Chinese cuisine, like the country itself, as marked by diversity and variety - and that's understating things. With its thousand-year-old history, Chinese civilization gave birth to eight great cooking traditions. of course, this doesn't even include the other cooking schools (Beijing and Western) and those that developed overseas.
