3. Dietary Concept

3.1 The Chinese dietary concept

    As long as you come to taste chinese food, it’s not difficult for you to find that Chinese diet could be said as a sense of beauty diet. For example, people sample dishes, they very often say that this dish is “delicious”, and that dish is “not delicious”. But if you ask what do they meant by “delicious” , why “tasty” and what are the aspects of “delicious”, how to define the idea of “delicious”. It will be very difficult to give an exact or relatively satisfactory answer. This shows that what Chinese people hanker on a diet is just the “mood” , and it is difficult for one to identify anything. Even using the “color, flavor, shape and implement” which people often said to make the “realm” reification, it’s still hard to crown all. 

     The beauty pursuit of Chinese cuisine is clearly overriding the rational pursuit. This concept of diet is also coinciding with the traditional Chinese philosophy. Chinese philosophy as a representative of oriental philosophy, its distinguished features is the macro, visual, vague and evasive. Chinese cooking method is trying all ways to reconcile, and the ultimate goal is to make it beautiful taste. The main stress is measure and co-ordination. It contains pretty much dialectics of Chinese philosophy, and all of these totally depend on the degree of the perfect flavor of dishes. The ever-changing within degrees decides the changeable of Chinese diet, and it also determines the characteristics of Chinese cuisines, as well as the characteristics on each of all kinds of chefs.

3.2 The American dietary concept 

     Most people acknowledge that the American diet is a rational dietary mode, in spite of the color, incense, flavor and shape of the food, but nutrition must be assured. It cares about the intake of calories, vitamins, protein, etc. Comparing with the Chinese diet, American diet tastes stereotyped, just like chewing the candle. However, sense tells them: We must eat them all so that we could take in the nutrition. And then they put it bluntly, just the same as the  refueling machine.文献综述

The concept of American diet is compatible with the whole American philosophy. Metaphysics is the main character of American philosophy. Such kind of philosophy brings vitality to American culture, so do the natural sciences, psychology and methodology, they all achieve a rapid development. In some other aspects, such philosophy proposition is a significantly obstacle, such as the dietary culture, which is the inevitable thing to drop behind, and just the metaphysics of methodology marks everywhere. In celebration, it stresses tableware, stresses the staple, stresses the servings, and stresses the color and shape mix of raw materials. But no matter how luxurious the grade is, it is no art to speak that from Los Angeles to New York, only one taste of steak. And as dishes, the chicken is chicken; steak is steak, even in groups, which are also conducted in a shallow dish. In a dish of “French Muttonchops”, one side is potato mud, and muttonchops sits next to it, another side is the allocation of cooking beans, and plus a few tablets of tomato. Color is on clear, but the tastes of the various materials are separated, not to reconcile, and the entire flavor is also simple and clear enough.
