When watching the movie, “Eat Drink Man Woman”, I was able to learn a lot about the Chinese culture and the food that they eat. Even though all the food that was prepared in the film was high end cuisine, I was still able to get a glimpse of what it had to offer. When a lot of Americans think of Chinese food, they tend to think strictly about American Chinese food, and that is not the case. Many meals were prepared in the film that ranged from elegant soups, chicken, duck, and fish, to fancy dumplings, and desserts. The film was able to show me a lot of what the food they eat looks like, even if it was five star meals, and had a great storyline to back it up.

In Ancient China, the people ate healthy. The Chinese ate a lot of vegetables but the variety was small. The vegetable range consisted of Cucumbers and Soybeans, and apparently, it’s been dated that they’ve been eating that since 1000 BC. The Soybean was an important grain for the Chinese. At one point in Chinese Food History, Wine was more popular than tea, the first wine that was introduced to them was Yellow Rice Wine, also known as Huangjiu. Huangjiu is a rice wine made from water and cereal grains like rice, millet, sorghum and wheat. This type of alcohol contained less than 20% of actual alcohol, and it was aged for as long as 20 years. (Wikipedia, n.d.) Chinese people also ate all kinds of meats from different animals, however, not all could afford it so they replaced it with tofu as a cheaper source of protein. Tofu is bean curd, it is rich in nutrients like calcium, iron, high protein and has little fat. It replaced meat for the poor Chinese since they didn’t eat meat regularly, only on special occasions. They made a law that would give every Chinese person a free cup of tofu every week, I did not find any evidence of this law but tofu was still important to the Chinese and their healthy diet Tea was also common in china, and it grew wild all over China and they had plenty of it, everyone drank tea,

So, after I did all my research I concludes that China is a interesting country with many different customs than America. Such as, manly only eating plants due to religion. Preserving their foods because of the hot, humid climate. And always using the "scraps" of an animal in any way they

Today marks the ninth annual Yulin “Lychee and Dog meat festival”. Each year at this 10 day event they consume up to 10,000 dogs and cats. The first festival took place in 2009 to mark the summer solstice. Dog eating is a tradition in China, and according to myths, eating the meat during the summer brings luck and good health.

First, animals are not well taken care of. This is true because in a exception in China there was no sign of sleeping areas or like they have been fed recently. Also in the same inspection 53 % of the elephants had behavioral problems. Think about it, no food, no water and no sleeping areas.In the same inspection their was no sign of natural habitat. That is like waking up and somebody taking you to a place that have never seen before.In one zoo they refused to have a animal taken care of when it was sick.

In a way this is a given since everybody in China celebrates the Chinese festivities in the same way. “In both films, the women’s ambitions lead them to make regular trips from their rural village to town, necessitating a clash with forces of modernization on the respective forms of government bureaucracy.” (Lu, T., 1998, 2006) To take things a bit further, Qiu Ju sells her red chili peppers to make money as Ermo sells her twisty noodles, this shows both of these woman taking advantage of the free market economy.

Eating is the most necessary and common thing for everyone and also the most basic activity that is happening every day. With the world development faster and faster, the eating culture is also changing in different ways.

Especially there are lots of obvious differences between China and the U.S. Although everyone has a common sense of eating that it is just having meals, there are many very different parts about Chinese and the U.S. Eating culture. Because of the differences in geographical features, the climate of the environment, customs and other factors, food products will appear different degrees

Even though knowing that the hot dog did not came out to be so Americanize as most think, but rather German is good to see that it was brought here. For others to enjoy this creation, this background of the hot dog was really fascinating to have read about. Since I always thought that the hot dog was something really American because of how it is so promoted in ads a lot here in the United States. Not only that but you can literally find a hot dog stand mostly anywhere you go now in this century. Like if you go to the gasoline station, to the park, any amusement park, Target, it’s certainly everywhere in America

Their sweetness symbolizes a rich and sweet life. The family will then end the night with firecrackers.
