It can be said that talents and resources are concentrated in the north, where there are people, there is demand, so we have to eat. What's more, the ancients paid attention to diet. As the capital of a country and an economic, political and cultural center, they certainly have the most banquets and the highest food standards, so they should be able to form their own unique and exquisite dishes. But in fact, on the contrary, Xi 'an, as the capital of Han and Tang Dynasties, is now most famous for mutton buns, and Xi 'an can't form its own food at all. Looking at the Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival and Water Margin, we can also know that the economy of the Northern Song Dynasty was quite developed, and Kaifeng's catering should be quite rich. Results Henan cuisine did not form a cuisine, and the most famous one was Jiaoma soup. If the Han, Tang and Song Dynasties were long ago, recipes were lost and eating habits changed. What about Beijing?
Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties successively established capitals, and there were many century-old shops, but Beijing cuisine was not the climate. The most famous are roast duck and instant-boiled mutton. Shandong cuisine is the most popular dish in the north, probably because Confucius has always been raised by the imperial court. Confucius formed a set of rules for his memorial service, and the dishes naturally have to be preserved, so that Shandong cuisine has become a complete cuisine and has been preserved. Compared with the south, all kinds of cuisines are not to mention, no matter the fineness of production, the selection of materials, the taste and so on, they are superior to the northern cuisines.
From the perspective of cuisines, southern cuisines have obvious advantages, including Guangdong Cantonese cuisine, Sichuan Sichuan cuisine, Hunan Hunan cuisine, Jiangsu, Zhejiang and hangzhou dishes. But there are almost no independent cuisines in the north. Of course, the food in the northeast is also quite distinctive. The overall characteristics are exquisite diet in the south and rough diet in the north. ?
Judging from the amount of food, most foods in the south are small and refined. The north is rich and thick, and the south is rich in vegetables all year round. In winter, the northern Chinese cabbage is the most, and it is still a greenhouse vegetable, but the varieties are relatively few. Especially in rural areas, the difference may be even greater. ?
From the perspective of drinking soup, there is a great difference between the north and the south: southerners eat soup as a dish, mostly in hot summer, while Guangzhou and Fujian drink soup before meals and when drinking, especially Guangzhou people make soup. Northerners, on the other hand, drink soup all the year round, but soup is drunk after meals, which is generally not served as a dish, and it is mainly eaten in winter, which makes them feel warm.
