are,Sichuan,cuisine,Shandong,cuisine,Jiangsu,cuisine and,Guangdong,(Cantonese)cuisine.These styles are distinctive from one another due to factors such as available resources,climate,geography,history,cooking techniques and lifestyles.,5,3.Cooking techniques of Chinese cuisine,Cultural information,1,Audiovisual Supplement,Cultural,I,nformation,Braising and

article,which is written by a foreigner,provides us with a foreign perspective to examine our culture,though on a seemingly trivial aspect our food.But all elements of a culture are actually of equal significance,so any of them can serve as a stand we set our first step on.If you havent started your journey to discover your own culture,then let yourself be pushed by this article and take it as your first step.At the end of this journey,you may either love your culture more,or less,but one thing is sure,that your feeling toward your culture will be more real and will be based upon a much broadened view.,Rhetorical Features,7,Structural analysis 1,Text Analysis,Structural,A,nalysis,This text can be divided into three parts:,The first part discusses the difference in Chinese and Western attitudes towards food.,Paragraphs 1-4:,Rhetorical Features,The second part explains how Chinese food has become an international food.,Paragraphs 5-6:,The third elaborates on the nature of Chinese food.,Paragraphs 7-9:,8,Structural analysis 2,Text Analysis,Structural,A,nalysis,Rhetorical Features,The topic sentences of Paragraphs 7-9:,The traditional high-quality Chinese meal is a serious

expression of basic assumptions about life itself.,Paragraph,9,:,9,Rhetorical Features,1,Text Analysis,Structural,A,nalysis,Rhetorical Features,In this essay,alliteration,is utilized here and there.Here are some examples:“Many people in the West are,g,ourmets and others are,g,luttons,”;“to making you a,s,aint or a,s,inner?”;“everywhere from,H,ong Kong to,H,onolulu to,H,oboken to,H,udderfield.”The underlined parts show repetition of the first sound or letter of a succession of words,which helps to convey a sort of melodious quality,thus making those words sound more pleasing and impressive.,10,Rhetorical Features,2,Text Analysis,Structural,A,nalysis,Rhetorical Features,Other examples of alliteration in the essay:,1.“all these have become much more a,p,art and,p,arcel of the average persons life”(Paragraph 6),2.“Meat and fish,s,olids and,s,oups,s,weet and,s,our,s,auces,”(Paragraph 8),11,“Few things in life are as positive as food,or are taken as intimately and completely by the individual.One can listen to music,but the sound may enter in one ear and go out through the other;one may listen to a lecture or conversation,and day-dream about many other things;one may attend to matters of business,and ones heart or interest may be altogether elsewhere,T.McArthur,Chinese Food,Detailed reading1,Detailed,R,eading,1,12,Detailed reading2,Detailed,R,eading,In the matter of food and eating,however,one can hardly remain completely indifferent to what one is doing for long.How can one remain entirely indifferent to something which is going to enter ones body and become part of oneself?,How can one remain indifferent to something which will determine ones physical strength and ultimately ones spiritual and moral fibre and,well-being,?,”,Kenneth Lo,13,Detailed reading3,Detailed,R,eading,This is an easy question for a Chinese to ask,but a Western might find it difficult to answer.Many people in the West are gourmets and others are gluttons,but scattered among them also is a large number of people who are apparently pretty indifferent to what goes into their stomachs,and so do not regard food as having any ultimate moral effect on them.,How,they might ask,could eating a hamburger or drinking Coca Cola contribute anything to making you a saint or a sinner?For them,food is quite simply a fuel.,2,14,Kenneth Lo,however,expresses a point of view that is profoundly different and typically Chinese,deriving from thousands of years of tradition.The London restaurateur Fu Tong,for example,quotes no less an authority than Confucius(the ancient sage known in Chinese as Kung-Fu-Tzu)with regard to the primal importance of food.Food,said the sage,is the first happiness.Fu Tong adds:“,Food to my countrymen is one of the,ecstasies,of life,to be thought about in advance;to be,smothered,with loving care throughout its preparation;and to have time,lavished,on it in the final pleasure of eating.,”,Detailed reading4,Detailed,R,eading,3,15,Detailed reading5,Detailed,R,eading,Lo observes that when Westerners go to a restaurant they ask for a good table,which means a good position from which to see and be seen.They are usually there to be entertained socially and also,incidentally,to eat.When the Chinese go to a restaurant,however,they ask for a small room with plain walls where they cannot be seen except by the members of their own party,where jackets can come off and they can proceed with the serious business which brought them there.,The Chinese intentions are both honourable and whole-hearted:to eat with a capital E.,4,16,Detailed reading6,Detailed,R,eading,Despite such a marked difference in attitudes towards what one consumes,there is no doubt that people in the West have come to regard the cuisine of China as something special.In fact,one can,assert,with some justice that Chinese food is,nowadays,the only truly international food.It is,ubiquitous,.Restaurants,bedecked,with dragons and delicate landscape serving such,exotica,as,Dim Sin Gai,(sweet and sour chicken),Shao Shing,soup,Chiao-Tzu,and,kuo-Tioh,(northern style),and,Ging Ai Kwar,(steamed aubergines)have sprung up everywhere from Hong Kong to Honolulu to Hoboken to Huddersfield.,5,17,Detailed reading7,Detailed,R,eading,How did this come about?Certainly,a kind of Chinese food was exported to North America when many thousands of Chinese went there in the 19th century to work on such things as the U.S.railways.,They settled on or near the west coast,where the famous or infamous “chop suey joints”grew up,with their rather inferior brand of Chinese cooking.,The standard of the restaurants improved steadily in the United States,but Lo considers that the crucial factor in spreading this kind of food throughout the Western world was population,6,18,Detailed reading8,Detailed,R,eading,pressure in the then British colony of Hong Kong,especially after 1950,which sent families out all over the world to seek their fortunes in the opening of restaurants.He adds,however,that this could not have happened if the world had not been interested in what the Hong Kong Chinese had to cook and sell.He detects an increase in,sensuality,in the Western world;“Colour,texture,movement,food,drink,and rock music all these have become much more,part and parcel,of the average,19,Detailed reading9,Detailed,R,eading,persons life than they have ever been.,It is this increased sensuality and the desire for great freedom from,age-bound,habits in the West,combined with the inherent sensual concept of Chinese food,always quick to satisfy the,taste buds,that is at the root of the sudden and,phenomenal,spread of Chinese food throughout the length and breadth of the Western World.,”,There is no doubt that the traditional high-quality Chinese meal is a serious matter,fastidiously,prepared and fastidiously enjoyed.Indeed,the bringing together and initial cutting up and organising of the materials is,7,20,Detailed reading10,Detailed,R,eading,according to Helen Burke,about 90%of the actual preparation,the cooking itself being only about 10%.This 10%is not,however,a simple matter.There are many possibilities to choose from;Kenneth Lo,for example,lists forty methods available for the heating of food,from c,hu,or the art of boiling to such others as,tsang,a kind of stir-frying and,braising,ta,deep frying in batter,and,wei,burying food in hot solids such as charcoal,heated stones,sand,salt and lime.,21,Detailed reading11,Detailed,R,eading,The preparation is detailed,and the enjoyment must therefore match it.Thus,a proper Chinese meal can last four hours and proceed almost like a religious ceremony.It is a shared experience for the participants,not a lonely,chore,with its procession of planned and carefully,contrived,dishes,some elements designed to blend,others to contrast.Meat and fish,solids and soups,sweet and sour sauces,crisp and smooth textures,fresh and dried vegetables all these and more challenge the,palate,with their appropriate charms.,8,22,Detailed reading12,Detailed,R,eading,In a Chinese meal that has not been altered to conform to Western ideas of eating,everything is presented as a kind of buffet,the guest eating a little of this,a little of that.Individual portions as such are not provided.A properly planned dinner will include at least one fowl,one fish and one meat dish,and their presentation with appropriate vegetables is not just a matter to taste but also a question of harmonious colours.The eye must be pleased as well as the palate;if not,then a certain essentially Chinese element is missing,9,23,Detailed reading13,Detailed,R,eading,an element that links this cuisine with that most typical and yet,elusive,concept Tao.Emily Hahn,an American who has lived and worked in China,has a great appreciation both of Chinese cooking and the“way”that leads to morality and harmony.She insists that“there is moral excellence in good cooking”,and adds that to the Chinese,traditionally,all life,all action,all knowledge are one.They may be chopped up and given parts with labels,such as“Cooking”,“Health”,“Character”and the like,but none is in reality separate from the other.,24,Detailed reading14,Detailed,R,eading,The smooth harmonies and,piquant,contrasts in Chinese food are more than just the products of recipes and personal,enterprise,.They are an expression of basic assumptions about life itself.,25,How important is food and eating,according to Kenneth Lo?,Detailed reading1-,Quesion,1,Food and eating,according to Kenneth Lo,determines not only ones physical health but also ones spiritual and moral soundness and his ultimate well-being.,Detailed,R,eading,26,Detailed reading1-,Quesion,2,How do the Chinese and westerners differ in their attitudes towards food?,According to the author,many people in the West are gourmets and others are gluttons,while a large number of them are pretty indifferent to food.On the other hand,Fu Tong,a London restaurateur,maintains that food is of primary importance and one of the ecstasies of life.When they go to a restaurant,Westerners care more about the table than the food,while the Chinese aims to eat with a capital E,or take the food with the utmost earnest.,Detailed,R,eading,27,Detailed reading1-,Quesion,3,Why does the author say that Chinese food is the only truly international food?,Literally,Chinese food is ubiquitous.Chinese restaurants have sprung up almost everywhere in the world.At the root of the phenomenal rise of Chinese food in the world,there is a strong interest in Chinese food in the West.There is an increase in the sensuality in the Western world and coincidentally,Chinese food is very sensual in its combination of color,texture and taste.,Detailed,R,eading,28,Detailed reading1-,Quesion,4,Why does the author compare a proper Chinese meal to a religious ceremony?,For the Chinese people,the traditional high-quality Chinese meal is a serious matter.It is fastidiously prepared and fastidiously enjoyed.Both the preparation and enjoyment of a Chinese meal can last hours and make a shared experience which is well planned.The meals must not only meet the challenge of the palate but also that of the eyes.,Detailed,R,eading,29,Detailed reading1-,Quesion,5,How does Chinese food express the basic assumptions of life?,A good traditional Chinese meal must be well planned and balanced in order to meet the demand of the palate and the eyes alike.So,according to Emily Hahn,there is moral excellence in good cooking,which implies the combination of all life,all action and all knowledge.So important is a meal that it does not mean the product of recipe itself;it express the basic assumptions of life,one of which is harmony and balance.,Detailed,R,eading,30,well-being,n.,the state of feeling healthy,happy and comfortable,Detailed reading1,well-being,e.g.,People doing yoga benefit from an increased feeling of well-being.,We saw an improvement in the patients well-being.,Detailed,R,eading,Synonym:,welfare,health,happiness,comfort,31,Detailed reading1,ecstasy,ecstasy,n.,sudden intense feeling or excitement,e.g.,There was a look of ecstasy on his face.,They went into ecstasies over the view.,Detailed,R,eading,Synonym:,rapture,elation,32,Detailed readin
