Because China is vast in territory and abundant in natural resources, with different climate, products and customs, it has formed many flavors in its diet for a long time. There has always been a saying in China that "southern rice goes north", and the tastes are divided into "sweet in the south, salty in the north, sour in the east and spicy in the west", mainly in Bashu, Qilu, Huaiyang, Guangdong, Fujian and other places. Second, the four seasons are different. Eating according to seasons all year round is another major feature of China cooking.

China's cooking is not only superb, but also has a tradition of paying attention to the aesthetic feeling of dishes and the harmony of color, fragrance, taste, shape and container of food. There are many ways to express the beauty of dishes. No matter carrots or cabbage hearts, they can be carved into various shapes and have a unique style, achieving a harmonious unity of color, fragrance, taste, shape and beauty, giving people a special enjoyment of a high degree of unity of spirit and material. Fourth, pay attention to interest. China's cooking has long paid attention to taste, and it has strict requirements not only on the color, aroma and taste of snacks, but also on their naming, tasting methods, rhythm during meals and rhythm during entertainment. China dishes can be said to be superb, appealing to both refined and popular tastes.

West Lake vinegar fish, commonly known as West Lake vinegar fish, is one of the traditional famous dishes in Hangzhou.

The history of vinegar fish in West Lake begins with the "Song Sao Fish Soup" in Hangzhou in the Southern Song Dynasty more than 800 years ago. Legend has it that at the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, Jin Bing invaded, and Zhao Gou, King of Kang, fled south, making Lin 'an his capital. At that time, there was a woman named Song Wusao who refused to accept the rule of the invaders and fled to Lin 'an from the north with her brother-in-law to make a living by fishing in the West Lake. Once, my brother-in-law was caught in a rainstorm and fell ill in bed. WuSao is making fish and eggs for her brother-in-law to supplement her body. Unexpectedly, the officers and men came to catch young men to build palaces. Sister Song begged the officers and men not to catch her bedridden brother-in-law and accidentally knocked over the wine and vinegar bottle on the stove. After the officers and men left, the fish eggs in the pot were boiled into soup, but the brother-in-law felt extremely delicious after eating it, and his appetite was wide open, and he soon recovered. Since then, the neighborhood has become a delicious fish soup. Later, when Xiaozong visited the West Lake in the Southern Song Dynasty, he summoned Sister Song. After tasting the fish soup, he was greatly appreciated. Give him a large sum of money, and give him a wine flag as a rainbow, let him make fish soup and sell official wine exclusively. After continuous improvement, "Song Saoyu Soup" has become a famous dish in fish dishes. Louwailou Restaurant, which was founded in Daoguang period of Qing Dynasty, inherited this famous dish, innovated the "West Lake Vinegar Fish" with fresh and sweet crab meat, and publicized it as "Sister Song in Beijing is the first delicacy of the West Lake", becoming the first famous dish in Hangzhou.
