Sima Qian wrote in "Records of the Grand Historian", "The king regards the people as heaven, while the people regard food as heaven." Food is the memory of the taste buds on the tongue, and also the medium of local cultural inheritance. This is true not only for cultural relics, but also for Sanxingdui.
