Basic display of Dongguan Museum of Dietary Customs
Dongguan Cuisine and Customs Museum lets the audience know the historical origin of Dongguan's food culture through three ways: picture display, physical display and scene restoration, and tells the customs of the people in Dongguan's water towns from the Qing Dynasty to the Republic of China. The whole exhibition area is 923 square meters.

Dongguan (fishing, agriculture, firewood) landscape: The exhibition hall skillfully uses the space design to move the exhibition content into the scene design without trace. Making the life and farming scene of Dongguan water town exquisite and realistic will evoke the bitter memories of modern people's childhood. The exhibition hall systematically introduces various cultural relics such as iron plow, iron rake, bamboo fence, basket, shoulder pole, old sprinkling bucket, old waterwheel, old grain bucket, rake and fishing net. It reflects the strong contrast between old manual operation and modern mechanization in agricultural production in Dongguan.

"Snack making exhibition and (sugar and oil) exhibition": the content is more colorful, and it is a gathering of snack culture in the Pearl River Delta. Some models about eating in season are specially made, which are the favorite corners for customers, including Dongtuan, Marco, Salted Soup Pill, Salted Fish Dragon, Sugar Ring, oil angle, Ludui, Liangbushuai, White Sugar Cake and Bowl Cake. These famous traditional snacks are not only delicious, but also exhibit a large number of cultural relics made by Dongguan people, such as small edible cake, bamboo board, bamboo sieve, ant-killing lip jar, old hand basket, old rice bowl, old dish-washing basin and so on. The appearance of food stamps and meat stamps further shows that the history of Dongguan food culture is well-founded, and Dongguan people are rich in traditional pragmatic spirit.

(Bowl, chopsticks, cymbals) Exhibition: There are many exhibits, including flower bowls, chicken bowls, Kwai Kou double-system blue glaze bottles, double-phoenix bottles, ancient opera soup cups, ginseng cups, blue glaze bottles, colored jars, Ming and Qing series, bean green series, and chopsticks tubes in various periods, all of which are early. It can be seen that the ancestors never regarded diet as a demand for food alone, but also included it in the category of culture and art. It is reported that there are Chinese restaurants in places where there are Chinese in the world today, which shows that China's diet culture has great influence and can be called a bright pearl in China's cultural treasure house. China is a country of etiquette and has always attached importance to customs. Lou Jian once said in Song Dynasty: "The vitality of a country lies in customs; The root of custom is discipline. Zheng Xiao in the Ming Dynasty said: "The so-called custom of husband's life is applied to the imperial court, spread all over the world, and penetrated into people's hearts, which is related to destiny, so we should not be absent-minded. "After thousands of years of evolution, China's dietary customs have played an inestimable role in people's lives. These tableware are the witness of history.
