Man and Nature: An Eternal Theme
The balance between man and nature is the most primitive harmony and equality. The core point of Tip of the Tongue is that food should be a generous gift from nature, not a greedy demand and destruction in modern society. Humans should be grateful for such a wonderful gift, be in awe of nature, and feel guilty and sad about their destruction of nature.
Therefore, when shooting people who collect raw materials, the copywriter always deliberately mentions how the collectors respect the laws of nature to protect roots, hyphae, soil and young fish. The principle of "endless hunting" by fishermen in Zhagan Lake is to protect nature, which is very admirable. Then a captain surnamed Lin in Guangxi fought with a group of guys at sea for several days and nights, and the result was almost nothing, because the previous overfishing led to the depletion of resources. Perhaps this deliberate contrast is another kind of goodwill reminder! The seventh episode presents the diversity of food, regional differences and agriculture in China, and also tells many stories of China people adapting and transforming nature for food.
Driven by commercial interests, modern people are most likely to lack environmental awareness. People who are eager for quick success and self-righteousness often unconsciously gain short-term benefits at the expense of hurting nature. Nature will soon warn us in its own way how stupid such behavior is and need to pay a more painful price! Tip of the tongue advocates eco-friendly agricultural production methods, and advocates that the table returns to the earth and food returns to nature.
Hometown on the tip of the tongue-one side of water and soil and one side of people
A smell, a trace of nostalgia. Hometown, distant attachment and yearning. The tip of the tongue focuses on the representative cuisines with various regional characteristics. Different styles of food in different regions of this country represent different personalities and even personalities in different regions. Some people say that this is "hometown on the tip of the tongue", and everyone's hometown on the tip of the tongue adds up to China on the tip of the tongue, such as Yunnan with mushrooms, Sichuan with bacon and peas, Nanjing with dried silk, Xianghe with meat pies, and Hangzhou with Longjing shrimp ... It is said that some foreign students are in tears when they see this program. They can't understand the behavior and logic of shouting on Weibo that you can't eat this and that.
There is a story in the film: in Cicheng, Zhejiang, there are a pair of empty nesters. Their happiest moment is when their children and grandchildren come back from Ningbo to cook delicious rice cakes for them. The family sat together, eating rice cakes, chatting about home, and having fun. However, after a short reunion, the children and grandchildren drove away separately, leaving the old couple at home. In another episode, an old couple grows taro day after day, and their children have already left here to work in big cities and no longer deal with fields. Moreover, I also noticed that in every episode, I would mention the representative cuisines of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and every time I mentioned them, I felt very familiar and kind. Zongzi, rice cakes, winter bamboo shoots ... food that I didn't care about before turned out to be so precious and beautiful! Similarly, the film also depicts a group of old people in Hong Kong. They always get together, cook their best meals and tell stories about their youth. They help each other, warm each other and share the warmth and pain in life. Here, food has obviously become a bridge of spiritual communication between people. Yao Guiwen and Wang Cuihua, a simple couple who have bought tofu in Yunnan for 30 years, live a relaxed and hard life around tofu. The wife was naughty and said that her husband was lazy and stupid. The husband giggled and replied: She is fine. Such a life is enviable.
In fact, China people love their own culture, their own blood and their own land. Whether it is rice noodles or bean products, although the styles of the north and the south are very different and there are huge differences, they are consistent with the same tradition and the same roots. Whether farmers, fishermen, herders or mountain people, they are all as primitive, simple, hardworking and intelligent, not afraid of triviality and carefully polished. Every harvest is full of accumulated experience and running, every working procedure contains infinite wisdom and imagination, and every finished product carries simple and simple satisfaction and joy, as well as heartbreaking pains and no regrets.
