Fujian cuisine is one of the eight major cuisines in China, which has been gradually formed through the mixing and exchange of the Han culture of the Central Plains and the local ancient Yue culture. Fujian is a famous hometown of overseas Chinese in China, and the new varieties of food and some novel condiments introduced by overseas Chinese abroad have also had a non-negligible impact on enriching Fujian's food culture and enriching the content of Fujian's cuisine system. After long-term exchanges between the Fujian people and the people of overseas, especially the people of the Nanyang Islands, the overseas food customs have gradually penetrated into the dietary life of the Fujian people, so that Fujian cuisine has become a unique cuisine with open characteristics.
As early as the "Yongjia Rebellion" during the two Jin Dynasty and the Northern and Southern Dynasties, a large number of Yiguanshi from the Central Plains entered Fujian, bringing advanced science and technology culture from the Central Plains, mixing and exchanging with the ancient Yue culture in Fujian, and promoting the development of the local area. In the late Tang Dynasty, the brothers of Wang Shenzhi of Gushi, Guangzhou, Henan Province, led troops into Fujian to establish the "Fujian State", which played a positive role in promoting the further development and prosperity of Fujian's food culture. For example, before the Tang Dynasty, the Central Plains began to use red yeast rice as a cooking ingredient.
