What's the difference between Japanese lunch boxes and China lunch boxes?

China's dinner is full of color and flavor, and the lunch box is an important color background. Can't it be perfect? So that when the culture looks at Japan, these three views will be completely new. We can't eat well, it must be because the lunch box is too ugly!

Speaking of lunch boxes, I have to mention the national treasure of Japanese bento world: chestnut lunch boxes. This store was founded in the Edo period, and Li is the sixth generation descendant. The raw material is only Abies akita, which has been used for more than 200 years. Made of lunch boxes, it is cool in summer and warm in winter. It is no secret that Japanese craftsmen like to study it. The production process of plum was changed, and the method of rounding the sharp corners at the bottom was created, thus accelerating the drying speed and prolonging the service life. The lunch box was polished by hand all the way, and the food was accompanied by a faint taste of Akita fir.

There is such a craftsman who concentrates on making lunch boxes. No wonder Japanese bento culture is so developed. If you want to do good things, you must first improve your tools. How can such a good instrument afford a craftsman without spending a lot of money? Looking back at our lunch box, the first thing that comes to mind is that the grandmother next door took a one-thousandth incubator to cook for her grandson.

In this era of high-speed operation, it is good to talk about what is good. Therefore, if you want to show off your lunch box, you can only find your ancestors. The lunch box was originally called a rafter, which was recorded in the Three Kingdoms. Cao Cao gave a chicken wing wood box. When he opened it, he found it was empty and committed suicide. Later generations explained that the sound of "evil" was the same as that of "poison". In addition to food, ancient boxes are also an important pillar of identity. The materials and handicrafts are very special, and outsiders will judge the owner's family status and wealth from the box. The food box can be divided into fresh-keeping box, fresh-keeping box and suitcase. The etiquette of suitcase is not only practical, but also the emperor must give the box and the gift box together. The longan gift is also used to carry the box. In the Ming dynasty, this kind of box became more popular, and it contained melon seeds and fruit snacks. The box is usually in the middle and divided into several compartments around it. In the middle and late Qing Dynasty, boxes became more exquisite and luxurious. The most famous is the ivory carving box, which has been kept in the National Palace Museum in Taipei.

Nowadays, food boxes have been out of China people's lives. Most of them are quietly in museums, telling people about the prosperity of the past. In the era of take-away monopoly, what we lose is not only a part of culture, but also the focus of life. If you have time to buy your favorite lunch, you won't forget three meals a day. Life is not easy. Don't owe yourself.
