The long platform is an ancient food-serving utensil, usually used to hold delicacies during banquets or sacrificial activities. The unique temperament displayed by Changtai not only witnesses the food culture in the long history, but also reflects the diligent, hospitable and enthusiastic style of our Chinese nation. Therefore, the meaning of the long platform can be interpreted as prosperity, grandness, solemnity, harmony, etc.
Although we no longer use the long table as a banquet utensil, the value of the long table is still reflected in contemporary times. In recent years, benches have become a popular design element. Many furniture brands have launched a series of bench designs, ranging from low-key elegance to modern and fashionable styles. Different benches present wonderful life sentiments and historical connotations. These long platform designs show people’s life aesthetics and rich spiritual outlook.
In the history of Chinese catering, the Changtai is widely used and enjoys an important position. It carries the diversity and spiritual connotation of catering culture. Whether it is a banquet, a sacrifice or a family gathering, the Changtai has a brilliant performance and adds a strong touch to the food culture. Therefore, Changtai's contribution to Chinese catering culture is not only the inheritance and promotion of traditional heritage, but also adding a fashionable flavor to Chinese catering culture in the new era.
