“Culinary Arts of Sichuan Cuisine” - Skill of Intangible Cultural Heritage Experiential Study Tour

I. Project Introduction

While China is an ideal place to feed your appetite, Sichuan is the best place to satisfy your taste buds.

Sichuan cuisine has come into being since ancient times and is an important part of the Chinese diet.

As early as the Qin and Han Dynasties, Sichuan cuisine has already stepped onto the historical stage. At the end of the 3rd century BC, First Emperor of Qin achieved great unification of the Chinese nation. A large number of Central Plains immigrants brought cooking techniques to Bashu and merged with the local food culture, gradually forming a set of special Sichuan cooking techniques. During the Tang and Song Dynasties, Sichuan cuisine developed into a major style of cooking in China. In the Qing Dynasty, peppers were introduced into China, adding another flavor to Sichuan cuisine and making the Sichuan dishes more diversified and cooking techniques further improved. After thousands of years of integration and development, the fame of Sichuan cuisine has spread all over the world and has become one of the four main schools of Chinese food culture, being praised highly by diners at home and abroad. 

“Culinary Arts of Sichuan Cuisine” - Skill of Intangible Cultural Heritage Experiential Study Tour aims to let students feel “the joy of cooking, the fun of eating, the way of health preserving, and the journey of learning” by experiencing the culinary skills of Sichuan cuisine and learning the traditional Sichuan culture.
