Are you good at eating? 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 broadcast by CCTV. Can you find any holiday celebrated without a special festival food? Food is very important in China. Here are several traditional Chinese foods:

Eggs hold a special meaning in many cultures. Chinese believe that eggs mean producing something new. For example, after a baby is born, parents may hold a " feast 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, the number(1,3,5…) for a girl, and (2,4,6…) for a boy.

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

Another very popular food during the Dragon Boat Festival is Zongzi. This tasty food 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.

The 50-minute program tries to bring something new by presenting more cultural elements(元素),such as eating habits and the quality of eating.
