        Confucius's thought have extensive knowledge and profound scholarship, the analects of Confucius set Confucius thought of dacheng, including food have thought, and the concept of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) can be traced to the health, has on people's health activities still has positive significance. The food raises ideas pass through the analects of Confucius encyclopedia, with "XiangDang" article more concentrated. The contents of the article is to give priority to, combined with modern food to raise awareness of the problem to explain briefly, in order to deepen our understanding of the analects of Confucius food to raise the understanding of the concept.

        Confucius's thought is mainly the food raises "two not tire of", "ten don't feed", "three caloric restriction" and "lay food principle", "food medicine principle" and so on five aspects.

        "Two not tire of" is said food not too clean up, fish do not worry about processing have to fine. The former includes the food in the dust clean, sundry carry except clean, mildew and insect damage part clean up and so on, the latter including the fish in the foul clean, injurant processing clean, contact the implements of the fish clean, etc.

        Confucius's this thought, the first reflected the people's diet health concept. Food in the growth, recovery, transportation, processing process, pollution is unavoidable. Whether belong to the physical and chemical factors, can give a person body harm. Especially mildew food, especially the harm to human body, it produces aflatoxin is one of main carcinogens, the carcinogenicity than nitrosamines class big 75 times, is the main cause of liver cancer. In 1960, a British farms breeding 100000 turkeys all deaths, and finally find the cause of death was contains aflatoxin moldy feed. Later, and have many scientists in the rats, duck, trout and animal experiments also draw the same conclusion. The world health organization and the food and agriculture organization for the content of aflatoxin in food for the strict regulation, the maximum allowance shall not be more than thirty over one billion. The provisions of our country more specific, namely rice, corn, peanut, edible oil, the content per kilogram shall not exceed 10 microgram; Beans and other food and fermentation food, in per kilogram shall not exceed 5 microgram; The baby's milk replacer may not be detected in its existence.

        Food besides, we can in the general sense of the "food" understood to include mainly with vegetables all the edible crops. Such as vegetables, in the growth process will suffer from a variety of bacteria, pathogenic microorganism erosion, usually, people see vegetables on the surface the full of stains or spots little it is they leave toxin "crime". Eat the vegetables, health hazards to the body is inevitable. Therefore, the vegetables clean also shall implement the principle of "not tire of fine". Modern pesticide use, can't guarantee vegetables no residual, seminal plasma fine washing is all the more necessary and important. Eat not to the disinfection of fruit, also can give the body harm. Because fruit in the fertilization, picking, transporting, selling process already infected with a lot of bacteria and eggs. Someone sampling checked pear and tomatoes, 2500 a pear, 2130 a spotted with escherichia coli, 86 all the tomato is stained with escherichia coli, and there are 57 with Hui eggs, and from every milliliter washing water can be detected 250000 bacteria.

        "Kuai not tire of fine", including for meat vegetables processing, cooking method is strictly required. Cooking methods and technology, and it is directly affect their nutrition and taste. Therefore, our ancestors through long-term practice accumulation, created like little immersion fast cutting, JiHuo stir fry, use iron pan, cover pot, right amount add vinegar and other scientific processing, cooking methods, the meat and vegetable nutrition protection and get the taste of delicious play an effective role.

        The thought of Confucius, the second reflect is the people at that time to food is given priority to, fish, supplemented by the traditional way of life. Writing in the spring and autumn period and the warring states period of traditional Chinese medicine books huangdi, has made clear the Chinese with "grain for raise, five fruit for help, five livestock for profit, five vegetables for imitation" dietary principle. In "the analects" of Confucius also mention the "grain" (rice, millet, wheat, millet, travancore) concept, and many places mentioning staple food and fusi relationship topic. China's agricultural country status is determined since ancient times, to plant food is given priority to, the principle of animal food is also so gradually formed. The diet structure, can satisfy the human body for protein kind, energy supplies class, the class nutrients metabolism of demand, and the modern "Chinese residents dietary guidelines" suggested standard is consistent. According to eat food every day the heat calculation, food, vegetables, and so on carbohydrates should be 60% ~ 65%; Meat and edible oil kind, legume fat in, should be 20% ~ 30%; Eggs, dairy, meat, fish protein, should be 10% ~ 15%. All sorts of vitamins and minerals is uneven distribution in the above all kinds of food, as long as widely eating all kinds of food, is generally not be lacking.
