| Popis: | 107 Taiwan is an immigration society. In the past when agriculture was the dominant form of production, people led their lives according to the seasons, holding different festivals throughout the year including Chinese New Year, Tomb Sweeping Day, Lantern Festival, Dragon Boat Festival, Ghost Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival, etc., most of which are concerned with paying respect to ancestors, praying for blessings and protection against disasters, remembrance and reunion. Placed within their cultural context, these festivals are often celebrated with representative dishes that are equally imbued with cultural significance. Through festive food people are able to experience and pass on cultural traditions. And over the years, an expansive industry chain also developed around it, making festive cuisine widely available in traditional markets, chain supermarkets and local restaurants. However, with mass production also comes the dissolution of traditional culture. This research hopes to modernize festive food for contemporary consumers through innovative culinary recipes and practices that are reminiscent of traditional flavors. It will review major Taiwanese festivals, their cultural backgrounds as well as modern implications, and compile these materials into a food book. The book will focus on 53 dishes, organized into three main categories: New Year Celebration (Reunion Dinner), First Full Moon Festival; Mid-Year Festivals — Tomb Sweeping, Dragon Boat, and Mid-Autumn; Winter Nourishment — Winter Solstice, etc. It will incorporate local ingredients, various Taiwanese cultural traditions, festive culture and highlights, while also meet contemporary emphases on health, nature and convenience. Keywords:traditional festivals, festive food, food book, culinary culture, modernization |
