China is vast in territory and abundant in natural resources. People have whimsical ideas and invented various cuisines, so there are more delicious foods.

China has been in a feudal society for a long time, and the working people need all kinds of food to satisfy their nutrition. Therefore, we will make good use of all kinds of food scraps, such as Lamian Noodles, beef offal, animal blood products, stinky tofu and so on. People in the West have been eating hamburgers, French fries and meal replacement for a hundred years, and seldom come into contact with China cuisine. All of a sudden, you are in the food and drink area of China, and you will fall into a moment of opening your taste buds.

Some foreigners think that the diversity of food in China is caused by history, geography, climate and national culture. Historically, foreigners believe that there were different cooking cultures in different periods in ancient China. For example, during the Southern Song Dynasty, a pattern of sweet in the south and salty in the north was formed. Geographically, foreigners have fully realized that China has vast territory and abundant resources, just like a continent.

Cultural differences

In terms of cultural differences, foreigners realize that different ethnic cultures in China have countless foods, which together constitute Chinese food. China has a long history and a culture of more than 5,111 years. In these thousands of years of development, food is only one aspect. China people are far ahead of westerners in art, medicine, architecture, navigation and so on. Some foreign netizens bluntly said that cooking is only a part of China's 5,111-year-old continuous civilization, which has been praised by foreign netizens.

There are also foreign netizens who analyze the diversity of Chinese food from China's vast territory and history, and finally come to a conclusion. Chinese food is widely available. Some foreigners say that China has a vast territory, a long history and such diverse regions. So many Chinese dialects are difficult, if not impossible, to understand. For thousands of years, these areas have been cooking with local materials, forming a regional style in cooking and ingredients. The modern world has opened up these areas, and export dishes from all over China are generally available.
