First of all, the influence of China traditional culture on China cuisine is reflected in the inheritance and innovation of cooking skills. In thousands of years' history, China people have been exploring and improving their cooking methods through the ideas and aesthetic concepts in traditional culture.

For example, China people advocate the concept of harmony between man and nature, uphold the cooking principle of "harmony of five flavors" and pursue a balanced, coordinated and harmonious taste experience. The influence of this traditional culture makes China cuisine unique. Whether it's spicy and delicious hot pot or light and delicious Cantonese food, it reflects the unique influence of China traditional culture on cooking.

Secondly, the traditional culture of China has a profound influence on the choice and collocation of ingredients. In traditional culture, the concept of "eating at four o'clock and pursuing balance" makes China people pay attention to the choice of fruits and vegetables in their eating habits and match them according to seasonal changes.

for example, fresh vegetables and bean sprouts are the main products in spring, cool melons and fruits are the main products in summer, rich grains and fruits are the main products in autumn, and nourishing meat and seafood are the main products in winter. This diet concept based on seasonal changes not only makes people enjoy the freshness and nutrition of seasonal ingredients, but also conforms to the respect of China traditional culture for nature and human health.
