status of the Qi-Lu culture in the Chinese traditional culture. The “one mountain” refers

the cultural root of the Chinese nation. The “one river” refers to the Yellow River, which
empties into the sea here. The “one sage” refers to the Confucius. The core of the Qi-Lu

fragrant, fresh, crisp and tender. The coastal Jiaodong Cuisine (mainly comprised of
