We are what we eat. Diet is the human needs both physiologically and psychologically. It is also a reflection of national/ local culture, social traditions and folk customs. The workshop will be organized to introduce the extensive and profound Chinese dietary culture: diet and folk customs, diet and interpersonal relationships, diet and the natural environment climate, diet and esthetics and philosophy, characteristics and dietary changes. Miss Feng looks forward to a lively discussion on this topic, hoping that the workshop will help the participants understand China from an interesting perspective.
