Nothing is appropriate, especially in diet. -Yuan Mei, a scholar in the Qing Dynasty, wrote in his "Garden Food List".

We often say that "you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want". However, Yuan Mei told us that you can't just do things, and you can't eat casually.

After all, the essence of every kind of food has the flavor of memory or the fragrance of homesickness. We are in the middle of the dish, tasting all kinds of flavors and reading the whole life.

As a "big eater", it is natural to cultivate many "eaters", who are not only accomplished in literature, but also very particular about their diet. This is the case with the five people introduced by Intensive Reading Jun. In their works, eating is not only a beautiful thing, but also a great event. About the author:

Yuan Mei, a poet and essayist in Qing Dynasty. The old man, nicknamed Suiyuan, was called Suiyuan, one of the "Eight Masters of Parallel Prose in Qing Dynasty" and "Three Masters of Jiangyou", and his writing style was as famous as that of Ji Yun, a great scholar in Zhili, and he was called "Southern Yuan and Northern Ji". He is the author of Ziwuyu and Suiyuan Poetry.

Content Description:

A book that systematically discusses cooking techniques and North-South dishes. The book is divided into fourteen aspects, such as information list, warning list, seafood list, miscellaneous menu, dim sum list, rice porridge list, tea wine list, etc.

Recommended reason:

Nowadays, when it comes to who can eat best, few people will not mention "Suiyuan Food List", but when it comes to Suiyuan Food List, they will not mention the author Yuan Mei. -Meng Duanhong Author Profile:

Liang Qiushi, a famous essayist, scholar, literary critic and translator, was the first authority to study Shakespeare in China, and his collection of essays set a record for the publication of modern prose works in China. He has published two monographs on literary criticism, Romantic and Classical and Discipline of Literature.

Content Description:

"Ya She Tan Chi" is a concentrated display of Mr. Liang Shiqiu's talent in food culture all his life. "Chan, then focus on the quality of food, the most need to meet is taste. Based on physiological requirements, it can also develop into a taste close to art. "

Recommended reason:

In Liang Shiqiu's works, eating has become a very elegant thing. You can be so meticulous about eating, and such a life can be considered beautiful. About the author:

Wang Zengqi, a contemporary writer and essayist. He is the author of the collection of novels, the collection of encounters, the novel "Being ordained" and "Notes of the Great Nao". Known as "lyrical humanist, the last pure scholar in China and the last scholar-bureaucrat in China."

Content Description:

Homesickness is the missing of taste. This book is a collection of essays by Mr. Wang Zengqi about eating. The language is concise, and there is a book fragrance between the lines, and there is a soil fragrance in the south of the Yangtze River.

Recommended reason:

I keep swallowing. Wang Lao's writing is really childish and lovely. When he makes a conclusion, he just makes a short sentence, which is very similar to a child's certainty. —— About the author of Douban Reading Friends:

Tang Lusun, who was born in a noble family, experienced the treasures of the royal lifestyle, tasted the unique delicacies of various provinces, and had unique opinions on food, so he was named as a gourmet. His works include Antique, Sweet, Sour, Spicy and Salty, Taste of the World, etc., which are rich in quantity and fine in quality, and are allowed to be a generation of essays, and the exquisite aesthetics of life conveyed in this article is even more a model for petty bourgeoisie later.

Content Description:

This book is about China people's eating and the profound culture of eating. Besides eating, it also talks about wine culture, drinking tea, cigarettes and smoking. In this article, I talked with Mr. Lin Yutang, a humorous master, about cigarettes overnight, which should not be missed.

Recommended reason:

There are Jin Yong as a chivalrous man, Levin as a historian and Lu Sun as a eater. This book is the author's reminiscence in his later years. It is handy and full of fun, which can not only broaden people's knowledge, but also correct the gaps in history and folklore. About the author:

Zhao Heng, former editor-in-chief and editor of Beijing Yanshan Publishing House. Over the years, he has been engaged in the research of cultural history, Beijing history and traditional Chinese opera history, and has written "Gourmet's Random Writing" and "Tangwai Tan Scrap".

Content Description:

The Gourmet's Random Writing is the theme memory of literary masters. What is recorded in the book, or people or things, or scenery or places of interest or tidbits or anecdotes, is all related to eating. It uses a plain tone to hook and sink all aspects related to diet, but it is not high, and it is not to sublimate the appetite into the essence of culture.

Recommended reason:

Gourmet is a "gourmet ghost" despised by people, but Su Shi once claimed to be a gourmet, and wrote "Gourmet Fu": "The beauty of the polymer is to support my gourmet." Since then, "gourmets" have become synonymous with literati who pursue food without losing their elegance. Zhao Heng, the author of this book, is an expert in this field.

The five "old people" have their own styles: Tang Lusun eats liberal arts, Liang Shiqiu eats rationally, Wang Zengqi eats profoundly, Yuan Mei eats fastidiously, and Zhao Heng eats casually. I wonder what kind of life you have on your dining table.
