in terms of chinese food, it is popularly known that chinese cuisine is worldfamous for its perfect combination of “color, aroma, taste and appearance”. chinese cuisine takes into consideration the selection of raw materials, the texture of food,the blending of seasonings, slicing techniques, the perfect timing of cooking and the art of laying out the food on the plate. among the best-known schools of chinese culinary tradition are the cantonese cuisine of the south, the shandong cuisine of the north, the huaiyang cuisine of the east and the sichuan cuisine of the west. these four major varieties of chinese food have been traditionally noted as “the light flavor of the south, the salty flavor of the north, the sweet flavor of the east and the spicy-hot flavor of the west”.
说起中餐，人们都知道中餐烹饪以其“色、香、味、形”俱全而著称于世。中餐烹饪讲究原料的选配、食物的质地、佐料的调制、切菜的刀工、适时的烹调以及装盘艺术。最负盛名的中餐菜系有南方的粤菜、北方的鲁菜、东部的淮扬菜和西部的川菜，素有“南淡北咸，东甜西辣”之特点。
