Most of the delicious food we see today was only 100 years ago, such as boiled fish, which was only around 2000. Sichuan cuisine and pepper were planted and popularized in China in the middle of Qing Dynasty. Most Sichuan cuisine styles were only available in the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, and Chongqing hot pot was only available when the Kuomintang government went to Chongqing during the Anti-Japanese War. Xinjiang saute spicy chicken came into being in the 1990s.
China's food is too NB, full of vitality and evolving rapidly. Today, most of us look down on hundreds of years of traditional dishes and think it's nothing. If you try to eat imperial food yourself, you will know that the ancient emperors only ate precious materials, and the taste was not particularly good.
Japan is different from Korea. The land area is small, and agriculture can only meet the needs of growing food for a long time. This is the taste. In addition, there are few ethnic groups and small regional differences, and the dishes and cooking methods have remained unchanged for hundreds of years. There is nothing to say except digging up stories about the ancients.
Culture is very important to the soul of food. In the past 100 years, the cultural changes in China have been very dramatic. Since the May 4th Movement, national awakening, the introduction and integration of western food culture, the construction of national infrastructure, frequent personnel exchanges, the integration of the north and the south when southerners marry their parents in the north, the integration of the east and the west when northwestern people marry their daughters-in-law in the southeast, and the integration of Chinese and western cultures between China people and foreigners will all bring new vitality, new dishes and new ideas.
China people are also very good at integration. Confucius' argument about China people and foreigners set the tone 2,000 years ago. People are not treated according to race and color, but as a standard of cultural integration. This concept leads China people to be flexible in many ways. Everyone knows the idiom "when in Rome, do as the Romans do" long ago, so the food can be improved continuously.
To sum up, there are so many delicious things in China that we really need to shoot them. For example, in "China on the Tip of the Tongue", the food in China is so dynamic and evolves very fast. Therefore, ancient food has little influence on TV ratings, so there is no need to present it deliberately.
