In the first week of the new year, "A Bite of the Great Song" was recommended by the historical classification. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Also because of the strong score, this book has had a lot of new readers in the past few days, and it has also raised a question, which Hula Hoop is here to explain to you.

First of all, I would like to thank the friends who left a message in the book review section of this book.

Some friends compared this book with some other food books, especially those books are some old books that have long been famous, which flattered the hula hoop.

Hula hoop began to climb the grid to write online articles, but it has only been half a year, and I said that it sounds better, and the hula hoop is still a small sprout in the online literature industry, a little fresh meat, no matter in the level of writing, writing, plot conception or rhythm grasp, there is still a lack of experience.

So this new book must have a lot of deficiencies, or I inadvertently wrote something poisonous, or because I didn't check carefully, there were some sick words, or some chapters are very stiff in order to lay out the development of the story later, these are the normal problems of a newcomer.

In recent years, there have been a lot of food-themed books, and many of them are very popular, and readers compare some well-known old books with my new book, thinking that my new book is not as good as what others have written.

I agree with this view, and there is nothing to deny or refute. It is precisely because I understand that I am still a newcomer and I am not as good as others, which motivates me to work hard to improve my writing ability, and to work harder on the road that my predecessors have walked, and try to write stories with my personal characteristics.

As a novel about historical food, I have thought about it for a long time and consulted a lot of historical stories and anecdotes about food in order to have new ideas on the basis of so many similar themes in the past.

After thinking about it for a long time, I realized that the combination of history and food, these two themes, will have a different chemical reaction.

In the grand history of our Chinese civilization for 5,000 years, what role has food played in this process? How has food changed over time? And how have changes in our diets affected history?

To give a simple example, in ancient China, agricultural civilization was the mainstream, and all dynasties and dynasties had different fierce tribes with nomadic civilization as the mainstream in the vast grasslands of the north and countless wars in the Central Plains.

I don't think it's aggression, but I think that these wars are fought between different peoples for their own survival, and the reason for this is that survival is to eat, and for food, with food, nations can reproduce and develop, and this is all human instinct.

From our current point of view, the eating habits of the Central Plains people determine that our body size may be weaker, and we are not as strong as those nomads, but from the current point of view, although the Central Plains people have suffered several times and have even been ruled by the northern nomads several times, but in the end we are strong enough to survive and continue to grow our national population.

Our nation is the largest race in the world, and I think the reason is that our nation is the most industrious in the world, the most capable of self-reliance through its own labor and wisdom, and the use of the vast land to create food.

On the other hand, those northern nomads have either been annihilated in the long river of history, or have already migrated westward to Central Asia or Eastern Europe, and more have been continuously assimilated and integrated by our nation, becoming a member of the big family of the Chinese nation.

Taking the past as a mirror, on the other hand, the history we are experiencing now is the history of the rejuvenation and rise of the Chinese nation. As long as we continue to innovate and persist in development on the basis of tradition, our country and nation will become stronger, and those small frictions and disputes at present may be solved naturally when we return to the top of the world in a few decades.

And in this novel, it is YY that advances this process by a thousand years.

Speaking of the length of cooking, I can assure you readers and friends who like food that the food content of this book will definitely not be less, and when I was ready to describe these delicacies, I consulted a lot of information and consulted professional chef friends, trying to ensure that the food or ingredients I wrote about, except for some ingredients that were deliberately arranged to follow the male protagonist to "cross" the Song Dynasty, the others tried to restore the situation at that time.

We also try to avoid the production or production of certain foods, which are completely unreasonable. Of course, in order to increase the interest, a lot of modern delicacies were also made from new packaging and different looks during that period.

In the following content, there will also be a variety of ancient famous dishes, some of which are not exactly the same as the current practice, which is also reasonable, and at the same time, the author has also made some small food inventions according to his own opinions to entertain readers.

The new book has been updated so far, and it is only 200,000 words, so some readers feel that the content about food is not enough, and please understand it.

Hula hoops are indeed limited in their current capabilities, and there may be many things that do not meet the requirements of readers. I know this very well. But the hula hoop is cheeky to say, doesn't this also mean that the hula hoop still has a lot of room for improvement, doesn't it? Hehe.

I can only say that I will definitely do my best, continue to work harder to update, and will make up for my shortcomings, and strive to show my thoughts and wonderful stories to you as soon as possible.

On this issue, there are some thoughts of the author and the theme of this book, which I will talk about here today, and at the same time, I hope that book friends will leave more messages and put forward valuable opinions, so that I and this "Bite of the Great Song" can continue to improve and progress!

Finally, I would like to express my heartfelt thanks and sincere wishes for the New Year to all the friends who have been commenting, clicking, collecting, tweeting and checking in, and generously rewarding, and please continue to pay attention to and support me and this book, and witness our growth process!

Sincerely

Salute!
