Cantonese cuisine has a long history. It shares the same **** of Chinese food culture as other regional diets and cuisines. The origin of Cantonese cuisine. Can be traced back to the early Han Dynasty more than two thousand years ago. In ancient times, before the arrival of immigrants from the Central Plains, the Lingnan Yue ancestors had a unique style of food, such as preferences for white snakes, fish and clams and raw food. With the historical changes and dynastic changes, many people from the Central Plains to escape from the war and the south, the Han-Yue ethnic groups are increasingly integrated. The southward movement of the Central Plains culture, the combination of the Central Plains food production techniques, cooking utensils, eating utensils and the rich produce of the Baiyue agriculture and fishery, this is the origin of the Cantonese style of food. It is by virtue of this history that Cantonese cuisine originated in Han.

Since the Qin and Han dynasties, Han Chinese from the central plains have been moving southward into Guangzhou. They not only brought advanced production technology and cultural knowledge, but also brought with them the Central Plains style of cuisine, which was "not too fine, not too refined". In the Tang and Song dynasties, a large number of merchants from all over the Central Plains entered Guangzhou, and Guangzhou's cooking skills were rapidly improved, and in the Ming and Qing dynasties, Guangzhou's food culture entered a peak. According to the relevant documents in the second year of Daoguang in Qing Dynasty (1822), "The meat forest and wine sea in Xiguan, Guangzhou, had no cold or heat, no day or night."

After the Southern Song Dynasty, the techniques and characteristics of Cantonese cuisine became more mature. This is related to the fact that the Song Dynasty moved southward and many imperial and official chefs gathered in Guangdong, especially concentrated in Yangcheng. Starting from the Tang Dynasty, Guangzhou became the main inbound and outbound trade port of China, and was a world-famous harbor. After the Song and Yuan Dynasties, Guangzhou became a port and harbor city where internal and external trade was concentrated, and commerce became increasingly prosperous, which led to the development of food service as a commercial industry, and provided a very important condition and place for the growth of Cantonese food, especially Cantonese cuisine.

The Ming and Qing dynasties were a period of real maturity and development for Cantonese cuisine, Cantonese desserts and Cantonese-style food. At this time, Guangzhou had already become a big commercial city, and Cantonese cuisine, Cantonese desserts and Cantonese-style food had really become a system. Downtown Tongheng is dotted with teahouses, hotels, restaurants and snack stores, each eatery competes with each other, the abundance of food, the style of the world, and gradually there is "food in Guangzhou" said.
