Like we are all very familiar with the Lu Cuisine, Sichuan Cuisine, Su Cuisine, Cantonese Cuisine, Fujian Cuisine, Zhejiang Cuisine, Hunan Cuisine, Hui Cuisine, the eight major cuisines, each of which represents a different local culinary culture, but also has different characteristics and tastes, by many people welcome, but also known by almost everyone, but we are going to talk about today's cuisine, it can be said to be the longest history of China's cuisine, and is also the first of the major Chinese cuisines! The first is that it is the source of all major Chinese cuisines, known as China's "mother of eight cuisines", and has been set up as a national feast, but unfortunately it is not listed in the eight cuisines, and not like other cuisines as well as people are familiar with, so people feel very strange, this is why it is?

Mention of this cuisine, in addition to living in the local people, today is not as well known as others such as Sichuan and Lu Cai, many people are very strange, but compared to all the other cuisines, this cuisine is the longest history of the cuisines, with a history of more than 3,600 years, originated in the period of the Shang Dynasty, at that time has been The five flavors of Chinese cooking and the fire, and these are still the invariable rules of our cooking techniques, and many other dishes are based on the evolution of this cuisine, it can be said that this cuisine is the origin of all the cuisines in our country today.

Therefore, this cuisine is known as China's "mother of the eight cuisines", in addition to these, this cuisine is very popular in ancient times, than the eight cuisines are also valued, was not only the first choice of the government food and court food, or the first choice of the folk dishes, compared to the other cuisines, the cuisine is more inclusive, no matter what is the first choice of the government food and court food, or the first choice of the folk dishes. Inclusive more strong, no matter what ingredients can be used to cook, but also more concerned about the cooking of the five flavors and harmony, and has been insisted on to this day, and there is no change, in addition, this cuisine is also extremely elaborate and exquisite, not inferior to any of the eight cuisines.

Cuisine, and other eight cuisines, Yu cuisine represents the food culture of Henan, Henan is the most important local cuisine, and the reason why Yu cuisine did not enter the eight cuisines, in fact, and the mediocrity of the Henan cuisine is inseparable, although the Henan cuisine and the eight cuisines compared to no less than a lot of familiar, such as eight treasures of the rice, the oil splashed carp and other well-known representative of the dishes, but the Yu cuisine does not have its characteristics and the difference, that is, we often say that Henan cuisine is not so popular and people know. Differences, that is, we often say that there is no characteristics, but it is because there is no characteristics, is one of the most important features of the Yu cuisine, do not pay attention to how complicated cooking, as well as how expensive ingredients, almost every one of them are particularly simple and grounded, so the Yu cuisine is more like the epitome of the other cuisines, the other cuisines in the representation of a lot of dishes in the Yu cuisine can be seen in almost all of the dishes.
