On the discussion of diet, although people are advanced animals, they still need to "eat" like ordinary animals. As a result, a variety of dazzling delicacies have been born, which have been enduring since ancient times. Let's look at the discussion about diet.
Discussion on diet 1 Our traditional diet has four characteristics:
1, heavy food: The ancients said, "Food is the most important thing for the people", and when they meet, they often ask, "Have you eaten?" It can be seen that the status of food culture.
2. Re-feeding: Make up "six dirty" with "five grains", and pay attention to human health care in diet.
3, heavy taste: China diet pays the most attention to the taste of food, paying attention to "color, fragrance, taste and shape." The differences of various tastes form the basis of various cuisines.
4. Pay attention to management: pay attention to the collocation of various foods, and guide cooking with the rational understanding of harmony between Yin and Yang, such as mutual restraint and complementarity.
It is precisely because China people pay attention to the delicacy of ingredients, cooking and eating. , its content is rich and profound, with distinctive national characteristics, both compatible and special. From ancient times to the present, it has been passed down from generation to generation, bringing forth the old and bringing forth the new.
Different eating habits have created different food cultures. China people's congress has always been a style, when eating, it is naturally seven big plates and eight big bowls. One is to show wealth, the other is to put on airs; In recent years, compared with eating all over the country, the whole country is competing for supremacy, and finally eight major cuisines have been formed, that is, eight different "masters" are eating; Although a bit vulgar, it is still very expressive.
Therefore, the deep connotation of China's food culture can be simply summarized as eight words: exquisite, pleasing to the eye, devoted and polite. These eight words reflect the unique cultural implications of food quality, aesthetic experience, emotional activities and social functions in the process of food activities, and also reflect the close relationship between food culture and Chinese excellent traditional culture.
Exquisite; When we are proud, we all like to order some exquisite dishes in pubs and restaurants, or make some exquisite dishes ourselves to treat ourselves and our relatives and friends, and then we need to eat an atmosphere, taste and even culture. Since diet is a kind of culture, a kind of "eating" culture, and quality consciousness is a kind of cultural spirit, it permeates and implements the whole process of diet activities more and more widely and deeply. The selection of materials, cooking, compatibility and even the eating environment all reflect "exquisiteness". Especially in the modern society, which attaches great importance to personal health care, it is required that our diet should be refined, so that culture can be integrated into the diet and exposed, so as to "eat" culture and avoid and abandon the indecent behavior of "munching on the door" and bad habits harmful to health.
Pleasant to the eye; This is an advanced stage to sublimate the culture and connotation of "eating", which embodies the aesthetic characteristics of food culture. One of the important reasons why Chinese food can conquer the world lies in its beauty, which makes consumers feel "I don't know the taste of meat in March" and at the same time is more amazing and pleasing to the eye. This kind of pleasing to the eye refers to the perfect unity of the form and content of China's food activities, and refers to the aesthetic pleasure and spiritual enjoyment it brings to people, first of all, the taste is beautiful. Dr. Sun Yat-sen once said that "the taste is not deep, and the cooking is not refined", and regarded the aesthetics of "taste" as the first essence of cooking.
As the basic connotation of food culture, pleasing food is the charm of China cuisine, which runs through every link of food activities.
Fall in love; This is a summary of the social and psychological functions of China's food culture. Because there are all kinds of feelings in cooking and eating. The people who cook this dish devote themselves wholeheartedly to it, while the people who eat this dish taste their favorite food with gratitude and appreciation. Eating, drinking and drinking can not be simply regarded as a medium of emotional communication between people, but a unique social activity. Chatting while eating can do business, exchange information and interview. When friends leave and say hello, people are used to expressing their farewell or welcome at the dinner table, and emotional turmoil is often calmed down through the dinner table. This is the regulating effect of dietary activities on social psychology. In the past, everyone could sit down to drink tea, listen to books, put on a dragon gate array or vent their dissatisfaction with the court. This was an excellent psychological massage.
The reason why China's diet has the function of "lyricism" is because of the philosophical thought of "drinking virtue, eating harmony, and all nations are happy together" and the resulting diet with national characteristics. For the emotional culture in food activities, there is a problem of guiding and improving taste. We should advocate healthy, beautiful and enterprising cultural sentiments and pursue noble sentiments.
Politeness; It refers to the etiquette of eating activities. China is a country of etiquette, and this etiquette and the way of governing the country are also permeated in the diet. And the diet pays attention to "etiquette", which has a lot to do with our traditional culture. This is a ceremony of being born, getting sick, welcoming, worshiping God and ancestors. Book of rites? Li Yun said: "At the beginning of the ceremony, all kinds of food and drinks began." "Rites" also pay attention to a kind of order and norms, such as the seating direction on important occasions, the placement of public chopsticks and spoons, the order of serving, the symbols and origins of certain dishes, etc. All embody "courtesy".
When we talk about "etiquette", we should understand it as a kind of spirit, an internal ethical spirit, which runs through the process of food activities, thus forming the logical starting point of China's food civilization.
Exquisite, pleasing to the eye, sincere and courteous diet summarizes the basic connotation of China's diet culture from different angles. In other words, these four aspects organically constitute the overall concept of China's diet culture. However, they do not exist in isolation, but are interdependent and mutually causal. They are intertwined and perfectly unified, which constitutes the highest realm of China's food culture. China cuisine is also the Chinese nation's "eating" culture with its mouth since ancient times, a strong China cuisine culture, which has been continuously promoted, affecting ourselves and the people around us, as well as the catering industry all over the world.
Discussion about diet. Unhealthy eating habits
In modern society, people often don't have enough to eat, and everyone pays great attention to shaping and losing weight. Some people are hungry for a long time or have insufficient diet, or take too few nutrients for improvement. These bad practices will lead to emaciation and fatigue, and serious will lead to various nutrient deficiencies. Su Wen in Neijing once pointed out: "If you don't go into the valley, you will be weak for half a day, and there will be less weather." Insufficient diet, especially the lack of protein and heat energy, makes the body in a negative nitrogen balance state, constantly consuming protein in the body and converting it into heat energy for demand, which will cause metabolic disorders, growth and development disorders, low immune function and lead to malignant malnutrition. If some nutrients are lacking for a long time, it will cause various nutrient deficiencies.
Overeating and frequent overeating will not only affect the digestion and absorption function due to the heavy burden on the stomach, but also lead to overnutrition and cause diseases. Overeating or long-term satiety can cause digestive tract dysfunction. Overeating and obesity, nutritional imbalance, partial overnutrition, accumulation in the body cause metabolic disorder, which can produce hyperlipidemia, hypertension, diabetes, obesity and so on. Su Wen in Neijing said that "the change of sorghum can give birth to a great doctor", while "the daughter needs to change the staple food" said that "the husband has too much phlegm in his body, which is caused by improper diet", which mostly refers to the pathological changes caused by overeating or being too fat and too sweet.
Excessive partial eclipse or partial eclipse will lead to nutritional disorder and metabolic disorder, which will lead to various diseases. Similarly, overeating can also cause overnutrition or affect the function of various organs. For example, people who like snacks are prone to intestinal dysfunction. Because snacks contain more sugar and fat, they lack protein and vitamins, which can lead to malnutrition or vitamin deficiency. For example, people who like salty food will have high blood pressure due to the increase of osmotic pressure of extracellular fluid, the increase of intravascular plasma volume and the increase of vascular resistance, or edema due to the overload of kidneys. For example, people who like to eat meat and fish will consume too much cholesterol, leading to arteriosclerosis and vascular sclerosis. However, vegetarians are easy to lack trace elements and vitamin B 12. "Su Wen in Neijing" has already discussed that "eating more salty food leads to discolored pulse; Eat more bitter food, peel off the skin and pull out the hair ... ",many of which have been confirmed by modern science.
Often eat cold food or raw food. The ancients have long noticed that eating cold food is an important cause of human illness. Since the fire was discovered, they began to advocate eating cooked food. For example, in the Book of Rites, it was said that in ancient times, "the flesh of birds and animals containing grass was not cremated, and its blood was like hair", but "Suiren people began to drill wood for fire, and the cannon was cooked, which made people have no intestinal diseases". Therefore, the cooking treatment of diet is an important aspect to reduce diseases. Raw food, especially fish, is not only easy to make people sick, because it contains bacteria or parasites, but also difficult to digest and absorb and damage the stomach. Cold food not only stimulates the stomach and leads to indigestion, but also easily induces diseases such as cough and asthma.
Eating too fast or eating too much soup food too fast increases the burden of eating because the food fails to give full play to the digestive function of saliva, which often leads to inflammation or ulcer. For example, soup can burn taste buds and lead to loss of appetite, while oral and esophageal tumors (such as squatting) will affect digestion and absorption due to blood circulation disorder, which often leads to loss of appetite and digestive dysfunction.
