Chinese Foods
Chinese culture considers cooking an art and consider the preparation of
food a craft. This art of Chinese cooking has been developed and refined over
many centuries. To the Chinese, food and friends are inseparable. A gathering
without food is considered incomplete and improper.
Confucius loved and respected the art of cooking. He established culinary
standards and proper table etiquette. Most of these are still considered to be
the standards of today. The tradition of cutting foods into bite size pieces
during preparation and not at the table is unique to the Chinese culture.
Good cooking depends on the blending of various ingredients and condiments
rather than the taste of the individual elements. In order to become a good cook
one must first be a good matchmaker. The flavors of The ingredients must be
blended with harmony. Without this harmony there is no taste.
Taoism was responsible for the development of the hygienic aspects of foods and
cooking. The principle objects of this philosophy were the nourishment of the
body and the search for longevity. In contrast to Confucians who were interested
in the taste, texture and appearance, Taoists were concerned with the
life-giving attributes of various foods.
Over the centuries the Chinese have explored the world of plants, roots, herbs,
fungus and seeds to find life-giving elements. They discovered the nutritional
value of vegetables could be destroyed by improper cooking and that many items
had medicinal value. For example, ginger, a favorite condiment, is also used to
soothe an upset stomach and as a cold remedy.
