This book intends to comment on the eating habits of Shanghainese. The so-called eating appearance literally refers to the behavior, words and deeds when eating and drinking, which shows a persons self-cultivation when eating. Looking at a persons food, you can roughly know the persons family background, education background, experience, personality and principles of life. The concept of this book is broader, and also includes deep-seated issues of food culture, such as fairness, morality, environmental protection, and civilization.
