Exploring Chengdu and talking about authentic culture

Deconstructing all aspects of life from food
In "Daily Food", Liu Yiwei said: "It is not eating because of beauty, but beauty because of food." This sentence expresses the profound relationship between food, beauty and culture. Each food has its own unique preparation methods and cooking techniques, which contain rich historical and cultural information. The cultural backgrounds of different regions have shaped their own unique food flavors. For example, the spicy characteristics of Sichuan cuisine in China are the product of the humid climate and unique geographical environment of Sichuan. The food production process also incorporates rich cultural connotations. For example, Chinese dumplings are not only a kind of food, but also a symbol of culture. The shape of the dumpling symbolizes the ingot, implying wealth and good luck, while the process of making dumplings is a symbol of family reunion and harmony. During the Spring Festival, every household will sit together and make dumplings, which is a traditional Chinese custom during the New Year.

If you are looking for the answer to life, then "Daily Food" will be a choice you cannot miss. Every Wednesday at 18:00, let us taste the details of life while exploring food. (Liu Siqiu)
