Manchu-Han banquet, a palace feast in Qing Dynasty, is said to be a large-scale banquet that combines the dietary characteristics of Manchu and Han nationality. Originally, it was a birthday banquet for Emperor Kangxi at the age of 66, aiming at resolving the disharmony between Manchu and Han and promoting the Manchu and Han families.
There are at least 108 kinds of dishes (54 kinds in the south and 54 kinds in the north) at the Manchu-Han banquet, which will be eaten in three days. The dishes are salty and sweet, the meat quality is exquisite, the materials are extensive, the materials are fine, and the food is all-inclusive. Later, the Manchu-Han banquet became the floorboard of large-scale luxury banquets, and the dishes were constantly supplemented and updated, which was the epitome of Chinese cuisine.
