Guangdong is located in the Lingnan region. Although it is rich in products, it was once a sparsely populated barbarian land. During the period of large-scale population migration southward caused by the wars in the Central Plains, the food cultures of various parties continued to merge in Lingnan, and finally the Cantonese cuisine system formed the characteristic of "everyone can eat with the back turned to the sky". Cantonese cuisine is broad and profound, with almost no taboos.
