Why Chinese respect their food that much?

Cooking is a very important part of living in China. It is even connected with its philosophy and medicine. In China, the art of cooking is even equalized with the theatre, music or even literature.

Chinese people believe that eating is not just a need, but also a satisfaction which brings health and harmony, peace of mind and long life!

Chinese cuisine is one of the oldest in the world too – therefore, one of the most popular. It dates a thousand of years ago, by the time of first emperors.

What could be found on a plate was then considered to be influential on the health and well-being, the clearness of the mind, and the harmony of the spirit of every individual. This has continued to this day.

For the Chinese, food is not just a daily ritual but is associated with every pleasant moment of life. They go so far that they consider a nation that cannot distinguish tastes, cannot cook or have their own kitchen to be one that has no culture at all.

According to them, civilization is strictly related to food!
