Guangdong special food culture

As one of the eight major cuisines in China, Cantonese cuisine is famous for its wide selection of ingredients. Birds and beasts, delicacies, wild vegetables and flowers are all forbidden in Cantonese cuisine. Snakes, rats, birds, insects, dogs and cats are jaw-dropping ingredients in other cuisines, but they are regarded as table treasures. For example, mainlanders dare not eat snakes. For example, there is an ancient idiom called "snake shadow reflects the mirror", and some people even mistakenly think that snake shadow will scare people out of illness, let alone eat it. In Cantonese cuisine, snakes are the best choice. Cantonese people have a long history of eating snakes, but they are the best choice in Cantonese cuisine. There is a song about eating snakes in Biography of Foreign Bodies in South Vietnam: "Snakes are long and long, and they are a guest banquet." Today, there are nearly 50 kinds of snake gall in Guangdong, and there are many restaurants with snakes as their basic dishes. Many foreigners and foreigners come to Guangdong to enjoy tasting snake gizzards.

In fact, the omnivorous character of Cantonese people is also a manifestation of open-minded diet. As the saying goes, one side of the soil and water support one side of the people, and different geographical environments have created different regional personalities. Guangdong is the only place for cultural exchanges between China and foreign countries, forming an open thinking structure of Cantonese people. At the same time, because it is located in the frontier, the control of successive dynasties is weaker than that of the mainland, and it is less influenced by orthodox feudal thoughts. The influence of the traditional culture of the Central Plains on it is weakening, which leads to greater freedom and tolerance.

Learn from others' strengths and be practical and willing to work.

Cantonese cuisine was formed in Qin and Han Dynasties. Based on the local food culture, it absorbs the essence of Beijing, Shandong, Jiangsu and Sichuan cuisines and the cooking techniques of western food. For example, the soaking, roasting and Sichuan cuisine in Cantonese cuisine are all transplanted from the explosion, roasting and frying in the north, and other methods are borrowed from western food, gradually forming a unique southern flavor.

All similar cultures can explore this relationship from historical contact. In the comparison of the same things in the two places, the greater the qualitative similarity, the more obvious the mutual spread. The openness of Guangdong culture is bound to be all-inclusive, which makes the food culture all-inclusive, and unconsciously promotes the development of food customs.

While learning from others, Guangdong food customs can gradually abandon some bad habits in foreign food and form a non-luxurious and practical style. Cantonese people pay attention to a small but refined diet. Even if they entertain guests, they will never be extravagant. They take the principle of eating well and eating well, which is in sharp contrast with some places in the north. The extravagance and waste of northerners is due to the formality of etiquette, although it has its generous and lovely side, but it should be noted that the red tape in diet is unacceptable in modern society. Of course, this does not mean that Cantonese people don't pay attention to manners. On the contrary, Cantonese people pay great attention to politeness when they treat guests, so that guests can come on impulse and have a good time. That kind of extravagance and waste that is divorced from reality is unwilling to be done by pragmatic Cantonese people.

The pragmatic spirit of Guangdong people's current diet is the inevitable result of the development of modern society. Cantonese people live up to their reputation and pay attention to reality. The realistic spirit in Confucian culture has little influence on Guangdong. On the contrary, they are influenced by the realistic attitude of westerners. This influence has formed that Cantonese people can learn from each other's strong points in diet, but at the same time keep a pragmatic attitude.

Elaborate production, pursuit of enjoyment

The production of a delicious dish depends on the orderly cooperation of all links. Cantonese cuisine has very strict requirements in ingredients, knives, cooking time, cooking time, cooking, wrapping, utensils, serving methods and many other aspects. If you cook fish, you should kill it before cooking it, so as to keep the fish delicious; Another example is its platter making, so we must pay attention to the choice of ingredients in order to achieve the effect of beautiful shape and rich taste. A good platter is not only a dish of delicacies, but also a work of art, which is pleasing to the eye and appetizing.

Nothing is more famous than chicken gizzards in Cantonese cuisine. There are hundreds of kinds of chicken dishes, which allow guests to taste dozens of kinds of chicken dishes without repeating them. Almost every famous restaurant has its own signature chicken, such as Wenchang chicken in Guangzhou restaurant, carved chicken in Beiyuan restaurant, bamboo queen chicken in Foshan, white-cut chicken in Qingyuan and so on. Such as white-cut chicken, you must choose a hen or a capon, and Qingyuan Sanhuang chicken is the best. The most important thing in the production is the heat, which is suitable for people who have just cooked and cut it. If they are overcooked, the meat will get old and the characteristics of the boiled chicken will be lost.

The delicacy of food preparation is inseparable from the Cantonese cuisine culture which emphasizes personal value and pursues enjoyment. Pleasure is not a one-sided pursuit of eating, drinking and having fun. It belongs to a moral category and corresponds to asceticism. Abstinence rejects worldly wealth and enjoyment, and suppresses desire to achieve some social goal or moral self-improvement. From the perspective of moral types, Guangdong culture does not belong to asceticism, but shows a hedonistic tendency, full of secular enjoyment of human nature and emotional appeal, manifested in the pursuit of comfort, happiness and a better life, with the aim of working hard and enjoying it to the fullest. The word "enjoyment" has always been given a derogatory meaning in China culture, and it is always associated with getting something for nothing. It is considered that enjoyment is a bourgeois way of life, and it seems that only the bourgeoisie is entitled to enjoy it. In fact, enjoyment is a very advanced lifestyle of human beings and an inevitable cultural choice for the development of human civilization to a certain extent.

Since the reform and opening up, Guangdong's dietary customs have developed to a higher level, which has had a strong impact on traditional values, and the traditional Confucian concepts of "a gentleman eats when he is poor" and "contentment is always happy" have been seriously challenged. Confucianism regards integrity as the only criterion to measure personality, and guarding poverty as a symbol of upholding integrity. The essence of this idea is to limit human beings to the lowest living standard. In the tide of reform, Guangdong people realized that it is desirable not to be extravagant, but they can't judge their behavior by poverty, which enables them to open their hearts and bravely pursue the continuous improvement of their living standards.

Dietary custom is an important cultural phenomenon. Food not only contains organic substances that can sustain human life, but also needs to be labeled with cultural consent for each food and its consumption mode. Similarly, Guangdong people's choice of diet is also the result of the long-term subtle influence of their culture. The reform and innovation of food can be ever-changing, but it must be based on culture in order to be accepted and liked by people.
