However, if we understand the series of "The Tip of the Tongue" from a broader perspective, and see clearly what ideas it hopes to convey and what contents it records, maybe we will not understand it from the narrow point of "talking less".
The series "The Tip of the Tongue", of course, talks about the exquisite production technology of Chinese food and the unique delicacies in various places, but this is only the first meaning.
I don't think this is a pure food film, at least it is not a documentary about food introduction with rigorous scientific exploration.
the film itself is just like Chinese food-it is not rigorous, but it emphasizes "artistic conception" and "taste".
Rather than introducing the delicacies in Chinese culture, it conveys the profound culture of China and the various states of the world under the drastic changes in China society through delicacies-all these things are symbolized and materialized by "eating", thus being conveyed to everyone in an abstract way.
Chinese food is undoubtedly the most influential cultural content of Chinese culture to the outside world, and its influence on the western world is even far beyond China's art and commodities.
The reason for this is not only that Chinese food is rich in color and delicious, but more importantly, China people's thinking mode, philosophy, living habits and so on, all of which are devoted to "eating".
China people's highest standard to measure the quality of life is eating, and the main body of all celebrations is eating.
People in China have great differences in tastes and dishes. For example, the difference between Shandong pie and Guangdong exquisite small dish is not only the difference in climate and ingredients, but also the difference in culture and way of thinking. If you understand eating, you will understand China culture. If you want to understand China culture, I'm afraid quite a few people need to start with "eating".
From this perspective, the intention of "Tip of the Tongue 2" may not simply describe the technology and taste of food itself objectively, but make food a clue to record the beauty of human nature, people's rush for life and the conflict between tradition and modernity in contemporary China society.
