Confucius emphasized the artistic and social aspects of cookery and eating. The Chinese don’t gather together without involving food - it is considered to be poor etiquette to invite friends to your home without providing appropriate food.

7 Influence of Taoism “eat to live ”
On the other hand, Tao encouraged research into the nourishment aspects of food and cookery. Rather than concentrating on taste and appearance, Taoists were concerned with the nourishment of the body, prevention of disease and the search for longevity.

此宴是清朝皇帝为招待与皇室联姻的蒙古亲族所设的御宴。一般设宴天正大光明殿，由满族一、二品大臣坐陪。历代皇帝均重视此宴，每年循例举行。而受宴的蒙古亲族更视此宴为大福，对皇帝在宴中所例赏的食物十分珍惜。《清稗类钞*蒙人宴会之带福还家》一文中说：“年班蒙古亲王等入京，值颁赏食物，必之去，曰带福还家。若无器皿，则以外褂兜之，平金绣蟒，往往汤汁所沾，淋漓尽，无所惜也。

万寿宴是清朝帝王的寿诞宴，也是内廷的大宴之一。后妃王公，文武百官，无不以进寿献寿礼为荣。其间名食美馔不可胜数。如遇大寿，则庆典更为隆重盛大，系派专人专司。衣物首饰，装潢陈设，乐舞宴饮一应俱全。光绪二十年十月初十日慈禧六十大寿，于光绪十八年就颁布上谕，寿日前月余，筵宴即已开始。仅事前江西烧造的绘有万寿无疆字样和吉祥喜庆图案的各种釉彩碗、碟、盘等瓷器，就达二万九千一百七十余件。整个庆典耗费白银近一千万两，在中国历史上是空前的。 宴

46 九白宴nine white feast. 九白宴始于康熙年间。康熙初定蒙古外萨克等四部落时，这些部落为表示投诚忠心，每年以九白为贡，即：白骆驼一匹、白马八匹。以此为信。蒙古部落献贡后，皇帝高御宴招待使臣，谓之九白宴。每年循例而行。后来道光皇帝曾为此作诗云:四偶银花一玉驼，西羌岁献帝京罗。
