What are the characteristics of Cantonese cuisine, one of the eight famous dishes in China?
Features of Cantonese cuisine: The ancient Cantonese cuisine can be traced back to the Qin Dynasty. In the Southern Song Dynasty, Cantonese cuisine developed rapidly because the imperial chef went to Yangcheng. After the Opium War, Guangzhou, as one of the first foreign trading ports, had frequent foreign exchanges, and Cantonese cuisine absorbed some specialties of western food.

At the same time, Cantonese cuisine itself has gone abroad. Now, there are thousands of Cantonese restaurants in new york alone. With its unique charm of freedom, strangeness, complexity and lightness, Cantonese cuisine has become a famous Chinese delicacy at home and abroad. Geographically speaking, Cantonese cuisine is gradually formed as the representative of Guangzhou, Chaozhou and Dongjiang. In a broad sense, Cantonese cuisine also includes Guangxi, Hainan and Taiwan Province.
