From stanzas on food and wine in the 'Book of Odes' to the articulation of refined dining in 'The Dream of the Red Chamber' and Su Shi's literary recipe for attaining culinary perfection, lavish textual representations help explain the unique appeal of food and its overwhelming cultural significance within Chinese society. |
