　　The first Chinese solar term cuisine is to conduct in-depth research on Chinese food culture through the twenty-four solar terms. We want to guide everyone how to eat through each different solar term.

Therefore, I think the holding of Chinese solar terms is a guide (function) for the national catering industry, especially some specialty restaurants. They will guide consumers how to eat and how to be healthy according to different solar terms.

　　[Commentary] The "Chinese Twenty-Four Solar Terms Vegetables" (Sichuan Vegetable Rolls) and "Ziyang Twenty-Four Solar Terms Vegetables" were also released at the conference site. The two books systematically sort out the cultural connotation of China’s twenty-four solar terms and dig deeper. The food customs and cultural traditions of the 24 solar terms in Sichuan Province, especially Ziyang City, detailed the Sichuan-style 24 solar terms dishes developed with strong local characteristics.

　　In an interview with reporters, Wang Haidong, chairman of the Youth Celebrity Chef Club of the World Chinese Food Federation, said that with the inclusion of the "Twenty-Four Solar Terms" in the World Intangible Heritage List, various regions are actively carrying out the excavation, sorting, inheritance and innovation of solar terms. Fourteen solar terms dishes should also fully demonstrate the characteristics of Sichuan cuisine with a wide range of ingredients, variable seasonings and diverse dishes.

　　Twenty-four solar terms dishes are the ingredients we produce in this season. We use this kind of ingredients and cooking techniques to make a preparation and adjustment.

In fact, in Sichuan, if we organically combine twenty-four solar terms dishes with this Chinese food, we must use our local Sichuan tastes. We have "one dish, one style, a hundred dishes and a hundred flavours" (special flavor), based on it. We fill in (make some) according to the season.
