论中西食品的近现代交流与融合

On the Exchange between and Integration of Chinese and Western Foods in Modern Times

近现代以来,西式食品、技艺大举进入中国。西式食品、技艺与中国食品、技艺分属不同的文化体系,因而具有不同的工艺审美和美学特点。西式食品不追求烹饪过程的美感,讲究食品对象的质量、性能,采取分食制,在其进入中国后由于本土食品技艺传统和饮食审美、美学的观念不同,遭遇到来自传统"老字号"食店和民间饮食传统等的抵制,但在发展的过程中西式食品、技艺也逐步融入进来,而且得到了相当程度的改造。中西食品的近现代交流与融合,是中西文化交流与融合的一个重要侧面,对于推进中国的现代化和推动中国食品、技艺的体系革命,具有重要的历史意义。

Western foods and culinary techniques,with their distinct artistic and aesthetic features,have been surging into China in modern times. Western foods pursue ingredients＇ quality and properties,serve individual portions,but do not emphasize the beauty of preparation process. They have met with resistance from traditional businesses and folk culinary traditions as a result of cultural differences,but have been modified through exchange and integration with Chinese cuisine. Their interaction,part of Western and Chinese cultural exchange and integration,plays a significant role in pushing forward China＇s modernization and the systematic revolution of Chinese foods and culinary techniques.
