Baby cabbage, broccoli and meatballs are placed in a pot while a shop staff member asks how spicy you'd like the dish. Though in a setting resembling a restaurant, these "ingredients" are actually plush toys designed by the Gansu Provincial Museum.在一家模拟餐厅环境的区域内,店员一边往锅里添加娃娃菜、西兰花及肉丸子,一边询问你想要多辣的口味。实际上,这些“食材”是甘肃省博物馆设计的毛绒玩具。The museum introduced a series of food-inspired plush toys influenced by the growing popularity of local spicy hot pots. These lively representations of spicy hot pot ingredients have become a hit among visitors.随着甘肃麻辣烫的火爆,该博物馆以此为灵感推出了生动形象的“麻辣烫系列”毛绒玩具,受到了游客热捧。China's rich culinary heritage continues to inspire creative cultural products. With various expressions on their fluffy faces, plush toys based on local food traditions have gained nationwide popularity recently. People traveling to different regions not only indulge in local cuisines but also seek out plush toys representing these specialties.中国丰富的饮食文化遗产为文创产品提供了不竭的灵感源泉。最近,以地方美食为原型、表情丰富各异的毛绒玩具火遍全国。游客们来到不同地区,不仅会品尝当地美食,还会寻找融入美食元素的毛绒玩具。A cultural product shop in Shaanxi province has introduced a plush version of the Chinese hamburger, or roujiamo, with meat sandwiched in a steamed bun. When a consumer purchases the toy, the packaging process mimics the real-life assembly of the burger—from selecting the bun and pouring sauce to adding the meat.陕西一家文创店推出了“中国汉堡”肉夹馍毛绒玩具,其造型为一片肉夹在馒头里。顾客在购买时可以像制作真正的肉夹馍一样,体验选馍、浇汁、夹肉等工序,最后打包带走。Videos of the packaging process for these food toys have garnered millions of views online, with comments like "so cute" and "full of emotional value". Some people even described the toy-purchasing experience as an adult version of playing house.这些食物玩具的包装过程视频在网上获得了数百万次观看,评论区满是“太可爱了”和“充满情绪价值”之语。有些人甚至将购买玩具的体验称为成年人的“过家家”。"The short interaction could immerse buyers in the experience. We are not just selling products, we are also selling culture and creating connections," Zhang Bo, co-founder of the Da Xiang Culture and Tech Company, the company behind the burger toy, was quoted by Guangming Daily newspaper as saying.据《光明日报》报道,推出肉夹馍玩具的大相文化科技公司联合创始人张博表示:“小小的互动过程,让购买者沉浸式体验。我们售卖的不仅是产品,更是文化与交流。”In Suzhou, Jiangsu province, consumers have lined up to buy plush toys inspired by the region's famous hairy crabs. Similarly, Changsha in Hunan province offers plush toys shaped like its iconic stinky tofu, while Tianjin has plush toys of Chinese crepes or jianbing.在江苏苏州,为了抢购以当地著名大闸蟹为原型的毛绒玩具,消费者们排起了长龙。同样,湖南长沙也推出了以标志性美食“臭豆腐”为灵感的毛绒玩具,而天津市则推出了煎饼果子毛绒玩具。Just as foodies have their own cuisine guide, toy fans are mapping out food toys across China on social media. Some even asked local gift shops to create plush toys of their favorite local dishes.就像美食爱好者有他们的美食地图一样,玩具爱好者也在社交媒体上绘制了中国的食物玩具地图。有些人甚至要求当地的礼品店创作出以他们最爱的当地菜肴为原型的毛绒玩具。This growing trend aligns with the emerging "cute economy", which is especially popular among younger generations. A trending hashtag online reads, "Chinese have our own Jellycat," referring to the famous British toy brand known for its wide range of food-based plush toys.这一增长趋势与新兴的“可爱经济”不谋而合,尤其受到年轻一代的欢迎。网络上有热门话题写道:“中国人有自己的Jellycat(一个以制作美食毛绒玩具而闻名的英国玩具品牌)”。In addition to food-themed toys, many museums in China have embraced the concept of transforming historical artifacts into plush toys, receiving positive responses from consumers.除了美食毛绒玩具,中国许多博物馆还将历史文物设计为毛绒玩具,引发了消费者的踊跃抢购。The Hubei Provincial Museum offers a plush toy based on the Sword of Goujian, a key artifact from the Spring and Autumn Period (770-476 BC). As the centerpiece of the museum's collection, the sword toy was one of the museum's top three best-selling products last year. People nicknamed it the "little chubby sword."湖北省博物馆推出了以春秋时期(公元前770-476年)重要文物越王勾践剑为原型的毛绒玩具。这款“镇馆之宝”的毛绒玩具挤进了该馆2023年最畅销文创产品前三名。人们亲切地称之为“小胖剑”。When centuries-old artifacts are redesigned as soft, cuddly toys, the contrast fascinates consumers. With their fluffy texture and adorable faces, these plush toys have become popular cultural products.历史悠久的文物被重新设计成柔软可爱的毛绒玩具,这种反差让消费者为之着迷。这些毛绒玩具凭借软弹手感和可爱造型,成为了爆款文化产品。Whether representing regional cuisine or historical artifacts, these plush toys serve as tangible expressions of culture. "Traditional culture doesn't have to exist in the past," said Xu Zhe, a staff member from the cultural and creative department of the Suzhou Museum, in an interview with Guangming Daily. "It can connect with different generations and create new meanings through design."无论是以地方美食还是历史文物为原型,这些毛绒玩具都是文化的有形表现。“传统文化并不一定要以过去形态存在,”苏州博物馆文化创意部工作人员许哲在接受《光明日报》采访时说,“也可以通过‘设计'这个通道与每一代人产生新的连接、创造新的意义。”Xu believes that cultural products, combined with contemporary trends and aesthetics, can convey traditional values in a way that resonates with the younger generation.许哲认为,文创可以与当代风潮、新世代审美相结合,以更年轻的表述方式来传递文化价值。plushn.绒布chubbyadj.胖乎乎的

Today we're going to look at the oldest form of lending, which dates back to the Ancient Greek and Roman Empires. Make a guess – it was also found in China during the Spring and Autumn Period or between 770 to 476 BCE.  Bingo if you've guessed pawn shops! Pawnshops first made their way to modern Singapore back in 1872.There were 25 pawnshops dotted across Singapore from 1920 to 1929, and they generated monthly turnover of over $2 million.  So as you can imagine business was thriving, before the Great Depression in 1929 and World War II dealt a blow to the industry. 90 years after the Great Depression, we've got the COVID-19 pandemic and the War in Ukraine.  But what do such economic uncertainties mean for pawnbrokers in terms of new loans, redemption and interest income? Let's pose the question to our guest for today. Founded in 1988, ValueMax provides pawnbroking and secured money lending services, as well as the retail and trading of jewellery and gold.  The SGX-listed company has 42 pawnbroking and retail outlets across Singapore as well as 21 other outlets in Malaysia operated through its associated company.  On Under the Radar, Drive Time's finance presenter Chua Tian Tian sat down with Yeah Lee Ching, Chief Marketing Officer and Executive Director, ValueMax for more.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

I don't do this too often but I'm featuring this week's Chinese Sayings Podcast in the CHP feed. Firstly this is a tale rooted in 7th century BC Spring and Autumn history. But also, just in case you never heard of this other show of mine, I wanted to introduce it to you. You can find the Chinese Sayings Podcast wherever you find the CHP. Here comes one more textbook chengyu from the Spring and Autumn Period, as written by Master Zuo Qiuming 左丘明 himself: 厉兵秣马 Lì Bīng Mò Mǎ. Lots of marquee names from that exciting time, including Duke Mu of Qin and Duke Wen of Jin. Be sure to check out the teacup.media website for a handy downloadable cheat sheet listing all the Chinese names and terms. This one has a fair number of characters and place names. The kind of inter-kingdom rivalries that were one of the hallmarks of the Eastern Zhou are front and center in this 7th-century BC tale. This is a good Chinese Saying that has a few useful applications in real life. Thanks for listening. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Lichun is the first solar term. Lichun is the day when the sun is exactly at the celestial longitude of 315° (i.e. 45.66 days before the spring equinox). The date of Lichun is not fixed to one Gregorian calendar date, but it always occurs on February 3rd, 4th, or 5th, mostly on February 4th.立春,为二十四节气之首。立,是“开始”之意;春,代表着温暖、生长。 二十四节气最初是依据“斗转星移”制定,当北斗七星的斗柄指向寅位时为立春。现行是依据太阳黄经度数定节气,当太阳到达黄经315°时为立春,于每年公历2月3-5日交节。 明代作品《群芳谱》对立春解释为:“立,始建也。春气始而建立也。干支纪元,以寅月为春正、立春为岁首,立春乃万物起始、一切更生之义也,意味着新的一个轮回已开启。在传统观念中,立春有吉祥的涵义,标志着万物闭藏的冬季已过去,开始进入风和日暖、万物生长的春季。《史记.天官书》(The Records of the Grand Historian):“正月旦,王者岁首,立春日,四时之始也”,立春为四时之始。中国古代一些著作将立春的十五天分为三候:“一候东风解冻,二候蜇虫始振,三候鱼陟负冰”,说的是东风送暖,大地开始解冻。立春五日后,蜇居的虫类慢慢在洞中苏醒,再过五日,河里的冰开始溶化,鱼开始到水面上游动,此时水面上还有没完全溶解的碎冰片,如同被鱼负着一般浮在水面。Lichun HistoryThe history of the 24 solar terms dates back three millennia. They were used for farming in China since the Spring and Autumn Period (770-476 BC), but, according to some experts, the 24 solar terms were only used for the first time in books during the Western Han Dynasty (206 BC – 9 AD).廿四节气是上古农耕文明的产物,它在我国传统农耕社会中占有极其重要的位置。The beginning of spring was of great significance to farmers in ancient times, as it marked the beginning of a new year's work. Major celebrations and traditional Lichun activities were handed down by the generations. Traditional Lichun CustomsThere are still some traditional activities held on the day of Lichun, especially in rural areas.

Script: https://tcmpodcast.me/episode-20-bian-que-the-legendary-chinese-medicine-doctor/ As a rule, in the Traditional Chinese Medicine, doctor always treats the whole person, soul and body. It is, of utmost importance harmonization of internal balances of a body's energy and personality traits, person's eating habits, and what experiences gets during daily life. In old China it is believed that medical ethics are directly related to supernatural capabilities such as clairvoyance. TCM doctor who obtained supernatural capabilities, will definitely lose abilities in case if his moral and ethics decline or got compromised. In ancient China, supernatural capabilities were common to virtually all Chinese medical doctors, as great medical scientists, and were all documented in medical texts. What Chinese medicine has inherited are only those prescriptions or experiences from research. Ancient Chinese medicine was very advanced, and the extent of its progress was beyond present medical science. Just as Modern Medicine traces its foundations to Greek and Roman doctors such as Hippocrates and Galen, Traditional Chinese Medicine also has its significant early doctors. Bian Que is widely considered to be one of the most important figures in the history and development of Chinese Medicine and the earliest known Chinese physician. Bian Que lived in about the same period as Confucius during the Spring and Autumn Period (around 552–479 BC)... Info: www.tcmpodcast.me

In the recent cultural relics exhibition titled “The Making of Zhongguo – Origins, Developments and Achievements of Chinese Civilization” at China's Palace Museum, otherwise known as the Forbidden City, in Beijing, there were two sets of bronzes. One is the Bronze Chime Bells of Zheng State (806-375 BCE), usually housed at Henan Museum in Zhengzhou, one of the largest sets of chime bells ever unearthed in China. The other is known as Shangzhou Shigong, or the 10 ceremonial utensils of the Shang and Zhou dynasties (c.16th century-256 BCE) to commemorate Confucius, the celebrated thinker, educator and philosopher of the Spring and Autumn Period (770-476 BCE).Today, we discuss how Qing Dynasty emperor Qianlong holds Confucius in high esteem in order to win over men of letters where Han nationality dwell.

Genre: Audiobooks, Classics, Classic Fiction, Free Audiobooks. Audiobook Title: The Art of War by Sun Tzu (complete audiobook) The Art of War is an ancient Chinese military treatise dating from the Late Spring and Autumn Period (roughly 5th century BC). The work, which is attributed to the ancient Chinese military strategist Sun Tzu ("Master Sun", also spelled Sunzi), is composed of 13 chapters. Each one is devoted to a different set of skills (or "art") related to warfare and how it applies to military strategy and tactics. For almost 1,500 years it was the lead text in an anthology that was formalized as the Seven Military Classics by Emperor Shenzong of Song in 1080. The Art of War remains the most influential strategy text in East Asian warfare and has influenced both Eastern and Western military thinking, business tactics, legal strategy, lifestyles and beyond. The book contained a detailed explanation and analysis of the Chinese military, from weapons and strategy to rank and discipline. Sun also stressed the importance of intelligence operatives and espionage to the war effort. Because Sun has long been considered to be one of history's finest military tacticians and analysts, his teachings and strategies formed the basis of advanced military training for millennia to come. The book was translated into French and published in 1772 (re-published in 1782) by the French Jesuit Jean Joseph Marie Amiot. A partial translation into English was attempted by British officer Everard Ferguson Calthrop in 1905 under the title The Book of War. The first annotated English translation was completed and published by Lionel Giles in 1910. Military and political leaders such as the Chinese communist revolutionary Mao Zedong, Japanese daimyō Takeda Shingen, Vietnamese general Võ Nguyên Giáp, and American military general Norman Schwarzkopf Jr. have drawn inspiration from the book.

King Tang defeated him and founded the nation with the dynastic title Shang. The dynasty lasted for six hundred years until the last ruler King Zhou, notorious as a dissipated and unprincipled tyrant, was defeated by King Wu who later founded the Zhou Dynasty. This is the well-known historical event of King Wu on a punitive expedition against the despotic King Zhou. The Zhou Dynasty lasted for eight hundred years, the longest one of all the dynasties in ancient China. The capital of Zhou was later moved eastwards to Luoyang City, and the Eastern Zhou Dynasty began. The political power then started to deteriorate, the laws were violated and the continuing wars among major powers pushed the nation to the verge of collapse. Many peripatetic politicians traveled around to sell their propositions to princes and lords. The Eastern Zhou Dynasty began with the Spring and Autumn Period and ended with the Warring States Period. In the Spring and Autumn Period, there were "Five Chieftains", and in the Warring States Period, there were "Seven Martial States". < Explanation in simplified>⁣  夏朝的最后一位君王桀暴虐无道,于是汤起而讨伐,建立了商朝,延续了六百多年。后来,周武王联合诸侯讨伐荒淫无道的纣王,建立了周朝,周朝历时八百多年,是我国历史上最长久的王朝。周朝东迁洛阳之后,法度不振,政纲纪律废弛,诸侯混战不断,于是有很多善籍善谋的人纷纷游说诸侯, 宣扬各种主张。东周始于春秋,终于战国,「春秋 五霸」是春秋时期五个霸主,「战国七雄」则是指战国时期国力最强的七个诸侯国。 < Explanation in traditional>⁣ 夏朝的最後一位君王桀暴虐無道,於是湯起而討伐,建立了商朝,延續了六百多年。後來,周武王聯合諸侯討伐荒淫無道的紂王,建立了周朝,周朝歷時八百多年,是我國歷史上最長久的王朝。周朝東遷洛陽之後,法度不振,政綱紀律廢弛,諸侯混戰不斷,於是有很多善籍善謀的人紛紛遊說諸侯, 宣揚各種主張。東周始於春秋,終於戰國,「春秋 五霸」是春秋時期五個霸主,「戰國七雄」則是指戰國時期國力最強的七個諸侯國。 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Welcome to leave a message, thought, suggestion, feedback to me. 如果你对内容有任何问题,想法,建议,都可以留言给我 https://open.firstory.me/story/ck9v7bjsoqivi0873td4ux1gc?m=comment It would be a big help if you kindly support my channel with a cup of coffee 欢迎买杯咖杯赞助我的频道,你的小小支持是我的大大帮助 ☕ https://pay.firstory.me/user/taiwanaccent Powered by Firstory Hosting

When the age of Classic of Poetry ended, the Spring and Autumn Annals were compiled by Confucius. The work, in which the author praises the good deeds and condemns the evil ones, mainly focuses on the political activities of the ruling class during the Spring and Autumn Period. Since the text of this book was very simple, a number of commentaries were composed to explain and expand on its meanings, including Commentary of Gongyang, Commentary of Zuo, and Commentary of Guliang. We should familiarize ourselves with these classics before studying the many philosophers' works from the Spring and Autumn Period. The books of the philosophers are mostly rather difficult to study; we can pick out the essentials and memorize the important historical events. < Explanation in simplified>⁣  《诗经》分为《国风》《大雅》《小雅》《颂》四 个部分,称为「四诗」,我们应当学习诵读。作诗的风气没落之后,孔子写出《春秋》来褒扬善行,贬抑恶行。 「春秋三传」是解释《春秋》的书,有 《公羊传》《左传》和《谷梁传》。这些经传都读熟了之后,才可再读诸子百家的书。诸子的书多而复杂,我们可选取其中对自身德行学问有帮助的精华来读,对于重点历史事件,要记住它的起因和结局。 < Explanation in traditional>⁣ 《詩經》分為《國風》《大雅》《小雅》《頌》四個部分,稱為「四詩」,我們應當學習誦讀。作詩的風氣沒落之後,孔子寫出《春秋》來褒揚善行,貶抑惡行。「春秋三傳」是解釋《春秋》的書,有 《公羊傳》《左傳》和《穀梁傳》。這些經傳都讀熟了之後,才可再讀諸子百家的書。諸子的書多而複雜,我們可選取其中對自身德行學問有幫助的精華來讀,對於重點歷史事件,要記住它的起因和結局。 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Welcome to leave a message, thought, suggestion, feedback to me. 如果你对内容有任何问题,想法,建议,都可以留言给我 https://open.firstory.me/story/ck9v7bjsoqivi0873td4ux1gc?m=comment It would be a big help if you kindly support my channel with a cup of coffee 欢迎买杯咖杯赞助我的频道,你的小小支持是我的大大帮助 ☕ https://pay.firstory.me/user/taiwanaccent Powered by Firstory Hosting

更多内容,请关注我们今日的微信,搜索:英语环球 NEWSPlusA new set of textbooks designed to help high school students learn about traditional Chinese culture is to be published soon.The textbooks are the first national-level works of their kind and have been developed by a working group that promotes traditional culture. The books will be put to use in the upcoming autumn semester this year.The new textbooks feature four classic teachings from ancient China, "Confucian Analects", "Mencius", "Great Learning" and "Tao Te Ching", all for senior high school students.Students will study the full text of "Tao Te Ching", a Taoist classic written by Chinese philosopher Lao-Tzu during the Spring and Autumn Period around 2,500 years ago.The initiative follows a series of steps the authorities have taken in recent years to promote traditional Chinese culture on campus.put to use vt. 使用,采用,利用 跟use是一个意思。如以主动语态形式出现,宾语一般放在put和to之间。例句:The intern has been around for a few weeks, and so far he hasn't actually done anything. We should put him to good use. (实习生已经来了几个星期了,到目前为止还没做什么事。我们应该好好用一下他。)The new batch of computers will be put to use next week. For the time being, just bear with the old ones for a bit longer! (那批新电脑下周就会投入使用。现在就再多忍一会儿老电脑吧!)Confucian Analects n. 《论语》Confucian指孔子的、儒家的,analects指文选、论集,所以Confucian Analects就是孔子论集,即《论语》。这是中国春秋时期一部语录体散文集,主要记载孔子及其弟子的言行。它较为集中地反映了孔子的思想。由孔子弟子及再传弟子编纂而成。全书共20篇、492章,首创 “语录体”。Mencius n. 《孟子》儒家经典著作,战国中期孟子及其弟子万章、公孙丑等著。为孟子、孟子弟子、再传弟子的记录。《汉书•艺文志》著录《孟子》11篇,现存七篇14卷。总字数35,000余字,286章。书中记载有孟子及其弟子的各项活动,涉及政治、教育、哲学、伦理等学说和思想。Great Learning n. 《大学》旧说为曾子所作,当代很多学者认为实际是秦汉时的儒家作品,是讨论古代汉族教育理论的重要著作。在宋代以前,《大学》的地位并不是很突出,经北宋程颢、程颐竭力尊崇,南宋朱熹又作《大学章句》,《大学》遂成为儒家经典中重要的篇章,最终和《中庸》、《论语》、《孟子》并称“四书”。宋、元以后,《大学》成为学校官定的教科书和科举考试的必读书,对古代教育产生了极大的影响。Tao Te Ching n. 《道德经》又称《道德真经》、《老子》、《五千言》、《老子五千文》,是中国古代先秦诸子分家前的一部著作,是春秋时期的老子所作的远古语录体。古代马王堆版由上篇《德篇》和下篇《道篇》组成,不分章。现代通行版本共81章,前37章是《道篇》,后44章为《德篇》。《道德经》被誉为万经之王,是中国历史上最伟大的名著之一,对中国哲学、科学、政治、宗教等产生了深刻影响。据联合国教科文组织统计,《道德经》是除了《圣经》以外被译成外国文字发布量最多的文化名著。Taoist adj. 道教的 n. 道士,道教信徒 道教发源于春秋战国时期的方仙道,是一个崇拜诸多神明的多神教原生的宗教形式,主要宗旨是追求长生不死、得道成仙、济世救人。在中国传统文化中占有重要地位。Lao-tsu 老子 姓李名耳,字聃,约生活于公元前571年至471年间。老子是我国古代伟大的哲学家和思想家、道家学派创始人,被唐朝帝王追认为李姓始祖。他也是世界百位历史名人之一,其作品《道德经》的精华是朴素的辩证法,主张无为而治,对中国哲学发展具有深刻影响。Spring and Autumn Period n. 春秋时期 中国历史阶段之一。关于这一时期的起讫,一般有三种说法:一种认为是公元前770-公元前476年;一种认为是公元前770-公元前453年韩赵魏三家灭智氏;另外一种认为是公元前770-公元前403年韩赵魏三家分晋。

完整文稿更多内容请关注10.2日微信:英语环球 NEWS Plus Shandong cuisine is commonly known as Lu Cai in Chinese because present-day Shandong Province belonged partly to the Lu State during the Spring and Autumn Period nearly 3000 years ago. As one of the oldest types of cuisine in the world, Lu Cai is at the fount of northern Chinese cooking, having been followed and developed by the imperial court chefs. Shandong has a 3000-kilometer-long coastline with the Yellow River running through it, with most of the province's lands plains and low-lying land. Because of its warm, temperate climate, Shandong possesses many raw materials for cooking and can afford to place more emphasis on freshness of the ingredients used. Seafood is an important part of Shandong cuisine. Like chefs from other culinary schools, the Lu chefs specialise in their own areas, whether it be taste, texture, color, and so on. They tend to use heavy sauces and seasonings to create uncomplicated dishes with simple ingredients that avoid mixing too many flavors. Some might consider Shandong dishes quite salty due to the use of seasonings like soy sauce and dark vinegar. But as food expert Sun Qixin explains, the Lu dishes in fact are savory rather than salty. "The Lu chefs aren't after a salty taste in their cooking. Shandong cuisine is distinctive for its freshness; and the ingredients are processed carefully in a way that diners can get the true taste of the ingredients. Lu chefs use a lot of sauce paste because they want the dish to look brightly colored and fresh. So it's savory and fresh rather than salty." The chefs believe the best way to cook to highlight freshness and original flavors of ingredients is to stew flavor-packed soup with natural materials. Soup is one of the most important elements of the Lu cuisine, whether it's a clear, rich broth, hearty, creamy chowder, or one of the many other soups made from milk or cream. All, nevertheless, deliciously tasty. Shandong native and food connoisseur, Li Changshun, explains. "A typical Shandong dish must be served with soup. There are different kinds of soup in Shandong cuisine �C from a clear "consomm��," to a thick, creamy variety. The clear soups are light and fresh, serving as a flavor enhancer to bring out the taste of the ingredients. And the milky soup is creamy and mellow, which is often used to add flavors and aromas to dishes made of vegetables. " There are more than thirty cooking techniques in Shandong cuisine, such as Bao, a quick frying technique; Liu, quick frying with starch pastes over the ingredient; stewing, and roasting. Seafood is almost a staple food in this cuisine, with the province's plentiful marine recourses. One of the most famous dishes is "sweet and sour carp"; which for an authentic dish must be made with carp fish from the Yellow River. Incisions are made into a whole grass carp before it is breaded and deep-fried, ensuring that the meat is tender with a crispy crust in each and every bite of fish. A sweet and sour sauce made of vinegar and sugar is poured on top, and various ingredients including ginger, chili peppers, white sesame seeds and soy beans can be placed on top of the fish for garnish. The resulting dish emulates a whole fresh fish having been caught jumping out of the river with the red-orange hue of the sweet, tangy sauce. Another famous Shandong dish is "Braised Sea Cucumbers with Scallions��. Wang Peng's restaurant is popular among Shandong food lovers for its "Braised Sea Cucumbers with Scallions". "Braised Sea Cucumbers with Scallions is a classic Shandong food. The sea cucumbers are fresh and savory, soft and smooth, while the scallions are green and fibrous with a little bit of bite to enhance the flavor. The main flavors in this dish come from the green onions, ginger and sugar that are made into a sauce. The sea cucumbers are braised in the sauce with the addition of soy sauce and Shaoxing wine, creating a delicious dish with the smooth, creamy texture of sea cucumbers." Lu Cai isn't just about flavour: it's also well known for its strict table manners and dining etiquette as the province is home to Confucius. Not surprising, for Confucius' home province. According to the great thinker, eating a meal involved a lot more than the act of eating. While "the foremost function of eating was physical and mental cultivation," it also served various social purposes, one being the "strengthening of kinship and friendship." It is important to note that these rules of etiquette were not to be blindly followed and repeated but understood as an integral aspect of society. For example, seating arrangements were clearly outlined as they reflected hierarchy and status. Wang Peng again. "The left, or eastward side, is considered most honorable, the seat facing the door most venerable of all. Just as where an individual sits is an indication of their place in the hierarchy, the order in which the guests at a social dinner, or a family dinner, will eat is also an indication of their status. The younger family members or subordinates cannot eat until their superiors raise their chopsticks, and they also have to stop eating when they do so. " Dining etiquette even goes beyond actions and seating arrangements, as there are also rules concerning the serving and eating of food. Serving etiquette pays attention to the exact location and angle a dish should be placed in and how the server should hold and place a dish on the table. The cuisine has one other claim to fame. More than any other Chinese culinary traditions, Lu Cai is known for its tendency to use steamed breads rather than rice as its staple food.
