Confucius cuisine represents Confucius and inherits the dietary concepts of Confucius' Confucianism.
After palace cuisine, another major cuisine is official cuisine, which originated in the Spring and Autumn Period and lasted throughout feudal society.
During the Spring and Autumn Period, one of Qi Huangong's favorite gourmets was Yi Ya.
His family dinners were no less than palace dinners.
Yi Ya often cooked delicious food for Qi Huangong, which won the favor of Qi Huangong.
It is precisely for this reason that Yi Ya has become one of the three famous chefs in the cooking industry.
The most popular government dishes have appeared in every dynasty since Yiya.
Speaking of official cuisine that influenced the entire feudal society, it was Confucius’ cuisine.
After Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty "attacked hundreds of schools in Guizhou and exclusively focused on Confucianism," Confucius laid the political and economic foundation for the development of Confucius' diet.
Confucius's descendants continued the title of Duke of Feast from generation to generation, becoming the most influential family in China and owning the largest hereditary residence in China.
Especially during the Ming and Qing dynasties, the Duke of Fengyan enjoyed hereditary power.
It is conceivable that for more than 2,000 years, the 77-generation family has inherited the food attitudes of Confucius and Confucianism and accumulated rich food experience.
"Confucius Cuisine" is directly influenced by Confucius' dietary thoughts. The dishes teach cooking skills and promote the food culture.
It has lasted for more than 2,500 years and continued for more than 70 generations.
It has become a system of its own and enjoys a long history.
Interestingly, "Confucius cuisine" also likes to use numbers to string the names of these dishes together.
You can actually go from one row to ten thousand: Confucius first-class hot pot, three fresh shrimps and four happy balls, five-spice orchid elbow and six-line pieces, Qiqiao tofu and eight immortals crossing the sea to make Arhats, nine-layer chicken tower with assorted vegetables, lily and deer breast mille-feuille cake, plus
The last one is a bird's nest with 10,000 gold and silver duck pieces.
In addition, there are also the poetic ginkgo, fairy duck, scallops to the court, grilled mandarin fish with flowers and so on.
