Abstract: The Man-Han feast has always been regarded as the culmination of the Chinese food culture and a synthesis of pan-Chinese dishes, but its development was not accomplished overnight. Broken down, it is simply a combination of the cuisine of the Han and the Man peoples. It is widely but mistakenly regarded as the imperial cuisine of the Qing Dynasty, to which its formation was indeed closely related though. Departing from structure of the Han cuisine and the Man cuisine, this paper analyzes the relation of the Man-Han Feast with the Qing Imperial Feast, so as to explore its real underlying cultural composition.

Key words: Man-Han Feast, Man cuisine, Han cuisine, imperial cuisine of the Qing Dynasty
