations, and his "walking map" radiated all over the country.

However, Chen Xiaoqing never recommended food in restaurants, mostly roadside stalls and folk private kitchens. "When he first discovered Jiangnan Yi, Hangzhou people didn't know it." Xia Yanping said.

Therefore, the attitude of looking for a simple and safe Chinese flavor runs through China on the tip of the tongue. "China people love to eat because of their love for life, and the big taste will be weak. Often in the most remote and occluded kitchen, you can taste the best human taste. " Chen Xiaoqing said.

"Make this documentary with respect and love for food." This is Chen Xiaoqing's initial and final orientation of China on the Tip of the Tongue.
