Why don't Cantonese eat Chili?

1, as the saying goes, relying on mountains to eat, relying on water to draft. Guangdong is near the sea and likes to eat seafood. Seafood is light and delicious and should not be spicy. Over time, Cantonese people have no habit of eating spicy food.

Guangdong is hot in summer and the temperature is not low in winter, so it is not necessary to rely on pepper to keep out the cold. What's more, peppers are very angry and easy to get angry when eaten. This kind of anger is not easy to radiate from the inside out in warm and humid climate conditions, so Guangdong people have not eaten Chili since ancient times.

3. Cantonese people know how to keep fit. The spirit of fitness runs through Guangdong's food culture, and the salty taste centered on spicy taste is harmful to health, so there is no market in Guangdong. This is the influence of traditional food culture.

Guangdong is rich in marine resources. The annual output of marine aquatic products such as offshore and offshore fishing, fish culture in seawater cages and coastal aquaculture reached 3.74 million tons; The cultivable area is 775,700 hectares, and the actual cultivable area is 208,200 hectares. The output of cultured pearls in Leizhou Peninsula ranks first in China.

There are also many excellent port resources along the coast. Guangzhou Port, Shenzhen Port, Shantou Port and Zhanjiang Port have become important passages for China's domestic and international transportation and trade. Daya Bay, Mirs Bay, Jieshi Bay, Bohe Bay and Nan 'ao Island also have port sites, and large-scale deep-water ports can be built. Many oil wells have been drilled in oil and gas fields outside the Pearl River Estuary and Beibu Gulf.

Coastal wind energy, tidal energy and wave energy all have certain development potential. There are many beaches along the coast of Guangdong, the climate is warm, and mangroves are widely distributed and have a large area. At the southernmost tip of Chinese mainland, there is the only coral reef on the continental margin in China. ?

Dongfang Province belongs to the East Asian monsoon region, and it has subtropical climate, subtropical climate and tropical climate from north to south in turn. It is one of the areas with the richest light, heat and water resources in China.

From north to south, the annual average sunshine hours increased from less than 1500 hours to more than 2300 hours, the annual total solar radiation was between 4200 and 5400 mj/m2, and the annual average temperature was about 19℃-24℃.

Guangdong is rich in precipitation, with the annual average precipitation of 1300 ~ 2500mm, and the average of the whole province is 1777mm. The spatial distribution of rainfall is basically high in the south and low in the north. Affected by topography, there are three rainy centers on the windward slope of the mountain, which are Enping, Haifeng and Qingyuan, which are beneficial to the formation of precipitation due to water vapor uplift, with an average annual precipitation of more than 2200 mm.

The average annual precipitation in Luoding Basin and Xingmei Basin on leeward slope, as well as the coastal Leizhou Peninsula and Chaoshan Plain with little rain is less than 1400 mm ... The precipitation is unevenly distributed during the year, and the precipitation in flood season from April to September accounts for more than 80% of the whole year. The interannual variation is also great, and the precipitation in rainy years is more than twice that in dry years. ?

Floods and droughts often occur, and the impact of typhoons is more frequent. Low temperature and rainy weather in spring, cold dew wind in autumn and cold wave frost from late autumn to early spring are also frequent disastrous weather in Guangdong.
