Beijing cuisine originated in the Liao and Jin Dynasties, took shape in the 
Ming and Qing Dynasties, developed in more modern times, and now thrives in the 
contemporary era. Characterized by cooking techniques such as stir frying, 
baking and simmering, it is a rich and heavy cuisine, reliant on soy sauce for 
flavor, and has a crisp taste. Careful selection of materials is paramount, as 
is meticulous cutting and shaping, as well as preparation and cooking rules. 
With great cultural significance, this style of cooking combines many flavors, 
and has very distinct Beijing characteristics. 

According to Yun Cheng, Chairman of the Beijing Cooking Association, well-known 
Beijing cuisine stores and the renowned Beijing snacks are popular with people 
from all walks of life and of all ages. The Beijing Cuisine Culinary Cultural 
Festival aims to develop, organize and promote the Beijing dietary culture. 
These moves are designed to ultimately build a strong China Beijing Cuisine 
landscape, improve the quality of catering in the national capital and nurture 
the catering market, so that it flourishes, and gives great pleasure to diners.
