民以食为天,中华美食地图Food Is Heaven, Map of Chinese Cuisine
《民以食为天,中华美食地图》是一件两米乘八米的纸上水墨地图作品。2025年10月,它在北京鱼市口前门美食节的公共现场展开:菜系、食材、地名、传说、口味、迁徙路线和市井记忆被组织成山川水系。地图不是单纯的地理图,而是一种关于中国饮食经验的知识图谱:火锅、豆腐、米饭、甜食、海味和地方食谱都成为地貌、河流与岛屿。观众在观看地图时,也进入一场关于吃、迁徙、地方经验和共同生活的阅读。Food Is Heaven, Map of Chinese Cuisine is a two-by-eight-meter ink work on paper. Presented at the Beijing Yushikou Qianmen Food Festival in October 2025, it organizes cuisines, ingredients, place names, legends, tastes, migration routes, and urban memory into a terrain of mountains and rivers. Rather than functioning as a conventional map, it becomes a knowledge graph of Chinese food culture: hot pot, tofu, rice, sweets, seafood, and local recipes appear as landforms, waterways, and islands. To look at the map is also to read eating as migration, locality, ecology, and shared life.
