Mushrooms——Different elements of Chinese Traditional Culture

29-07-2023

Mushroom, in a broad sense, is the Chinese term for all edible fungi. Be it hazel mushroom in Northeast China, oyster mushroom in North China, mushroom in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, straw mushroom in Lingnan, chicken fir in Yunnan and morels in Western regions… They can all be summed up by the universal term "mushroom."

In a narrow sense, mushroom refers to the biological concept of bisporus mushroom, and the Chinese also call it "white mushroom".

As an ingredient, mushrooms clearly point to the origin of Chinese civilization and bear witness to the country's great history of expansion and ethnic integration. It is Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism in the rivers and lakes of the Chinese people, the elegant ode in poetry, and the spring and autumn of the home on the table.

In terms of the background color of mushrooms should start from the origin of "mushroom". In the eyes of farming civilization, macrofungi are a kind of food shrouded in mystery. It does not depend on seeds, like melons and fruits, and unlike vegetables and plants, which depend on sunlight to grow. For most of history, people could not grow mushrooms, nor did they know the conditions under which they would reproduce and grow. Only in the wild can we occasionally obtain this fresh food ingredient full of amino acids. Romantic Chinese people believe that fungus has no roots, no roots, no intangible body, is the adoption of the spirit of heaven and earth and the essence of the born sun and moon. It is natural that fungus has also made its way to the palace of the best ingredients in Chinese cuisine. "Lu's Spring and Autumn Annals" recorded: "The taste of beauty, the more Luo bacteria." In the pre-Qin period, the agricultural development of Baiyue land south of the Yangtze River was very low, and the wild mushrooms obtained there would be sent thousands of miles to the vassals of the Central Plains, which shows that the Chinese people valued mushrooms at that time.
