When the festival comes, learning the country's upper echelons of government officials to eat a meal, that is, the dominant trend of each dynasty, but also to show their own valuable a way, of course, is the reality of life is forced. The so-called "human life is greater than heaven", specific life is "people to food for heaven".

At present, the business hype holiday diet consumption, hype holiday food, one is the commercial behavior to chase the maximization, but also shows that the way is weakening, the need for merchants to make a big hype, otherwise the market is not invigorated. This should be said to the traditional festivals in food culture and a spontaneous resistance and rebellion.
