But in Taiwan, you ask 10 people, at least 8 people will tell you "barbecue". Every year around the Mid -Autumn Festival, there will be a grilled fragrance in all parts of Taiwan. Every family moves out of a small bench, or a barbecue rack is set up on the community square or on the open space. In addition to the simplest toast grilled pork slices, there are various seafood such as chicken legs, chicken wings, chicken skewers, and shrimp and clams.

Barbecue form is eclectic

A survey in Taiwan showed that as high as 80 % of the people on the island have the habit of Mid -Autumn Festival barbecue, and the market size is expected to be NT $ 48.1 billion. Recently, a Taiwan website counts the top ten most popular Mid -Autumn Festival barbecue in Taiwan through big data. The first one is the barbecue area of ​​Taoyuan Huanthan Park. Of course, people can also go to barbecue or restaurant barbecue with relatives and friends, there are more tricks there, Angus cattle, Japanese and cattle, lobster, emperor crab, etc., can basically bake everything. The price is also rich. This year, the Mid -Autumn Festival barbecue parties launched by various restaurants in Taiwan this year, ranging from two to three hundred yuan to two or three thousand yuan, can meet the needs of different levels.

People on the island are keen to barbecue, and businesses will naturally not let go of such opportunities. Taiwan media said that because the "outdoor baking order" was canceled this year, the barbecue stoves, grilled meat racks, and card stoves were sold on the e -commerce platform. The sales of barbecue supplies on a shopping website increased by 50%, and the search volume of keywords also increased significantly. Among them, the "barbecue stove" increased by about 35%, the electric baking tray increased by 20%.

How to become "Mid -Autumn Festival Three Treasures"

Before the grilled meat is popular, in addition to eating moon cakes in the Mid -Autumn Festival, the Taiwanese will also prepare sour and juicy Wen Dan pomelo with fragrant and fragrant. As for why barbecue became "Mid -Autumn Festival Treasure", there are many sayings. The more popular is the television advertisement of "One Barbecue" soy sauce in 1967. After a few years, Jinlan soy sauce also launched the Jinlan barbecue sauce TV advertisement. Coupled with the hard sip of several large supermarkets, the Taiwanese have unknowingly regarded barbecue as the most important event in the Mid -Autumn Festival since the 1980s and 1990s. However, some people later verified that the advertisement of "a barbecue" is likely to be available in the 1960s, but the connection between barbecue and Mid -Autumn Festival is not so early.

Someone sorted out the newspaper and found that Taiwan's "People's Livelihood" reported on October 3, 1982 that the Mid -Autumn Festival barbecue activity prevailed in the Hsinchu area because Hsinchu City was a base for making ovens. Bashing meat starts. Coupled with the waves of Jinlan barbecue sauce and Wanjiaxiang soy sauce in the future, the barbecue gradually squeezed the moon cakes and Wendan pomelo, becoming the representative food of the Mid -Autumn Festival.

After thirty or forty years, the Mid -Autumn Festival barbecue has become a habit of people in Taiwan. After 2000, all parts of Taiwan held large -scale barbecue activities in the open space in the evening of the Mid -Autumn Festival. Taking 2005 as an example, Taipei, Taichung, Tainan, and Kaohsiung all have such activities, which have participated in tens of thousands of people.

In September 2015, the "Ministry of Defense" in Taiwan suddenly ordered barbecue in the camps. It was believed that it was not good for health, but it was scolded. Opponents say that barbecue is not combat, and occasionally harmless, otherwise it should be banned from smoking, because nicotine is more harmful to health. In 2020, one thing that happened in Taiwan attracted the attention of the island. The man named Yang was suspected to be disagree with his parents for a long time. He argued that it was caused by accidental fire when barbecue, and the prosecutor believed that the evidence pointed at him. However, the final judgment said that the man in the Mid -Autumn Festival was reasonable and could not be judged as a deliberate arson.

Hidden cultural password for barbecue meat

In recent years, air pollution and health problems caused by barbecue have attracted attention. Patients with colorectal cancer have ranked first in the island for more than ten years. But it seems that nothing can stop Taiwanese enthusiasm for the Mid -Autumn Festival barbecue. Even if the epidemic is raging, they are still grilled. In September 2020, the Taoyuan Xinduxin Life Culture Association held "10,000 people to seal the street barbecue" in the 19th consecutive year, and registered tens of thousands of people in less than 3 days, more than the number of people in previous years. Professor Lin Baochun, a professor of Taiwan Normal University, lamented, "Taipei City is open several places for citizens to enjoy the joy of barbecue. Tanlian District, Zhongli District, Taoyuan City, is even more fragrant and lively." Recently, the epidemic on the island heated up, but Tainan City Organization announced on September 3 that 1,000 people and each person will pay 299 yuan for NT $ 299 to "seal the street barbecue", which has caused controversy.

An article entitled "Barbecue: Social Business Opportunities from Life to Cooked" believes that barbecue is a way of diet that breaks away from daily life. On the one hand, the space of barbecue is mostly outdoors, which makes people out of the original daily life space. It also increases the ritual of barbecue itself. The barbecue scene is a combination of "kitchen" and "dining room". Everyone has the opportunity to participate, and it is easier to achieve the effect of "eating together" and connect with each other's emotions. During the barbecue process, the participants experienced the smell of each stage together, and after the end, they changed their taste. "This sense of smell makes people have collective sensory experience and feelings and enters a state of blending." The article concludes that the "to cooked from life" not only occurs in cooking, but also symbolizes the evolution of human civilization, but also a metaphor of a relationship.

Taiwanese scholars try to interpret the "cultural password" hidden in the Mid -Autumn Festival barbecue.Zhao Zhesheng, assistant professor of the Department of Information Communication at Kaiman University, believes that in the future, the Chinese people like to be lively. In the migration and gathered flow of the Mid -Autumn Festival, we find our own organization and cultural gathering model.From negative thinking, the popularity of barbecue indicates that the sensitivity of Taiwanese people to the festival is reduced, and the too assimilated consumption behavior has led everyone to miss the differences or collisions of the soul.Love and things in the moon symbol ".【Edit: Li Ji】
