The works of food culture are as follows:
1, Huangdi Neijing-a book about diet and health preservation
Huangdi Neijing is the first medical code in China. Medicine and food are of the same origin, and their diet and health preservation articles are also the guidelines of people's daily diet and life in past dynasties. This paper expounds the scientific viewpoint of diet structure. Huangdi Neijing said: "Five grains are the supplement, five vegetables are the supplement, five animals are the help, and five fruits are the benefit."
For thousands of years, people in China have followed this nutrition plan, giving priority to vegetarianism, supplemented by whole grains, and opposing partial eclipse, thus benefiting for a long time. At the same time, the book also puts forward the important viewpoint of "moderate diet", arguing that people should not overeat. Huangdi Neijing is a classic book on diet and health preservation in China.
2. Food Treasure Record-a masterpiece of ancient food culture.
The Record of Food Treasures was written by Yu Jing, a native of Yuyao in the Northern and Southern Dynasties. Yu Jing is a gourmet, and his official position is Huang Menlang. In the Southern Dynasties, he was promoted to the son of the Prince and later served as the minister of the ancestral temple. The Book of Foodstuffs is one of the special books on diet in ancient China. This book records the most precious cooking objects in the famous imperial houses of the Six Dynasties.
For example, "Emperor Yang Di used nine dishes to eat", "Xie Fei passed on Tang Bao's method", "John can make cherry gong (cherry eight-treasure rice) with the same color", "Jinling cold chews disturb Shili people" and so on. All these reflect the high achievements of China's ancient food culture.
3. The book of delicacies-records the delicacy and nobility of China's cooking.
Shi Ji is a satire on metabolism in Sui Dynasty, and it is one of the masterpieces in the history of China's food culture. The book records about 50 kinds of food in the Southern and Northern Dynasties and Sui Dynasty. There are pickles, soup, feed, cakes, cakes, rolls, roasted vegetables, noodles and cold food utensils, as well as dishes mainly made of animal raw materials, such as "flying twins", "free and unfettered chicken" and "cut cloud fish soup".
Judging from the names of some foods named after people, such as "Northern Qi Sheng Yang Zhen", "Yue Guo Gong Broken Golden Rice", "Jian Xing", "Wang Lao Yang" and "Gong Zang Xie" are all drinks of princes and nobles. However, some names are exquisite, such as "Thousands of dollars to grind sweet cake", "Dried sesame cake with pulp all over the sky" and "Cuoqiaozhuang altar cake", which reflects that drinking at that time has reached a very elegant and noble realm.
4, "Ben Xin Zhai Vegetable Recipe"-no dust smell
Ben Xin Zhai Vegetable Cookbook is the work of Chen Da in Song Dynasty, and it was named after its room named Ben Xin Zhai. Chen Dasu's diet is light and has no earthy smell. All 20 kinds of vegetables are marked with vegetable class names. Such as: vegetable soup, leek, yam, bamboo shoots, lotus root, mung bean vermicelli, water-induced butterfly noodles, water polo, white rice and so on. There is a praise behind each category, which is very simple, with sixteen words.
There are also "small quotes" to explain its compilation method or reveal its characteristics. For example, the "water polo" strip is made of "glutinous rice flour wrapped in sugar and fragrant soup bathed in it". Praise is: "Tuan Tuan powder, a little sugar cane paste, soaked in bath, sweet and fragrant." This narrative method shows the author's profound literary accomplishment, and because all praises are simple, similar to songs and easy to recite, it is easy to popularize.
