A Case Study on the Loss of Traditional Cuisine in China

Those food stalls that once made me linger, those alleys that used to be crowded with classic snacks. It's getting less and less now. And now many snacks are very repetitive, often the same. It's just a snack that is relatively simple to operate. And now there are many classic snacks on the verge of extinction.

What are the reasons for the loss of these famous snacks?

The first point is that no one inherits, no one inherits. The practice of famous snacks like this is only in the hands of very few people. And now many people are looking for opportunities and ways to start a business, of course, catering is also included. Therefore, many people who have mastered the snack practices are reluctant to pass these practices on to others because it will lead to competition. In addition, the practice of some snacks is very complicated, so many producers feel that their efforts and benefits are not proportional. Slowly, they will also give up the production and inheritance of these snacks.

The second point is that there are few consumers. Like many famous snacks now, they often only exist in alleys or some old streets. Why don't they want to move these snack bars to busy cities and metropolises? Many people have tried to spread these famous snacks all over the country, but they often ended in failure. Because every place has different tastes, these snacks are not suitable for all parts of the country. And many people think these snacks are too simple. So I mean these snacks are unsanitary. So we can see that in these alleys. The customers of the food stalls they run are often those people. Because they have too few consumers, they have little profit. This is also the reason why many people don't want to spend their time making snacks. In fact, as we all know, with the passage of time, many traditional cultures in China, whether art or catering, have disappeared in the long river of history. They all read the unique thoughts, cultures and historical monuments of the ancients. We should all inherit and carry forward them.
