1. "Family" narrative is the unit of cultural expression.
China people's life has always been centered on their parents and family. Since ancient times, there has been a saying that home is the foundation of a country. Family consciousness is very prominent. In the eyes of China people, the meaning of family is extraordinary, and people's personality and interests are far less than family. Many cultural features of China are produced and developed under this unique "China family".
The series "Tip of the Tongue" takes the family as the basic shooting unit and focuses on the real family atmosphere among the widest audience. From the first season to the second season, the concept of family runs through. Whether it's the mother who is busy with her children in handmade noodles or the uncle Long who carefully selects chicken for her great-granddaughter in spicy chicken, every food is deeply branded as "family" and brings people the touch from family.
2. "Gourmet" is presented as a cultural perspective.
In China, the meaning of diet goes far beyond appetite, and it is an important way for people to connect their emotions. In the process of eating, whether it is a family dinner or a formal banquet, people in China always sit around a table, put all the dishes in front of them, and propose a toast and propose a toast according to their own preferences to show mutual respect, comity, harmony and reunion among people. Therefore, for China people who love to eat delicious food, it is a flattering way to promote China culture as a starting point.
The typical technique of China's ink painting creation-"splashing ink" is widely used in the lens switching and painting mode of "The Tip of the Tongue". The characters, ingredients, food and natural landscapes involved in the program are closely spliced through "overlapping" and "changing color". The opening title of the first season is "Chopsticks and Bacon Landscape China Ink Painting". In the second season, noodles flowing on chopsticks are connected in series with Chinese cuisine.
3. "Homesickness" is the core of cultural communication.
People in China emphasize "thinking about the source of drinking water" and "one side of water and soil will nourish one side of people", and the food culture in different regions itself contains historical and cultural factors. For China people, "eating" not only means supplementing various elements necessary for the continuation of life, but also connects and maintains various feelings. This is also the collective memory of China people for their hometown and family, and it is also the "homesickness" that China people cannot forget.
As Bai Bo, a native of Shanxi who lives in Beijing in The Story of Staple Food, said, "What you eat from snacks will always stay in your body, feeling that it always tastes like that". The memory of taste buds is essentially the memory of hometown. The series connection of various food cultures from all corners of the country and from all directions in french kiss has formed people's nostalgia for their hometown. For modern people, walking in the city is homesickness. Diet, from the deepest memory of childhood, makes countless people who can only go home on holidays miss the taste of memories when traveling in a foreign land.
