China's modern history has shown recent rapid changes in the West during the industrial revolution unparalleled. Now think of China as a "catch up" in the technological and social progress of the Western world, but many centuries ago it was the opposite.
China in the 13 st Century has brought the rest of the world with its advanced technologies. Many are surprised to know that devices like the sea-compass, gunpowder, paper and printing were allinvented in China. China's ties to their culture and traditions, but was reluctant to one of modern developments, which exploded in the West to adopt the same period. In some cases, such as the development of agriculture was not to start using it in the interest of the harvesters in China. The basic diet of rice in China and its workforce have been enormous yield of rice could be more efficient as all the machines and to date has not yet financially sustainable for ChinaTo use the rice fields on human labor to machines.
World Cuisine
With a country the size of the largest United States of America, but with only a fraction of land suitable for food production, rice is a major food products in China. Because of this fact, the Chinese people have always eaten rice as a staple food, combined with vegetables and spices, if available. The meat is still a shortage in some regions of China suitable for livestock and away from traffic intersections. In theseRegions has not changed much the kitchen in the past 1,000 years.
Where most of the Chinese diet changes occur in people who developed cities, where to find new railway lines, highways and ports are the food from other provinces and even in other countries. Like every other country in the developing world are appearing fast food chains and pizzerias, but these are mainly for the middle class and higher are new, as a part of the standard menu of Chinese people.What is more interesting to spectate is the fusion of traditional provincial dishes when migrant workers go to the major business centers in China. As individuals and families flock to the major trade cities in China such as Shanghai or Guangdong, they bring with them traditional recipes which have survived for centuries known only in their hometowns.
In modern day Guangzhou city (formerly Canton), the capital of Guangdong province, one can now find provincial cuisines from all over China. In a typical dining street, you may generally find Xinjiang noodles and breads from the region which borders with Russia, Mongolia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Afghanistan, Pakistan and India. This Muslim populated region brings a totally different flavor than the Hunan style restaurant which is usually located in these same dining streets. The people of Hunan were luckier to have fertile soil and so their food encompasses a lot more fresh vegetables and have a wider variety of dishes.
With each province in pre-modern China being almost equal to a different country in comparing with Europe, the foods from each region really are unique in their own ways. Now, with China's recent advancements in rail transport and roads, the population living in major Chinese cities is for the first time now able to enjoy a sampling of cuisines from all over the continent.
