介绍： China is a vast country with diverse climates, customs, products, and habits. Favoured dishes vary from region to region. People in coastal areas prefer seafood and aquatic products, whereas those in central and northwestern Chian eat more domestic animals and poultry. Tastes also differ regionally because of the climatic differences. One popular summary of Chinese food is “Sweet in the south, salty in the north, sour in the west and spicy in the east”. All together, there are eight schools of cuisine: Shandong, Sichuan, Guangdong, Fujian, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Anhui and Hunan cuisines. Despite differences in choice of dishes, people throughout the country adopt the traditional cooking style prevalent in their respective regions.
中国是一个幅员辽阔的国家，拥有多样的气候、风俗、物产和习惯。各地的特色菜肴各不相同。沿海地区的人们偏爱海鲜和水产品，而中西部地区的人们则更多地食用家畜和家禽。由于气候差异，各地的口味也有所不同。中国饮食有一个广为流传的总结：“南甜北咸，东辣西酸”。总的来说，中国共有八大菜系：鲁菜、川菜、粤菜、闽菜、苏菜、浙菜、徽菜和湘菜。全国各地的人们都采用了各自地区流行的传统烹饪方式。
