Attitudes toward food and commensality constituted a central fiber
in the social, religious, and political fabric of ancient Chinese
society. The offering of sacrifices, the banqueting of guests, and
the ritual preparation, prohibition or consumption of food and
drink were central elements in each of China's three main religious
traditions: the Classicist (Confucian) tradition, religious Daoism,
and Buddhism. What links late Shang and Zhou bronze vessels to
Buddhist dietary codes or Daoist recipes for immortality is a
poignant testimony that culinary activity - fasting and feasting -
governed not only human relationships but also fermented the
communication between humans and the spirit world. In Of Tripod and
Palate leading scholars examine the relationship between secular
and religious food culture in ancient China from various
perspectives.
