The Chinese have a rich gastronomic culture that pervades every facet of their lives. It is no wonder that overseas, many Chinese open restaurants, and statistics also show that most of the workers in the food industry tend to be Chinese.
Although possessing a rich food culture, much of it is lost due to a common practice called 留一手 (liú yī shǒu) or staying back one hand. The old masters,
jealous that their apprentices may outshine them usually modified recipes, or refused to teach them a trick or two, so that that could not rival them. Because of this, many recipes are now lost to time, or have been so drastically altered from its original form. The current generation of chefs lament about how much knowledge and flavours could have been lost to the ages because of this trick.
Fortunately, there are now efforts to preserve and codify Chinese cuisine to preserve it for future generations.
