Question

Are you a gourmand(美食主义者)? Do you want to eat every delicious food in the world? Then do you watch the popular program? “A Bite of China(舌尖上的中国)” is a documentary on Chinese delicious food which has been broadcasted by Chinese central television. Is there any holiday that isn't celebrated with a special festival food? Here are several traditional Chinese foods:

Eggs hold a special meaning in many cultures and China is no exception(例外). The Chinese believe eggs mean producing something new. After a baby is born parents may hold a "red egg and ginger party " where they pass out eggs to announce the birth. In some areas of China the number of eggs represents the sex of the child for example an even number(1 3 5 ---) for a girl and an odd number(2 4 6---) if a boy has been born.

Noodles are a symbol of longlife in Chinese culture. They are as much a part of a Chinese birthday celebration as a birthday cake with lit candles is in many countries. Since noodles represent long life it is considered very unlucky to cut it off.

Although westerners sometimes may be very sorry to see fish lying on a plate in China a whole fish is a symbol of richness. In fact at a party it is traditional to serve the whole fish last pointed toward the valued guest. Fish also has a special meaning because the Chinese word for fish yu sounds like the word for richness or plenty and it is believed that eating fish will help your wishes come true in the year to come.

A very popular dish during the Dragon Boat Festival is Zongzi. This tasty dish is made of rice dumplings with meat peanut or other delicious food in bamboo leaves. The tradition of Zongzi is meant to remind us of a great man Qu Yuan.
