In Ancient China, meat dishes referred to the dishes with pungent ingredients such as onion, ginger, garlic and leek that were considered to influence one's temperament and desire in religious. Until to the Tang Dynasty (618-907), meat dishes were given the new definition which is the dishes cooked by animal ingredients. They always contain too much fat, but they are indispensable in people's daily life, for different ingredients have different nutritious elements. For example, goose and duck meat benefits heart, chicken soup is helpful for cold and bronchitis, and pork liver benefits the eyes. The materials of meat dishes can be cooked just after cutting into necessary shapes or through initial processing. However, most of them have fishy smells, so spices are necessary for cooking meat dishes, such as prickly ash seeds, cardamom (cao guo) and star anise (da hui xiang).
