It is an important part of [[Chinese culture]]. This [[food]] comes from many different parts of China and also the food made by [[Overseas Chinese]] that live in other parts of the world. Because there are a lot of Chinese [[Immigration|immigrants]] around the world, and because China was very important in the past, many food from other [[Country|countries]] in Asia have been affected by Chinese food. Important parts of Chinese food are [[rice]], [[soy sauce]], [[noodles]], [[tea]], and [[tofu]]. Tools like [[chopstick]]s and the [[wok]] are also very important. The four most important types of Chinese food are [[Sichuan food]] (Chuan), [[Shandong food]] (Lu), [[Guangdong food]] (Yue), and [[Huaiyang food]]. They each represent the food made in the western, northern, southern, and eastern parts of the country.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.cits.net/china-travel-guide/four-major-cuisines-in-china.html|title=Four Major Cuisines in China|website=CITS|access-date=19 April 2020}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://sallybernstein.com/food/cuisines/china/b.htm|title=The four cuisine regions of China|last=Timmons|first=Rachel|website=Sally's Place|access-date=19 April 2020}}</ref> ==References== {{reflist}} ==Other websites== * {{commonscat-inline}} * {{wikivoyage-inline|Chinese cuisine}} * {{cookbook-inline|Cuisine of China}} {{Asia-stub}} {{Food-stub}} [[Category:Chinese food| ]]
