Elegant cuisine has many dishes, a wide range of flavors, exquisite and complicated practices and a long history. All cuisines are related, but they are different and have their own characteristics, so that people with different appetites can enjoy delicious food in China.

The influence of China cuisine has already gone far beyond the territorial limits. In Japan, there is a well-known cartoon "China's Little Master" that promotes China cuisine, and in Europe and America, there are China restaurants run by Chinese, which are not only the meaning of food, but also a cultural export. The eight major cuisines (Cantonese cuisine, Sichuan cuisine, Shandong cuisine, Huaiyang cuisine, Zhejiang cuisine, Fujian cuisine, Hunan cuisine, and Anhui cuisine) reflect not only the differences in ingredients and cooking methods, but also the differences in cultural customs caused by the differences between the north and the south of China and the vast territory, which were all inclusive during the period.
