Civilization of Chinese food

Tweet

It is not easy to brief the civilization of Chinese food in a short message,it is because,there are more than 56 folks inside the Mainland China,and the large area causes difference dining habits among the difference districts.First of all,we need to know that,the old China was developed a faming society,and most of the dining habits and meals culture are based on this factor. I just wanna talk about the dining tools and habits in general.Not same to the people living in western area,Chinese used to have their dinner together with all the family members,sitting aroud a table and each person will have one set of dining tool in front of them,including two bowls which one for rice and another for soup,one pairs of chopsticks and one plate for meat/vegetables.They will share the food dishes which were made and put into the central of the table,diners will only pick up the food from the dished which who want to eat.He will pick it and place it into the small plate in front of him.There are two special habits,one is,Chinese diners never pick up rice from the bowl but will handle the bowl towards their lips then poke the rice into their mouths by the chopsticks.The other one is,Chinese always have soup during or after dinner. If you know more about the civilization of Chinese food,pls add it.Or you also can tell us the cibilization about your country.Thanks!
