The culture of Chinese cuisine also embodies original Chinese philosophy concept. The art form that represents this culture comes in two folds, geometry form and form of nature, which mainly consists of animal figures.
Geometry symbols: In social rituals, the all-time theme is where human life comes from. It is mother's body of the universe that breeds all living things on earth. What does it look like? Chinese believed that it was like the shape of steamed bread with a round sky (and flat earth) and red beans inside. Therefore, they made "wonton" to celebrate birth. The theme on wedding ceremony is to produce life through matching male and female, yin and yang. Therefore, the gift bread is "cereal twist," a geometry code imitating inter-winding of yin-yang, with jujubes in between as symbol of life. When life ends, it goes back to the "wonton" universe, then there would be no more red bean in the steamed bread. However, a red dot or a rotating code is painted on the top to symbolize the sun. In custom festivals, when the land warms up to start spring, traditional food for Chinese is "iiaozi'(dumpling) and "hezi", homonym for making kids.
