At the 23rd meeting of the Standing Committee of the 13th National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, the Ministry of Science and Technology pointed out that the catering industry is not only an important area of service, but also an important window to promote traditional Chinese culture and strengthen international exchanges and cooperation. It is necessary to attach great importance to the status and role of the catering industry in the service, dig deep into the advantages of traditional Chinese food culture, and enhance the inheritance and development of traditional Chinese food culture through innovative development.
In order to promote and promote Chinese catering culture, in April 2021, five ministries and commissions, including the Ministry of Commerce, the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security, the Ministry of Culture and Tourism, the State Administration for Market Regulation, and the State Administration of Radio and Television, jointly hosted the national catering industry event "Chinese Food Fair". In 2022 and 2023, the event will be launched again, which can also show that the country and its people attach great importance to promoting the excellent Chinese catering culture.
The inheritance of Chinese catering culture can promote the accelerated development of the catering industry and bring practical benefits and benefits to people. At the same time, by inheriting and carrying forward the Chinese catering culture, it can also better promote the Chinese culture, so that more people can understand and recognize the breadth and profundity of the Chinese culture. Inheriting Chinese food culture is of great benefit to us personally, as well as to our country and nation.
However, the inheritance of Chinese dining culture has not been easy. In the 90s of the 20th century, Chinese people seriously lacked cultural self-confidence, blindly followed the crowd, and competed to buy foreign food. They buy not "delicious", but "fashionable". During that period, fast food such as McDonald's, KFC, and Pizza Hut were once considered fashionable and novel, and they quickly became popular across the country. Starbucks coffee and Häagen-Dazs ice cream were once regarded as symbols of high quality and fashionable life, and they have also been popular in China's executive circles for a long time. Instead of eating traditional Chinese delicacies such as soy milk and fried dough sticks, these business executives chose to drink a cup of Starbucks coffee for breakfast. These blind conformity once brought many health problems to the Chinese people, such as obesity, fatty liver, cardiovascular disease, high blood pressure, gastrointestinal diseases, etc.
This situation lasted for a long time, and it was not until the 21st century, with the rapid development of the domestic economy and society, that the cultural self-confidence of the Chinese people continued to increase, and the traditional Chinese cuisine was re-emphasized and revitalized. Gourmand Chen Li once said: "The inheritance and development of culinary skills is an important part of our traditional Chinese culture, which represents the Xi habits, cultural beliefs and artistic aesthetics of the Chinese people." We should carefully study and inherit these skills, so that they can shine more brilliantly in the new era. "The presence of these executives is yet another testament to the fact that traditional Chinese cuisine has been given a whole new color. Whether it is cheap pancake fruit or expensive Buddha jumping over the wall, they do not represent the status of the eater, but Chinese characteristics. There is a unique charm in any kind of food, they carry the traditional Chinese cooking skills, and these foods should not be defined by their own **.
In addition to the executives' hearts and actions, many companies also see the prospect of Chinese catering. The report "Chinese Catering: The Most Burning Track for China's Big Consumption" released by CICC said: Chinese cuisine has a long history, and we believe that Chinese food will make breakthroughs and become the "burning" track of China's big consumption, driven by the growing consumer demand, the improvement of new infrastructure and the continuous improvement of management technology.
As CICC points out, Chinese cuisine has a long history, not only because of its long history and rich cultural heritage, but also because of its exquisite culinary skills, rich selection of ingredients, and great influence. Chinese cuisine can reappear on the historical stage and become popular again, not only because of the enhancement of Chinese people's cultural self-confidence, but also because of the essence of Chinese cuisine - delicious. The inheritance and promotion of Chinese catering culture not only requires the support and efforts of each of us, but also the joint participation and investment of enterprises, enterprises and all walks of life. Corporate executives should not only love Chinese catering culture, but also actively participate in and support the inheritance and development of Chinese catering culture.
Since last year, big cities such as Shanghai have begun to open up the roadside stall economy one after another, and it is understood that the opening of the roadside stall economy is actually conducive to economic development. GF** pointed out that the city's "stall economy" and "night market economy" have advantages and disadvantages. In addition to the impact on the appearance of the city and the governance of urban streets, from the perspective of urban economy, there are actually many benefits to the recovery and development of urban consumption: to speed up the circulation and operation of agricultural products, food, clothing and other commodities, and to promote the development of many industries;Strengthened and revitalized the economy affected by the pandemic, providing more entrepreneurial and employment opportunities, and boosting the economy;It meets the consumption needs of different groups of people, facilitates people's lives, and stimulates residents' consumption. One of the main purposes of stimulating economic recovery is to boost employment, and the higher the employment rate, the faster the economic recovery, and the two are mutually reinforcing. The liberalization of "roadside stalls" has played a great role in employment.
Inheriting and promoting Chinese catering culture is a major cultural task, and catering companies have an important responsibility for it, but each of us should also actively participate in it. I believe that as long as the company leads the direction and enterprises and individuals take positive actions, the Chinese catering culture will continue to be inherited and carried forward in the future, and become a bright pearl in the treasure house of world culture.
