Chinese cuisine is one of the most renowned in the world, and probably the one with the greatest variations. She replied traditionally into four families:

Dongbei cuisine is characterized by the omnipresence of corn, the climate is unsuitable for growing rice. Many dishes are preserved by salting because of harsh winters and relatively short harvest time.

Shanghai cuisine is characterized by its particular use of alcohol and sugar in food preparation. Sugar is used with equal amount of soy sauce, without his presence necessary to make out with a "sweet".

Sichuan cuisine emphasizes frying and steaming, and vegetables preserved in brine. The Sichuan pepper is ubiquitous in the kitchen.

Cantonese cuisine, which is often considered the best of China or even Asia. A popular saying reminds us: "The Cantonese eat anything that flies in the sky, and all what works on earth. "Indeed, almost all of the animal kingdom has its place in the Cantonese cuisine: insects, mice, snakes, monkeys and others are accommodated to infinity.

Chinese cuisine is both linked to the company, philosophy and medicine. It distinguishes cai, cooked vegetables and by extension all that goes with the grain, the fan. Food yin, feminine, soft and wet so refreshing and vegetables are fruits. Food yang, masculine, fried, spicy or meat products have a warming effect. A meal should not only bring the tastes, but also strike a balance between cold and warm. To compliment a dish, it says it "helps to get the rice." Another thing that characterizes the traditional Chinese cuisine is the lack of dairy products because of lactose intolerance that exists in many Asian countries.

The Chinese share dishes. These are often shared. The Chinese eat with chopsticks or wooden spoons Chinese, sometimes in porcelain. The table is characterized by its social aspect. It is round and sometimes topped with a turntable where the dishes are stored. No knife is present at the table. All foods are cut in the kitchen, except seafood, which are both served in shell.

Chinese cuisine Chinese tea

Tea was born in China and is deeply related to Chinese culture. According to Chinese legend, the use of tea as a beverage would have appeared in the year 2737 BC, when leaves were detached from a tree to fall into the hot water that Emperor Shen Nung was boiled for drinking. The latter would have enjoyed the beverage whose consumption is widespread.

More verifiable, tea would have appeared in China under the Han Dynasty of the West (-206 BC. - 24): tea containers from this period have been discovered. Initially, it is used to scent the water is boiled before drinking it to clean it up. It is readily appreciated for its therapeutic properties, such as relieving fatigue, reviving and strengthening the will of sight. It becomes a daily beverage in China during the Han Dynasty Eastern (25 - 220) and at the time of the Three Kingdoms (220-280).

tea leaves are then crushed and the resulting powder compacted into bricks, more easily transportable. We sometimes mix the tea with a liquid, like blood, to get stronger bricks.

To prepare the tea, they crumbled bricks, then roast the powder was obtained for hygienic reasons (the bricks were often infested with worms and insects) and also to give the tea a pleasant taste. The powder was then boiled with crumbs with salt, and sometimes ginger, onion, etc.. This produces a mixture thick, full-bodied flavor, served in a large bowl that was passed from hand to hand.

The tea bricks were also used in Chinese currency, to the point that they were under a state monopoly. They allowed them to obtain such horses with the peoples "barbarians" of the North. Thus, tea was introduced to Mongolia, where today he is always prepared boiled, salted, supplemented with yak milk or cow.

Under the Northern Song Dynasty (960-1279) were prepared tea beaten. The leaves were crushed in a grinder to obtain a very fine powder, which is then whipped in hot water for a substantial foam. This tea was also served in a large bowl shared by several diners.

It was served in small individual cups for in exhale the smell and taste. The new dishes, teapots, kettles, saucers, cups quickly became subject of a refined craftsmanship flights to rich collectors.

teas are now distinguished according to their regions of origin, the appearance of leaves, their color. The processing also became an object of attention because tea leaves could be rolled into balls, "needles", cleverly folded and interconnected to form flowers, dragon heads, etc..

Tea, like coffee, was introduced to Europe by the Dutch in 1606 in the form of "black tea".

Many legends are associated with tea, one of them tells a disciple of Buddha, during one of his long meditation, asleep and then made voluptuous dreams. In his "awakening", he wanted it so he cut off his eyelids and never sleep. And where his eyelids had fallen drove the first tea plants. Therefore, all Buddhist monks drank tea to prevent numbness during meditation ...

In Buddhism the lotus flower is symbolic of Buddha. In China, there are many, many paintings, sculptures and performances the lotus flower.

This image, connoting lightness of the flower rising above the water surface resembles that of Buddha so light that it rests on a cat off the ground.

The symbolism of the lotus in Buddhism is still the fact that the seed and flower appear together, it is the simultaneity of cause (the seed) and effect (the flower) in the law of causality of the universe that is a major concept of Buddhist philosophy.
