China covers a large territory and has many nationalities, hence a variety of Chinese food with different but fantastic and mouthwatering flavor. Since China's local dishes have their own typical characteristics, generally, Chinese food can be roughly divided into eight regional cuisines, which has been widely accepted around. Certainly, there are many other local cuisines that are famous, such as Beijing Cuisine and Shanghai Cuisine.
中國(guó)地域遼闊，民族眾多，因此各種中國(guó)飲食口味不同，卻都味美，令人垂涎。因?yàn)橹袊?guó)地方菜肴各具特色，總體來(lái)講，中國(guó)飲食可以大致分為八大地方菜系，這種分類(lèi)已被廣為接受。當(dāng)然，還有其他很多著名的地方菜系，例如北京菜和上海菜。
Shandong Cuisine 山東菜系
Consisting of Jinan cuisine and Jiaodong cuisine, Shandong cuisine, clear, pure and not greasy, is characterized by its emphasis on aroma, freshness, crispness and tenderness. Shallot and garlic are usually used as seasonings so Shangdong dishes tastes pungent usually. Soups are given much emphasis in Shangdong dishes. Thin soup features clear and fresh while creamy soup looks thick and tastes strong. Jinan cuisine is adept at deep-frying, grilling, frying and stir-frying while Jiaodong division is famous for cooking seafood with fresh and light taste.
山東菜系，由濟(jì)南菜系和膠東菜系組成，清淡，不油膩，以其香，鮮，酥，軟而聞名。因?yàn)槭褂们嗍[和大蒜做為調(diào)料，山東菜系通常很辣。山東菜系注重湯品。清湯清澈新鮮，而油湯外觀厚重，味道濃重。濟(jì)南菜系擅長(zhǎng)炸，烤，煎，炒，而膠東菜系則以其烹飪海鮮的鮮淡而聞名。
Shandong is the birthplace of many famous ancient scholars such as Confucious and Mencius. And much of Shandong cuisine's history is as old as Confucious himself, making it the oldest existing major cuisine in China. But don't expect to gain more wisdom from a fortune cookie at a Shandong restaurant in the West since fortune cookies aren't even indigenous to China.
山東是許多著名學(xué)者的故鄉(xiāng)，例如孔夫子和孟子。許多山東菜的歷史和孔夫子一樣悠久，使得山東菜系成為中國(guó)現(xiàn)存的最古老的主要菜系之一。但是不要期望在西方國(guó)家的山東菜館里從簽餅(中國(guó)餐館的折疊形小餅,內(nèi)藏有預(yù)測(cè)運(yùn)氣話語(yǔ)的紙條)獲得更多的好運(yùn)氣，因?yàn)楹烇炘谥袊?guó)也不是本土的。
Shandong is a large peninsula surrounded by the sea to the East and the Yellow River meandering through the center. As a result, seafood is a major component of Shandong cuisine. Shandong's most famous dish is the Sweat and Sour Carp. A truly authentic Sweet and Sour Carp must come from the Yellow River. But with the current amount of pollution in the Yellow River, you would be better off if the carp was from elsewhere. Shandong dishes are mainly quick-fried, roasted, stir-fried or deep-fried. The dishes are mainly clear, fresh and fatty, perfect with Shandong's own famous beer, Qingdao Beer
山東是個(gè)巨大的被向東流去的大海環(huán)繞的半島，黃河曲折的流經(jīng)其中部。因此海鮮是山東菜系的主要構(gòu)成。山東最著名的菜肴是糖醋鯉魚(yú)。正宗的糖醋鯉魚(yú)必須打撈自黃河。但是因?yàn)楝F(xiàn)在黃河的眾多污染，其他地方的鯉魚(yú)更好一些。山東菜主要是速炸，燒烤，炒或深炸。菜肴清新肥美，搭配山東本地的著名啤酒——青島啤酒就完美了。

Sichuan Cuisine, known often in the West as Szechuan Cuisine, is one of the most famous Chinese cuisines in the world.

如果你吃四川菜，發(fā)現(xiàn)它過(guò)于柔和，那么你可能吃的不是正宗的四川菜。紅綠辣椒被用在許多菜肴中，帶來(lái)特別的辣味，在中國(guó)文字里叫麻，通常會(huì)在口中留下麻木的感覺(jué)。然而，多數(shù)青椒是在18世紀(jì)從美國(guó)傳入中國(guó)的，因此你應(yīng)當(dāng)為四川菜的精妙而感謝全球貿(mào)易。四川火鍋也許是世界上最出名的火鍋，尤其是半辣半清的鴛鴦火鍋。
