The memories of taste in spring
LIANG Xiaoyan • 2024
The taste of Baitang spring food starts from the Spring Festival. It carries that the differences between offering to Gods and Men, the boundaries between emic and etic view, and the changes brought about by time. I have spent 8 years filming the villege Baitang. Now knowledge about livelihoods, festivals, etc, are passed down in the form of food tastes, through the villagers' oral narration.
