classification of cuisines:

Chinese food culture has a long history and is profound. It has profound historical connotation, exquisite technology, rich categories, numerous schools and different styles. Originated in the Central Plains, China's eight traditional cuisines gradually formed after different development and changes in this vast land of China.

From the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the food culture began to show regional differences. By the time of the Tang and Song Dynasties, the southern food and the northern food had their own systems. In the early Qing Dynasty, Shandong cuisine, Sichuan cuisine, Guangdong cuisine and Jiangsu cuisine became the most influential local dishes at that time, which were called the four major cuisines. By the end of the Qing Dynasty, four new local cuisines, namely, Zhejiang Cuisine, Fujian Cuisine, Hunan Cuisine and Anhui Cuisine, were differentiated and formed, and * * * isomorphic became the "eight major cuisines" of the Chinese national diet.

In addition to the eight major cuisines, the food culture has developed to this day, and more influential cuisines have emerged: Northeast Cuisine, Local Cuisine and Beijing Cuisine.
