According to documents, food culture appeared in Xia, Shang and Zhou Dynasties, and it has been more than 2,800 years. It is one of the traditional cultures bred by China. In China, people invented many foods, but it is impossible to know the names of the inventors. These foods include caramel, lobster sauce, soy sauce, koji, tofu, vermicelli, preserved eggs and so on. China's lady noodles are the earliest instant noodles in the world, and China's zongzi is the earliest soft canned food in the world.

Xia knows how to grow rice. Du Kang, who made wine, was the fifth monarch of Xia Dynasty. In the Xia Dynasty, Yu Shi was a chef, specializing in cooking.

In Shang dynasty, there were five grains, five animals, barbecue and wine making, and bronzes were used for cooking, such as frying, frying and frying. People in Shang Dynasty liked to drink, and the wine vessels made at that time were very exquisite. Shang Zhouwang built a meat forest in the wine pool and attached importance to material enjoyment, indicating that the diet level at that time had reached a considerable height.

In the Zhou Dynasty, the food culture was even more dazzling. The records of diet in The Book of Songs, Zhou Li and Li Ji are reliable and informative. At that time, the food culture had a high scale. The "eight treasures" of the Zhou Dynasty are typical representatives of imperial cuisine. The so-called eight treasures are: spring jujube, Chun Mu, cannon dolphin, cannon group, Daozhen, mottle, boils and liver fat.

Chinese food eaten by foreigners is not the same as Chinese food eaten by China people.

For example, left-handed chicken, chop suey, chicken balls, egg rolls and fortune cookie are some of the most commonly eaten Chinese dishes in the United States, but 95% of China people may be confused when they see the names of these dishes, let alone eat them, and they may never have heard of them.

The reason why this happens is that these dishes are all improved dishes, which are original for American tastes.

For example, the left Tang Zong chicken, which is very popular in the United States, is originally salty and spicy, but Americans like to eat sweet, salty and spicy, and are not used to it. Therefore, in order to adapt to the American market, chef China poured it with a sweet sauce. This small change suddenly made Americans fall in love with this kind of food, so that there is a saying in the American Chinese food industry: "The most famous China people in the world are actually left, because everyone points left every day.
