“I just want something tasty to eat.” — Du Yi, after turning into a snake.
“The Harvest Lord’s simple declaration—‘I just want something tasty to eat’—profoundly reveals how culinary philosophy drives the advancement of civilization.

This ancient wisdom of ‘the Dao united with its vessel’ not only resolves the crisis of alienation brought about by modernization, but also establishes a developmental paradigm of harmony between heaven and man, offering intellectual inspiration for the building of a shared human community.” Empowering Civilization Through Nutritional Science
