Chinese Eat Almost Everything That Moves!

Foreigners are often shocked what Chinese eat. Many Chinese dishes make foreigners feel weird or squeamish, like dog hotpot, insects, scorpions, snakes, rats, pig's ears, heads, feet, hearts, lungs, liver, kidneys, intestines, and boiled blood.

Crazy Vegetable Variety

Crazy variety is not limited to China's "meats"… Many of China's vegetables and fruit you won't have seen or heard of before, like pomeloes, bitter cucumber, yard-long yams, tree fungi, and dozens of untranslatable weed-like plants.

Also, according to Chinese medicine food must be eaten in season to combat too much yin (cold weather) and yang (hot weather), dryness, or dampness. E.g. huge white radishes (with high yang) are very popular in winter.

Dish Names Can Be Misleading

Chinese like to give to dishes catchy names. Some names have nothing to do with their ingredients. For example:
'Husband Wife Lung Slices' is not cannibalism (which you'll be relieved is not allowed in China), but thinly sliced bovine lung, tongue, or some other cut, seasoned with chili oil.
'Ants climb trees' (蚂蚁上树 mǎyǐ shàng shù) is vermicelli with spicy minced pork.

Remember, a 'field chicken' (田鸡 tiánjī) is a frog! A tour guide or translator will help you avoid surprises. We offer our services below.

Food Is Superstitiously Symbolic

Chinese attach particular meanings to certain foods based on shapes, colors, pronunciations, and legends. Superstition and tradition dictate certain foods must be eaten for certain festivals/events to invoke a blessing.

For example, ingot-shaped dumplings mean wealth at New Year, and round mooncakes represent family reunion at Mid-Autumn. See The Symbolism of Chinese Foods.

Time Management Secrets: Getting More Done
有效地時間管理
Effective Time Management Tips   moneycrashers.com
 Eliminate the Unnecessary
 This becomes more and more true every day. Either professionally or personally, eliminating the “unnecessary” in life goes a long way in making you more productive. What do I consider unnecessary? Well, strictly speaking, anything that prevents you from reaching your particular goal. If your goal is to clean out your email inbox, then don’t spend 45 minutes on Facebook. If you have a deadline to make at work, don’t spend 25 minutes per day fielding unnecessary phone calls. Put simply, you need to draw a firm, distinct line between the “necessary” and “unnecessary” in your life. The stricter you define these terms, the more you’ll find that a lot of things are truly unnecessary in your life.

Plan Your Work
 If you go into work every day having no idea what you want to accomplish, then guess what? You’ll probably accomplish nothing. Set aside ten to fifteen minutes before work and either write down or mentally plan what you want to accomplish. Personally, I plan my work each morning as I am driving in to work. These several minutes that I spend planning contribute more towards me being productive and effective than anything else that I do. After you decide what you want to accomplish, then execute the plan.

 Multitasking
Multitasking skills are a talent that not all of us possess. Realizing whether you are the type of person that can do it or not is important. If you’re able to multitask, great. If you’re not, then don’t bother trying. Many people make themselves less effective by trying to multitask when they simply can’t do it. This leads to multiple projects being started and none of them being finished, sloppy work, and discouragement.

Reduce Interruptions
 And finally, reduce the number of interruptions in your life. Realistically, you can’t reduce the number of things that are going to interrupt you, but you can alter the fashion in which you deal with them. If I am working on something important and one of my employees comes to me with something that I know can be dealt with at a later time, guess what? That’s exactly what I do. “Sure, we can get to that, but let me finish what I am doing right now and then we’ll take care of it.” You see? Respectfully, I put them off to complete what I was doing at the moment. On the other hand, if my boss calls me when I’m in the middle of something, well, that’s an interruption that is worth making a priority.
