Japanese cuisine means traditional style Japanese food
Rice was usally boiled plain and called gohan or meshi,Peasants often mixed millet with rice. In 675 A.D Emperor Temmu decreed the eating of cattle, horse, dogs, monkeys, and chickens during the 4th and 9th months of the year if you broke the law it would be a death sentence. Monkey was eaten to in a ritualistic style for medicinal purposes.Chickens were often pets.A cow or horse would be ritually sacrificed on the first day of rice paddy cultivation, a ritual introduced from China.But people could still eat deer or wild boar, which were important to the Japanese diet.The 8th century had many additional decrees made by emperors and empresses on the ban of killing of animals.One emperor even decreed fishing.www.localwin.com/.../lu10/japenese_cuisine.jpg

Sichuan


Here we are. Stuck in the Sichuan province. "I don't know anybody-", "SHUT UP!!!" Amanda tells me, Joe. We are lost in the province of Sichuan. We keep screaming and running up and down the streets. We are trying to make it through the day. Rusty's memories kept coming back on how he got mugged. He's a fighter, but couldn't come. Not this time. We took him to a hospital and he quit the race.
Sichuan is a populated place. Since it is inbetween western China (the more non-heavily populated side) and eastern China (the more heavily population density) it is in the middle when it comes to population.






  1. Sichuan means "four rivers."


  2. Sichuan is a state of China.

  3. There is a Giant Panda Research Base in Sichuan, because the population is so low, they keep the Giant Pandas there and raise the population.

  4. There are five chinease elements in which Sichuan strongly believes in. They are water, earth, metal, fire, and wood.
  5. If you're wondering when to go over there for tempatures, this is when you would want to go, in summer because the tempatures are from 77-84.2 degrees. In winter it is 37.4-46.4 degrees average. I picked it in when it is average tempature.
