China on the Tip of the Tongue tells many people and stories related to food in a restrained and warm tone, which is about the inheritance of China from generation to generation, the flavor of hometown and the warmth of family.

In the past, most of the video materials showing China cuisine were sorted out by chefs or famous food experts, cuisines and regional characteristics, showing exquisite cooking skills and complicated cooking process, and most of the TV programs that could be seen appeared in the form of "confrontation". China on the Tip of the Tongue abandons the empty introduction of "delicious" and "too delicious", and shows more pictures of how workers hunt, dig, process and make the ingredients given by nature. Some netizens admire that "the lens focuses not on the cooking skills of top chefs, presenters and beautiful women in vases in the studio, but on the dishes from the materials, through planting, harvesting and processing, from an ordinary family kitchen, bearing the ancestors' civilization and the philosophy of harmony between man and nature. There is humanistic care, and a simple and cherished attitude runs through it. This kind of warmth is lacking in most documentaries that cite data, fiddle with words and show off history. "

China on the Tip of the Tongue is different from previous food documentaries in that it feels the rituals brought by food to China people's lives through many aspects of Chinese food.
