China itself is vast in territory and abundant in resources, full of diversity; Turkey (to be exact, the Ottoman Empire) is connected with Eurasia and can get all kinds of ingredients and spices from the Mediterranean and the Middle East. France has the most suitable land for agriculture on the European continent, and it can also get all kinds of European ingredients. Various ingredients provide a solid foundation for the development of cooking culture.

As the "first party" in ancient and modern times, the royal family is naturally the first customer of high-quality food. In this regard, China has a centralized tradition and a chef for thousands of years; Turkey inherited the chefs of the Eastern Rome and the Ottoman Empire; France is the center of European court culture.
3. Historical inheritance
Tradition is based on history. The more a country with a long history, the more it can form a distinctive dietary tradition, and it is easier to have a far-reaching impact on the surrounding areas. In addition, geographically, China in the "three major cuisines" symbolizes the East (East Asia); France symbolizes the west (continental Europe); On the other hand, Turkey connects Europe and Asia and integrates the traditions of the East and the West (Eastern Mediterranean, Middle East and Central Asia). Obviously, these three countries are not "slapping their heads" but representative. In the Chinese Internet world, the three major cuisines have been given a higher level of significance. For example, China cuisine covers East Asia and Southeast Asia, Turkish cuisine covers the Islamic world, and French cuisine covers European and American generalized western food. It is rare to see similar references on the internet, and generally only the three major cuisines themselves are mentioned.
