Creative background

When Chen Xiaoqing applied for a topic in Taili, he temporarily chose a name called "Firewood, Rice, Oil, Salt, Sauce and Vinegar Tea". After calling it "A Bite of China", the crew finally decided on the title "A Bite of China" after discussion.

Ren Changzhen was inspired by the gastronomy and field classification in "Slow Food Movement" to divide each episode of "A Bite of China". The most important concept was later presented as "taste in memory" in "A Bite of China", which is to eat and live at a slower pace. Food is the most primitive kind of food. The cleanest, simplest and most natural.

After the general framework was determined, the crew got a "Chinese Cooking Encyclopedia", which listed all the materials related to cooking. Ren Changzhen copied many of the books about "Sauce Salted Duck", "Condiments" and "Xiangxi The specific materials of "Bacon" later led the two directors of the third and fourth episodes to each buy a copy online to study the "inspiration of transformation" and "the taste of time" in it.
