Reasons for building the Museum

"The beginning of husband's ceremony begins with diet." Huaiyang cuisine, rooted in Jianghuai culture, has a long history and profound accumulation. As one of the "four major cuisines" in China, Huaiyang cuisine is "harmonious, refined and fresh" and "ingenious and agreeable to all tastes". It has won the reputation of "the best taste in the southeast and the most beautiful in the world" with the characteristics of "local materials, meticulous local cooking, five flavors harmony and common people's creation". Huaian is one of the main birthplaces of Huaiyang cuisine. As the earliest human settlement in Jiangsu Province, Huai'an has a moderate climate, surrounded by rivers and lakes, and rich food, which provides a material basis for the creation of delicious food. There is an archaeological evidence of food civilization in Huai'an, which can be traced back to the "xiacaowan culture" in the late Paleolithic period, about 40000-50000 years ago. In the long process of food culture evolution since then, the pursuit of health and longevity, health and health with food has gradually become a folk custom. In her masterpiece Qifa, Mei Cheng, a native of Huaiyin in the Western Han Dynasty, listed the earliest Chinese diet menu for the prince of Chu, which shows the rich diet and high cooking skills of the nobility at that time. If Li Bai's "yellow chicken stewed in wine" has become a famous dish of Huai cuisine, then "nine meals for one chicken" is a real skill: the clever daughter-in-law of a poor scholar slaughters the only chicken for the hospitality, and uses its different parts to make nine delicious dishes. Today, "Xuyi hand Catching lobster" and "Hongze small fish potstickers", which are popular both at home and abroad and known as "Chinese fast food", are also transplanted and improved from the tables of farmers and fishermen. These culinary cultural traditions and the exquisite cooking skills of thousands of "home dishes" are the inexhaustible source for the development of Huaiyang cuisine.

In ancient times, Qinghe played an important role in the prosperity of Huaiyang cuisine. Especially in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, as "the thoroughfare of nine provinces" and "the important place for salt discussion", officials and businessmen gathered here. The prosperous flow of people from south to north greatly promoted the innovation of cooking technology and the prosperity of food culture. Today's Qinghe, as the main venue of the annual Huaiyang cuisine culture festival and the central urban area of "Huaiyang cuisine town", bears more responsibilities and plays a greater role in promoting Huaiyang cuisine culture.
