The Analects of Confucius, a collection of quotations from Confucius and his disciples, ranks tenth in the Cultural Relics Party. The original text reads as follows:
Qi will change dishes and the house will move. Never tire of food, never tire of food.
Eat clean, fish are hungry and meat is defeated; Do not eat evil; It stinks and does not eat.
Translation:
The food used for fasting and sacrifice can't be like ordinary diet, and the materials and processing should be particularly clean and exquisite. People who take part in fasting should leave their homes and stay in the fasting room. At present, the rice used for sacrifice should be cooked with whole rice as far as possible, and the grains should be as fine as possible.
Rice is hot and humid, even stinking, and the fish is rotten and can't be eaten; You can't eat if the color is different, and you can't eat if the smell is abnormal.

Confucius' students and later Confucian masters wrote his diet theory into the chapter of "Xiang Dang". Mainly because, in ancient times, the township party refers to the "township drinking ceremony." The annual "Village Drinking Ceremony" is actually a large-scale folk education activity on the spot.
The "dietetics" mentioned by Confucius here is a summary of the dietary etiquette norms of "rural drinking ceremony" This includes not only the etiquette of sacrificing food, but also the code of conduct for treating people. His idea is a "bottom-up" etiquette, not his personal attention to food.
Confucius' eight-character proposition that food is fine but not greasy and meticulous was put forward by him on the general principles of sacrifice at that time. Confucius advocated that the sacrificial food should be clean, beautiful and sincere. The two words "essence" and "fineness" should be understood in the productive forces and living conditions of Confucius' era in order to get a correct understanding. The essence advocated by Confucius is that in view of the fact that ordinary people often eat rough millet, it is advocated that the rice used for sacrifice is better than polished rice.
Meat is eaten after being cut. In order to remove the fishy smell of raw meat, it must be cut thin, delicious and easy to chew and digest. Confucius asked that when making sacrificial food, the best raw materials should be selected and the processing should be fine, so as to achieve the will within his power. It can be seen that Confucius' dietary thought is based on the worship of Confucianism and benevolence.
