大运河与淮扬饮食文化的融合与发展

The Fusion and Development of the Grand Canal and Huaiyang Food Culture

淮扬饮食文化作为中国传统饮食文化之一,拥有悠久的历史和丰富的文化内涵。淮扬饮食自春秋时期便开始萌芽生长,到明清时期始闻于世。它的发扬光大与大运河紧密相关。大运河的开凿以及漕运制度使得淮扬地区成为帝国商业重镇,城市得到极大发展,为淮扬饮食文化的发展奠定了物质基础。外埠食材通过大运河交汇于淮扬地区,连同淮扬本地特产共同构成了淮扬饮食的食材基础。那些为皇室与富商服务的名厨则将普通食材雕琢成精美菜品。这些美食又被文人传播到大江南北,淮扬风味遂从地方风味演变成中华名肴之一。在新时代重点研究大运河与淮扬饮食文化之关系,有助于深化运河饮食文化的研究,从而促进中国传统饮食文化遗产的研究与保护。
