Because of the Chinese diaspora and historical power of the country, Chinese cuisine has profoundly influenced many other cuisines in [[Asia]] and beyond, with modifications made to cater to local palates. Chinese food staples such as [[rice]], [[soy sauce]], [[noodles]], [[tea]], [[chili oil]], and [[tofu]], and utensils such as [[chopsticks]] and the [[wok]], can now be found worldwide.

[[Chinese aristocrat cuisine|Imperial royal and noble preference]] also plays a role in the change of Chinese cuisine. Because of imperial expansion, immigration, and trading; ingredients and cooking techniques from other cultures have been integrated into Chinese cuisines over time, and Chinese culinary influences have also spread across the world. There are numerous regional, religious, and ethnic styles of Chinese cuisine found within China and abroad. Chinese cuisine is highly diverse and most frequently categorised into provincial divisions, although these province-level classifications consist of many more styles within themselves.

The first domesticated crops seem to have been the [[foxtail millet|foxtail]] and [[broomcorn millet|broomcorn]] varieties of [[millet]], while [[rice]] was cultivated in the south. By 2000 BC, wheat had arrived from western Asia. These grains were typically served as warm [[noodle]] soups instead of baked into bread as in Europe. Nobles hunted various wild game and consumed [[Lamb and mutton|mutton]], pork and [[Dog meat#Mainland China|dog]] as these animals were domesticated.

It has spread to South Korea where it is known as ''[[Jajangmyeon]]''.]] Where there are historical immigrant Chinese populations, the style of food has evolved and been adapted to local tastes and ingredients, and modified by the local cuisine, to greater or lesser extents. This has resulted in a deep Chinese influence on other national cuisines such as [[Cambodian cuisine]], [[Filipino cuisine]], [[Singaporean cuisine]], [[Thai cuisine]] and [[Vietnamese cuisine]]. There are also a large number of forms of [[fusion cuisine]], often popular in the country in question. Some, such as [[ramen]] ([[Japanese Chinese cuisine]]) have become popular internationally. Deep-fried meat combined with [[sweet and sour]] sauce as a cooking style receives an enormous preference outside of China. Therefore, many similar international Chinese cuisines are invented based on sweet and sour sauce, including Sweet and sour chicken (Europe and North America), Manchurian chicken (India) or ''[[tangsuyuk]]'' (South Korea). The [[Hawaiian pizza]] was inspired by Chinese sweet and sour flavors.

In [[Korean Chinese cuisine]], the dishes derive primarily from [[Shandong cuisine]] while [[Filipino Chinese cuisine]] is strongly influenced by [[Fujian cuisine]].

Chinese people typically eat three meals a day. Breakfast is served around 6–9am, lunch is served around 12–2pm, and dinner is served around 6–9pm.<ref name=":2" /> Within the Chinese culture, families do follow different traditions. In some families, the elderly members and youngsters get their meal first, then the mother and father, and then the children and teenagers.<ref name=":2" /> Other families have the male and female eat separately at different seating area.<ref name=":1" /> Whatever tradition the family decide to follow, it is intended to show respect to members of the family. Late night meals served from 9pm-4am and similar to the Western concept of [[supper]] is known as [[siu yeh]]. == Relation to Chinese philosophy and religion == [[File:Mooncake1.jpg|thumb|upright|[[Mooncake]], eaten during the Mid-Autumn Festival]] Food plays various roles in social and cultural life. In [[Chinese folk religion]], [[Ancestor veneration in China|ancestor veneration]] is conducted by offering food to ancestors and Chinese festivals involve the consumption and preparation of specific foods which have symbolic meanings attached to them. Specific religions in China have their own cuisines such as the [[Taoist diet]], [[Buddhist cuisine]] and [[Chinese Islamic Cuisine]]. The [[Kaifeng Jews]] in [[Henan]] province once had their own Chinese Jewish cuisine but the community has largely died out in the modern era and not much is known about the specifics of their cuisine but they did influence foods eaten in their region and some of their dishes remain.<ref>[http://www.flavorandfortune.com/dataaccess/article.php?ID=864 Kaifeng, Capital and Culinary] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181014165059/http://www.flavorandfortune.com/dataaccess/article.php?ID=864 |date=14 October 2018 }}, Flavor and Fortune</ref> Chinese dishes with purported Kaifeng Jewish roots include Kaifeng xiao long bao, Mayuxing bucket-shaped chicken, Chrysanthemum hot pot, and Four Treasures.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Kaifeng: A Chinese Jewish Haven |url=http://www.flavorandfortune.com/ffdataaccess/article.php?ID=1475 |access-date=1 February 2023 |website=www.flavorandfortune.com}}</ref> Food also plays a role in daily life. The formality of the meal setting can signify what kind of relationship people have with one another, and the type of food can indicate ones' social status and their country of origin.<ref name=":1" /> In a formal setting, up to sixteen of any combination of hot and cold dishes would be served to respect the guests. On the other hand, in a casual setting, people would eat inexpensive meals such as at food stalls or homemade food. The typical disparity in food in the Chinese society between the wealthy and everyone below that group lies in the rarity and cost of the food or ingredient, such as shark fins and bear paws.<ref name=":1" /> Depending on whether one chooses to have rice or a meal that is made of wheat flour such as bread or noodles as their main source of food, people within a similar culture or of a different background can make an assumption of the other's country of origin from the south or north of China. Different foods have different symbolic meanings. [[Mooncake]]s and [[dumpling]]s are symbolic of the [[Mid-Autumn Festival|Mid-autumn festival]] and the Spring Festival, respectively.<ref name=":1" /> [[Pear]] symbolizes bad luck due to its similarity in pronunciation of 'away' in the native language and noodle means living a long life for its length.<ref name=":1" /><ref name=":2">{{Cite web|date=20 April 2019|title=Chinese Food Culture - Understand your behavior when eating in China|url=https://www.yumofchina.com/chinese-food-culture/|access-date=14 November 2021|website=Yum Of China|language=en-US|archive-date=8 November 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211108031347/https://www.yumofchina.com/chinese-food-culture/|url-status=dead}}</ref> In Chinese philosophy, food frequently conveys a message.

Chinese culture initially centered around the [[Central Plain (China)|North China Plain]]. The first domesticated crops seem to have been the [[foxtail millet|foxtail]] and [[broomcorn millet|broomcorn]] varieties of [[millet]], while [[rice]] was cultivated in the south. By 2000 BC, wheat had arrived from western Asia. These grains were typically served as warm [[noodle]] soups instead of baked into bread as in Europe. Nobles hunted various wild game and consumed [[Lamb and mutton|mutton]], pork and [[Dog meat#Mainland China|dog]] as these animals were domesticated. Grain was stored against famine and flood and meat was preserved with salt, vinegar, curing, and fermenting. The flavor of the meat was enhanced by cooking it in animal fats though this practice was mostly restricted to the wealthy.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.ibiblio.org/chineseculture/contents/food/p-food-c01s01.html|title=The Cultural Heritage of China :: Food & Drink :: Cuisine :: Introduction|last=Wertz|first=Richard R.|website=www.ibiblio.org|access-date=2 May 2016}}</ref> By the time of [[Confucius]] in the [[Warring States period|late Zhou]], gastronomy had become a high art.

When it was cooked bad, man would not eat. When the meat was not cut properly, man would not eat. When the food was not prepared with the right sauce, man would not eat.

It has spread to South Korea where it is known as ''[[Jajangmyeon]]''.]] Where there are historical immigrant Chinese populations, the style of food has evolved and been adapted to local tastes and ingredients, and modified by the local cuisine, to greater or lesser extents. This has resulted in a deep Chinese influence on other national cuisines such as [[Cambodian cuisine]], [[Filipino cuisine]], [[Singaporean cuisine]], [[Thai cuisine]] and [[Vietnamese cuisine]]. There are also a large number of forms of [[fusion cuisine]], often popular in the country in question. Some, such as [[ramen]] ([[Japanese Chinese cuisine]]) have become popular internationally. Deep-fried meat combined with [[sweet and sour]] sauce as a cooking style receives an enormous preference outside of China. Therefore, many similar international Chinese cuisines are invented based on sweet and sour sauce, including Sweet and sour chicken (Europe and North America), Manchurian chicken (India) or ''[[tangsuyuk]]'' (South Korea). The [[Hawaiian pizza]] was inspired by Chinese sweet and sour flavors. Apart from the host country, the dishes developed in overseas Chinese cuisines are heavily dependent on the cuisines derived from the origin of the Chinese immigrants. In [[Korean Chinese cuisine]], the dishes derive primarily from [[Shandong cuisine]] while [[Filipino Chinese cuisine]] is strongly influenced by [[Fujian cuisine]]. [[American Chinese cuisine]] has distinctive dishes (such as [[chop suey]]) originally based on Cantonese cuisine, which are more popular among non-Chinese Americans than with [[Chinese Americans]] themselves.<ref>Andrew Coe, ''Chop Suey: A Cultural History of Chinese Food in the United States'' (2009)</ref><ref>Yong Chen, ''Chop Suey, USA: The Story of Chinese Food in America'' (2014)</ref> According to the report released by China's largest on-demand service platform in 2018, there are over 600,000 Chinese restaurants overseas.

In some families, the elderly members and youngsters get their meal first, then the mother and father, and then the children and teenagers.<ref name=":2" /> Other families have the male and female eat separately at different seating area.<ref name=":1" /> Whatever tradition the family decide to follow, it is intended to show respect to members of the family.

In [[Chinese folk religion]], [[Ancestor veneration in China|ancestor veneration]] is conducted by offering food to ancestors and Chinese festivals involve the consumption and preparation of specific foods which have symbolic meanings attached to them. Specific religions in China have their own cuisines such as the [[Taoist diet]], [[Buddhist cuisine]] and [[Chinese Islamic Cuisine]].

The formality of the meal setting can signify what kind of relationship people have with one another, and the type of food can indicate ones' social status and their country of origin.<ref name=":1" /> In a formal setting, up to sixteen of any combination of hot and cold dishes would be served to respect the guests. On the other hand, in a casual setting, people would eat inexpensive meals such as at food stalls or homemade food. The typical disparity in food in the Chinese society between the wealthy and everyone below that group lies in the rarity and cost of the food or ingredient, such as shark fins and bear paws.<ref name=":1" /> Depending on whether one chooses to have rice or a meal that is made of wheat flour such as bread or noodles as their main source of food, people within a similar culture or of a different background can make an assumption of the other's country of origin from the south or north of China. Different foods have different symbolic meanings. [[Mooncake]]s and [[dumpling]]s are symbolic of the [[Mid-Autumn Festival|Mid-autumn festival]] and the Spring Festival, respectively.<ref name=":1" /> [[Pear]] symbolizes bad luck due to its similarity in pronunciation of 'away' in the native language and noodle means living a long life for its length.<ref name=":1" /><ref name=":2">{{Cite web|date=20 April 2019|title=Chinese Food Culture - Understand your behavior when eating in China|url=https://www.yumofchina.com/chinese-food-culture/|access-date=14 November 2021|website=Yum Of China|language=en-US|archive-date=8 November 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211108031347/https://www.yumofchina.com/chinese-food-culture/|url-status=dead}}</ref> In Chinese philosophy, food frequently conveys a message.
