Synopsis

Chinese cuisine is world-renowned. In addition to its rich and colorful cuisines, it also has a broad and profound food culture. The sages of the past dynasties recorded various cultures, perceptions, cooking methods, etc. About food in articles of various genres. These articles started from the pre-Qin Dynasty and went down to the Ming and Qing Dynasties, leaving precious spiritual wealth for future generations. Among them, the Tang, Song, Ming, and Qing dynasties had the most abundant records and the most detailed content. The "Taste of History" series of books selects the most representative poems, songs, prose, novels, and literati's notes about food in these four dynasties, explains and annotates them, and pairs them with famous ancient paintings related to the content.

Reader comments

I especially like the interpretation of the food culture of the four dynasties of Tang, Song, Ming and Qing dynasties in the book, which gave me a deeper understanding of Chinese food. Moreover, the annotations and explanations in the book are very easy to understand, so even people who don't know much about history can easily read it. Among them, my favorite character is Su Shi. He is not only a literary master, but also an out-and-out gourmet! I think this book is very suitable for friends who like history and food. Come and "explore" it together!
