Chinese society greatly valued gastronomy and developed an e!tensive study of the sub+ectbased on its traditional medical beliefs. Chinese culture initially centered around the $orth China>lain. The first domesticated crops seem to have been the fo!tail andbroomcorn varietiesof millet, while rice was cultivated in the south. ?y 0=== ?C, wheat had arrived from western Asia. owever, these grains were typically served as warm noodle soups instead of baked intobread as in #urope. $obles hunted various wild game and consumed mutton, pork, dog, andbeef as these animals were domesticated. @rain was stored against famine and flood and meatwas preserved with salt, vinegar, curing, and fermenting. The flavor of the meat was enhancedby cooking it in the fat of a different animal.(citation needed *

?y the time of Confucius in the late /hou, gastronomy was becoming a high art. e wasrecorded discussing one such picky eater 'For him, the rice could never be white enough. Whenit was not cooked right, he would not eat. When it was out of season, he would not eat. When themeat was not cut properly, he would not eat. When the food was not prepared with the rightsauce, he would not eat.'(citation needed * 7uring hi uangdiBsin dynasty, the empire e!panded into

the south. ?y the time of the an 7ynasty, the different climes and cuisines of ChinaBs peopleswere linked by ma+or canals and begun developing greater comple!ity. $ot only is food seen asgiving 'i', energy, but food is also about maintaining yin and yang. (3* The philosophy behind itwas rooted in the ! Ching and Chinese traditional medicine food was +udged for color, aroma,taste, and te!ture and a good meal was e!pected to balance the Four $atures DBhotB, warm, cool,and BcoldBE and the Five Tastes Dpungent, sweet, sour, bitter, and saltyE. alt was used as apreservative from early times, but in cooking was added in the form of soy sauce, and not at thetable.(4* The predominance of chopsticks and spoons as eating utensils also necessitated thatmost food be prepared in bite"sied pieces or Das with fishE be so tender that it could be easilypicked apart.

?y the 8ater an period D0nd centuryE, writers (ho#* freuently complained of lay aristocrats whodid nothing but sit around all day eating smoked meats and roasts.

7uring the an dynasty, Chinese developed methods of food preservation for military rationsduring campaigns such as drying meat into +erky and cooking, roasting, and drying grain.(6* Chinese legends claim that the roasted flatbread haobing Dshao"pingE was brought back fromthe Giyu Dthe Western 1egions, known as Central AsiaE by the an dynasty @eneral ?an Chao, and that it was originally known as ubing胡餅 Dbarbarian pastryE. The shao"ping is believed tobe descended from the u"ping DubingE.(:*haobing is believed to be related to the >ersian andCentral Asian $an bread and the near eastern pita bread. (;*(

The great migration of Chinese people south during the invasions preceding and during the ongdynasty increased the relative importance of southern Chinese staples such as rice and congee.The Iuan and ing dynasties introduced 9ongolian and 9anchu cuisine, warm northern disheswhich popularied hot pot cooking. 7uring the Iuan dynasty many 9uslim communities emergedin China, who practiced a porkless cuisine now preserved by ui restaurants throughout thecountry.(citation needed * Iunnan cuisine is uniue in China for its cheeses like 1ubing and 1ushancheese made by the ?ai people, and its yogurt, the yogurt may have been due to a combinationof 9ongolian influence during the Iuan dynasty, the Central Asian settlement in Iunnan, and thepro!imity and influence of %ndia and Tibet on Iunnan.

As part of the last leg of the Columbian #!change, panish and >ortuguese traders beganintroducing foods from the $ew World to China through the port cities of Canton and9acao.9e!ican chili peppers became essential ingredients in ichuan cuisine and calorically"dense

potatoes and corn became staple foods across the northern plains.

7uring the ing 7ynasty, Chinese gastronomes such as Iuan 9ei focused upon a primary goalof e!tracting the ma!imum flavor of each ingredient. owever, as noted in his culinary workthe Suiyuan shidan, the fashions of cuisine at the time were uite varied and in some cases wereflamboyantly ostentatious,();* especially when the disply served also a formal ceremonial purpose,as in the case of the 9anchu an %mperial Feast.()eopleBs 1epublic of China, amid numerous false starts, has largely industrialied foodproduction. A side effect of this process was the introduction of American poultry"rearingtechniues, which has greatly increased the relative consumption of eggs and chicken in variousChinese cuisines.(citation needed *
