    6. Overseas Chinese's foreign effect on food culture.
    The exchange between ancient Chinese and Western food culture is from less to more, from single to rich. Prior to the Ming Dynasty, the communication channels were mainly commodity trade and envoy visit. During the Ming and Qing dynasties, the communication channels were continuously enriched and expanded. There were not only words and deeds of commodity trade and exhibitions, and exhibitions, but also the establishment of restaurants and restaurants, professional works, and school education.
    It Han and Yuan dynasties, the communication channels of Chinese and Western food culture only focused on commodity trade and envoys. The most common is that Westerners through commodity trade, by expressing their own opinions or writing into writing, spread Chinese food raw materials, catering appliances and dietary customs to Western countries. Customs and others are displayed to the Chinese. Among them, in terms of introducing Chinese food ingredients, catering appliances and dietary customs, the Italian Marco Polo has contributed greatly. The Irish Morris Cleus pointed out: The book "is not a simple travel notes, but an enlightenment work. For the occlusal Europeans, it is tantamount to deafening and showing a new knowledge area and vision for Europeans. The significance of this book lies in it that leads to the extensive rejuvenation of European humanities. "
    In the Ming and Qing dynasties, the ways of Chinese and Western food and cultural exchanges were continuously enriched and expanded, mainly including 4 aspects. First, commodity trade and display. At this time, the Dutch businessmen such as Britain, France, the United States, and Chinese trade exchanged with China. The largest goods purchased were tea and porcelain. The commodity exhibition is mainly the World Expo. According to Chen Zhanbiao's "Expo in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China", from the first World Expo in 1851, to the previous World Expo in 1911, there were Chinese tea and porcelain display, and occasionally there were honey, soybeans and its products. Second, the personnel of the exchanges speak of their body teaching. There are many types of personnel, including diplomatic envoys, missionaries, international students, businessmen, travelers and other personnel. They consciously or unconsciously spread Chinese and Western cultures including food culture. Among them, Western missionaries are outstanding. From the perspective of the Jesuit missionaries who came to China during the Ming and Qing Dynasties, there were names for those who had names, and there were 467 people in the "Biography and Books in the Chinese Jesuit". There are 920 people. The subjective purpose of their to China was to spread Catholicism, but objectively not only spread Western culture to China, but also brought back and translated Chinese classics, writing letters or writing, etc. "Collection", etc., introduces China in many ways of western society, including Chinese food raw materials, dishes and its method, dietary customs, etc.
    In addition, diplomatic envoys, international students, businessmen, etc. from China to Western countries also have some writings and related introductions, such as Zhang Deyi of the Qing Dynasty, "Navigation" and "Russia and Russia", Li Gui "Traveling around the earth's new new Record? Beauty Society ", Guo Fengming's" Italian World Expo Ji "and so on. Third, open restaurants and restaurants. This is the most specific image and visible and tasteable way to spread the Chinese and Western food culture. Most Chinese restaurants in Western countries were opened by Chinese people who moved to overseas in the Qing Dynasty. These immigrants have lack of better living skills due to war, disasters, or forcing their livelihoods. They often choose Chinese restaurants that are relatively easy to open, produce Chinese cuisine, and objectively spread Chinese food culture to the world, just like Americans Philip Fernandez said: "The spread of Chinese cooking in the world is immigrant -style, not imperial style." And Western restaurants and Western restaurants have appeared in a large number of the Opium War, and China has been forced to establish a large number of commercial ports. At first, it was only for foreign diasporas, and it started to open to the Chinese until the beginning of the 20th century. At that time, there were Six Kingdoms Hotel, Dechang Hotel, Changan Hotel, and Western -style restaurants such as Weicha Hotel, Huizhong Hotel, Dahua Hotel, etc. "
