There is an old Chinese saying that“food is the most important thing for the people”.Liang Shiqiu,a famous author,wrote“Views on Food in Elegant Shed”.In this book,he not only talked about food,but also talked about his social mentality,a philosophy of life,an aesthetic taste or life pursuit.We can see that food culture has been respected by Chinese people since ancient times,and combined with the spirit.
“民以食为天”是中国人的一句古话。著名作家梁实秋,在搜尽中国大江南北的美味佳肴后,著成了《雅舍谈吃》。在此书中,他不仅谈吃喝,更谈出了他的一种社会心态,一种处世哲学,一种审美趣味或人生追求。我们可以看出,饮食文化从古至今一直被中国人所推崇,并与之结合到了精神层面。上海作为中国的重要城市之一,以“本帮菜”而出名。“本帮菜”,以浓油赤酱、咸淡适中、保持原味、醇厚鲜美为其特色,常用的烹调方法以红烧、煨、糖为主。家常、平民化都是本帮菜的特色。而当海派饮食在海派文化影响下发展起来后,苏、锡、宁、徽等16个地方的风味,甚至西洋风味也被吸收到海派饮食中。菜肴就逐渐由原来的重油赤酱趋向淡雅爽口,并形成了海派饮食的特色。
