In 1896, the first modern Olympic Games was held in Athens, Greece. Since then, many countries have successfully held the Olympics, such as England, France, Germany, Canada, the U.S.A., Spain and Australia. After more than a century, the games returned to its hometown.

When people hold the Olympic Games, they always make an emblem（会徽）.The emblem of the Athens Olympic Games was a white circle of love branches in the sky.

In 2004, Athens developed a spirit of peace. An officer said, "While in Athens, the world should be at peace. We hope the peace is not just for a short time. We would like the message from the Athens Games to help countries come together and solve their problems."

The Olympic Games has been held in China. And China has already made a seal（图章）as the emblem of the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games. The emblem has a single Chinese character on a red seal and means "Chinese seal — dancing Beijing". The character in the emblem is "Jing". It means the capital of China and it is like a runner or a dancer. The running figure（人形）of the emblem shows the spirit of the Olympics — faster, higher and stronger.

There are many TV programs on Chinese cuisines(烹饪、美食)，but few are like A Bite of China. It tries to bring something new by introducing more cultural features related to dishes, such as eating habits and wonderful stories about food.

It's said that more than 100 million Chinese people are watching the program. Most Chinese people see this program as more than just the regular food shows. They see it as an amazing documentary providing a special view of Chinese as well as the relations between people and food and between people and society.

On the other hand, the documentary also stimulates(刺激)Chinese people's consumption(消费). Taobao, one of China's biggest online shopping sites, reports that the search on food items that were introduced by the documentary（纪录片） has increased to 4 million times within one week, and sales have increased to 5.82 million, or 20%. 

To get enough good stories, the production team spent three months doing research and interviews in about 60 cities before they started making the documentary last July. Filming lasted about nine months.

Liu Wen, the director, says "As CCTV-9 serves as a window. allowing the world to better understand China, the documentary aims to help the world not only appreciate(欣赏) the beauty of Chinese cuisines ,but also learn Chinese customs."
