China is a vast, resource-rich, and historically significant multi-ethnic country, with each ethnic group boasting its own unique and diverse cuisine.
Regional cuisines have developed over time, shaped by geographical conditions, climate, cultural traditions, folk customs, and other factors.
The most influential and representative ones are the Lu, Chuan, Yue, Min, Su, Zhe, Xiang, and Hui cuisines, collectively known as the "Eight Great Cuisines" of China. These Eight Great Cuisines are distinguished by their diverse cooking methods, with each having its respective strengths.
中国是一个幅员辽阔、资源丰富、历史悠久的多民族国家,每个民族都有其独特的丰富菜肴。
地域菜系在地理环境、气候、文化传统、民族风俗和其他因素的影响下经过悠久历史的发展已经成形。
最有影响力、最具代表性的是鲁、川、粤、闽、苏、浙、湘、徽菜系,这八种被人们称为“八大菜系”。中国的“八大菜系”是以多种多样的烹饪方法区分的,各有其长处。
