Gu Qingsheng's taste may be due to his innate sensitivity. His food prose has always been praised by Chinese readers. As early as 1994, the "People's Political Consultative Conference" opened a food prose column for him, and it was printed in boldface, which was not seen in newspapers.

Passed.

At first, he only wrote about the dishes he cooked, which was purely a game, and he also wrote about some things he ate when he was a teenager.

Later, I discovered that Shijian has a profound historical and cultural heritage, so I decided to investigate.

When Gu Qingsheng wrote about human geography, he started with food.

He said that China's five thousand years of culture is a food culture.

In fact, Gu Qingsheng has a relatively clear and rational understanding of food prose.

He understands the distance between China's current culture and academics and the West.

However, there is a blank space, and that is farming civilization, or farming culture.

Food culture is the shell of farming culture.

Gu Qingsheng's uncle is still farming in his hometown in Jiangxi. He loves the country and the peach blossom world. He found that he is best suited to study this area.

Gu Qingsheng's food culture writing actually conceals many of his strengths, such as his concern and investigation of ecology, and his knowledge of animals and plants. People think he is a professor at the College of Agriculture or Forestry.

He is now using Shennongjia as a base for ecological investigation. He said he will stay there for at least 6 years. Think about how many ideas a writer will generate if he stays in a virgin forest for 6 years.

Several years of traveling around the world have completely broadened the scope of Gu Qingsheng's food prose.

He has a deeper understanding of food: everyone thinks that the food in his hometown is the best. Hometown is a kind of enzyme, and the taste contains nostalgia.

What you eat in childhood is integrated into your taste memory and is difficult to change.

Perhaps the most unforgettable thing for a person who has eaten all over the world is the simplicity and care of his mother's cooking.

Gu Qingsheng's food prose gradually evolved into a unique travel prose text as he traveled around the world.

"Big Mouth Eats Everywhere", "Barbecue on the left and simmering on the right", "Thoughts of the Fish Head", "Southern on the Taste Buds", "Eating in the Rivers and Lakes", "Wandering Fish", etc., quickly became popular in book markets all over the world, making the ancient

Qingsheng became a best-selling author.

After "Eat Drink" became famous far and wide, Gu Qingsheng received invitations from all over the country every year, either as a food consultant or as a food guest on TV stations.

This created better conditions for him to write travel prose.

He has also become an authoritative gourmet in China.

Some people joke that if a friend comes to Beijing to see Gu Qingsheng and he takes you to a special hotel, it will be a general reception.
