China News Service, Beijing, January 27th, "Food is the most important thing for the people."

The word "Xunwei" is of great significance to the Chinese.

The second episode of "2023 Chinese Poetry Conference" "Taste of Taste", which premiered on the evening of the 26th, shared the poet's joy of tasting delicious food, savoring poetry and life's various tastes.

Looking for flavors, looking for all kinds of flavors in the world

  "Tulips in Lanling fine wine, amber in a jade bowl" refers to the mellow aroma of fine wine;

The guest of the program, Kang Zhen, a professor of the School of Liberal Arts of Beijing Normal University, said: "All the delicacies in the world come from the pursuit and taste of life. No matter how rich life is, there will be such rich taste. There are thousands of different tastes in the world. You and I, and become more varied, with a variety of flavors. I also wish the audience that they can live out their own taste."

  "Cooking sheep and slaughtering cattle is a pleasure, and you will have to drink three hundred cups" is the most heroic taste; "Moxiao Farm's Lajiu is pure, and there are enough chickens and pigs to keep guests in good years" is the most reassuring taste; "Egrets flying in front of Xisai Mountain "Peach Blossom Flowing Water Mandarin Fish Fat" is the most elegant taste.

In the eyes of Mengman, a professor at the School of History and Culture, Minzu University of China, every taste is picked from nature and brewed through life, which contains the ups and downs of a life.

  "I laugh at myself all my life as a busy mouth, but when I get old, my career turns absurd. The Yangtze River circles around the country to know the beauty of the fish, and the bamboo is connected to the mountains to feel the fragrance of the bamboo shoots." The "Cloud" group of thousands recited Su Shi's "First Arrival in Huangzhou".

Back then, when the poet was relegated to Huangzhou, he took pleasure in suffering and happiness in misfortune. Although he was in the trough of his life, he was still able to calm down and tease himself, and his open-mindedness was vivid on paper.

The audience also followed the on-site collective recitation to taste the fragrance of fresh fish and bamboo shoots in Huangzhou, and felt the poet's broad mind.

Looking for taste, looking for the best taste in the world

  A picture of "Surfing the River During the Qingming Festival", a piece of prosperous scenery in the Northern Song Dynasty.

"Surfing the River during the Qingming Festival" is a long custom scroll created by Zhang Zeduan, a painter of the Northern Song Dynasty. He described in detail the prosperity inside and outside Bianjing, the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty. It can be called an encyclopedia of social life in the Northern Song Dynasty.

In this issue of "Scenario Answering Questions", the contestants followed the "immersive performance" into the bustling Bianjing.

The host, Long Yang, and two commenting guests "stepped" into the picture scroll of "Surfing the River During the Qingming Festival", strolled on both sides of Bianjing, and tasted Bianjing snacks.

  Why are oranges called "Qianmu slaves"?

It turns out that this is the story of Li Heng, the prefect of Danyang.

At the end of the Han Dynasty, Li Heng was a clean and honest official. In his later years, he sent people to plant thousands of oranges in Sizhou, Longyang, Wuling.

Before he died, he said to his son: "Your mother hates me for running the family, so you are so poor. However, there are thousands of wooden slaves in my state, and they don't take care of your food and clothing. A piece of silk at the age of one year is enough for your ears." Later, Li Heng's son really lived a stable life with the money he got from selling oranges.

  Small oranges were regarded as family heirlooms in ancient times. Nowadays, many rural areas rely on fruit planting to embark on the road to wealth and realize rural revitalization.

Creation of wealth by hard work is the same principle from ancient times to modern times. The real heirlooms are hardworking hands and intelligent brains.

Looking for taste, looking for the taste of life

  "Facing the wall for ten years and trying to break the wall, it is difficult to reward a hero for crossing the sea." In today's world, high-speed rail is a shining business card for China. Zhou Chong, a contestant in this issue of "Hundred Lines Group", is an engineer of CRRC.

To this day, when Zhou Chong takes the high-speed rail, he still feels very proud.

  "The birds love the old forest, the pond fish think about the old abyss", accompanied by this ancient poem, Ma Baoli, the "poetic captain", appeared in front of the audience.

As an outstanding contestant in the fourth season of "Chinese Poetry Conference", this time Ma Baoli appeared as a group of relatives and friends. The two daughters who came with him encouraged their father with "the grass has its own heart, why ask for a beauty".

The intergenerational inheritance of Chinese classical poetry among poetry lovers is reflected at this moment.

  Xu Haixia, the folk writer, brought "Pancake Flower".

Colorful pancakes are made into more than a dozen kinds of flowers.

Even everyday food like pancakes can also create a poetic life.

The bright and beautiful spring described in "Easy to know the Dongfeng side, colorful and colorful is always spring" is presented to the audience by blossoming "pancake flowers".

  Another folk writer, Yang Zhiwei, used food sculptures to show the poems in his heart.

As an ancient art, food carving was often limited to themes such as flowers in the early days, but with the study and refinement of generations of working people, it is now possible to present works with different themes such as figures, fish and birds.

Yang Zhiwei used the traditional skill of food carving to show the magnificent scene of "the eagle hits the sky, and the fish flies in the shallow bottom".

  "2023 Chinese Poetry Conference" will be broadcast for ten consecutive episodes starting on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, with CCTV-10 premiering at 120:00 and CCTV-10 broadcasting at 21:40 the next day.
