The Chinese must go beyond the "eat" the initial stage of

In China, learned to eat, but also understand the culture of the table, they learned the truth in life, that is, a man learned. Born Chinese who do not understand the protocol governing eating and drinking, if you do not understand the culture of the table, almost can be said that there will be no survival and development opportunities. The number of career and wealth, "a man Exalted," the opportunities are on the table, "eating out", and from ancient times to now, has been true.

Yi Zhongtian, in his "Gossip Chinese," one book, one begins with saying: Chinese culture, eating out, Western culture is done out of love. These words, if reason is not thick rough, really think there is some truth. The Chinese people concerned about eating, in addition to well-known phrase, "Hunger breeds discontent", there are like a "disadvantage", "legal action", "eat imperial grain", met asked, "do eat" and other similar abundance of to express them with the culture of eating, and even many with eating and with food-related terms to represent the political system and the right to use. For example, China since ancient times to occupy the position of power called the "aspirations to," "Ding" here is actually Shaotang cooking utensils. Other cultures are mostly associated with eating, such as Confucius kept saying that the "Festival", in fact, is to use the meaning of holding the meat at the barbecue, "li" also means "cut straight do not eat, I do not sit straight," sort of meal rules only. Is no wonder that Confucius is so concerned about their diet, "eating too refined, cuisine is too delicate," a few thousand years, China has become the most important ideals in life. How to eat not only the matter of "gastronomy", but also the matter of "face", but also concerning "the future." So far, in China, which will not entertain distinguished guests, which must be the person who is not a man of. Who would not be able to lead the "eat" at the core, so that the leadership of satisfaction, he would not have advancement opportunities. For thousands of years, these are not changing. No wonder Westerners ghost can only fragrant, but the Chinese people's ghost, still need to wait on lavish meals. However, the Chinese people like to eat, but do not eat their way to a robust body, nor eat their way to nutritious food, but also eat their way to a SRAS-virus and the "sick man of Asia," the honorary title.

If you must bring a kind of cultural separation of "advanced" and "backward" to, then I think that the "eat" out of the culture is backward culture. At least was better than "make love to do out of culture" should be behind a number. Rather, "sex" than "food" to go even further. A culture based on "love", based on the food and clothing for at least shows that they are not a problem. Chinese people also said, "think of lust fed warm," explain "love" is only after adequate food and clothing and some things. Western culture from the outset, "Adam and Eve" eating forbidden fruit started. Since then the so-called "original sin", everyone originated. The more concerned about the Chinese people eat, the more in thrall so-called "Hunger breeds discontent," the more constant hunger, and often eat a basket case. The Chinese concept of happiness is also in the "eating" on the trivial. At the same time, "eat" the levels and layers, but also a sign of high and low social status (now entertain distinguished guests was also to select high-end restaurants, and even five-star hotel.) Ancient emperor of a person a meal that can "eat" hundreds of chickens, in fact, his appetite is also going gets even half a only a ostentation only. However, this pomp is a status symbol. Now everyday dinners are still the same table in different locations as different status symbol. If you do not understand the rules, to sit down casually, it may commit the taboo of. This alone, you're not a man of. Chinese people do not know, "eat" the auspicious, that is not a man. Foreigners do not understand, "sex", it will not be literate. "Eat" is the initial stage of life, "love" is the advanced stage of life. "Meal" is to maintain the present life, "love" is now no problem of life, but would also like to extend the present life. In saying so seems a bit vulgar, but the so-called culture is, "the food color, sex also" only. Therefore, it also confirms what I have repeatedly said before "all the cultural life revolves around the survival and development" is used to ensure that people who invented the life and health, the pursuit of a happy life. All of which prevent people's lives and health and happiness of the so-called "culture" are to be abolished, but also are bound to be the fate of destruction and elimination. Who is constantly in pursuit, the standard is constantly changing, how could a culture forever? "Eunuch" and "palace" culture, but also regarded as a centuries-old Chinese culture, and you figure it is also the "national essence", and we should not take into account the classroom, into the campus, I do not know. However, I know that a healthy life to those who would not choose such a "quintessence of Chinese culture." I firmly believe is that, if a society is open, free, pluralistic, and you put together different cultures, people's lives would naturally choose the most beneficial to their own kind to survive. This choice of human life is God given features. One side is ready to castration eunuch using sharp knife culture, and one side is the beautiful Eve, handsome guy Adam, and without coercion, you look at a healthy life, will choose what kind of culture? Similarly, one side is the United States is now a good Leeuw large, one side is the quintessence opera, you let those kids to choose, they will choose what kind of culture, which is no trial will understand. Peking Opera is a traditional agricultural society and the authoritarian political system the product lines to babble a half-day, has not yet sung, in the traditional agricultural society, a single source of information but also very slow, and we have the time, under such circumstances, a Taiwan operas performed in the last seven days and nights is not a problem. Moreover, when the court of the young lady, son of buddies plenty of time and money, unlike the current post-80 university students, they must race against time to be able to find their own work, be able to earn money to feed themselves. 90 and after 2000, the children will only be more urgent. Must now stand up to an electronic information age. Confucius sat you miss is a good coach, but really have to take into account travel Boeing produced in the United States.

Era in the development, but many Chinese people still indulge in the "eat" culture, but can not think of far better things to do. Eat their way to tens of thousands of dishes, table food to eat tens of thousands, even tens of million astronomical. Coupled with the lack of a sincere religious belief, the Chinese people, eating is let yourself go. Where there are religious culture, could have been somewhat taboo to eat, such as the Islamic taboo to eat pork, the Hindu taboo to eat beef, eat all the fish Hunxing Buddhist taboos, Jews forbidden to eat fish without scales and so on. As long as the food in some taboos, at least more effective in protecting the natural ecology. However, the Chinese people's minds atheistic, without God, where the sky flying, crawling, and water travel, non-toxic of course, eat, toxic also to find a way did you get eaten. Been eating a basket case, the Chinese have been retained吃野生动物habit, which is also a bad habit. Finally produced thousands of years the history of cannibalism.

Eating out culture is the primary culture, there is no hope. Chinese people must go beyond the "eat" the initial stage, rather than continue to "eat" on the stresses ostentation, then our life is to truly improve the taste and quality. Have to walk out of this downturn, only opening up all the best to the world civilization and learning, culture and genetic transformation, to obtain a new culture of quality, rather than conservative in the end
