As a traditional Chinese medicine, Guangdong Xinhui dried tangerine peel has a long history of medicine and a wide range of clinical application value. According to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, dried tangerine peel is warm in nature, pungent and bitter in taste, and has the effects of regulating qi and invigorating the spleen, drying dampness and resolving phlegm. It is often used to treat the symptoms of cough and phlegm caused by abdominal distension and fullness caused by spleen stomach qi stagnation, less food and vomiting and diarrhea. Historic evidence suggests that the longer the peel is aged, the higher are the health benefits. Generally, the aging time ranges from one year to more than a decade; up to 30 years of aging has been reported.(MDPI Journal,2024)  The medicinal value of dried tangerine peel increases with the aging age because of its “Old age makes good", which is also an important reason why dried tangerine peel is highly respected. Rational use of dried tangerine peel can not only play its medicinal value, but also play a role in health care in daily diet.

The unique geographical environment and climatic conditions in the south of the five ridges gave birth to the unique Xinhui dried tangerine peel culture. Xinhui dried tangerine peel is a kind of treasure food material, which can be used for cooking, porridge, soup, wine and so on. When cooking meat dishes such as fish and meat, adding some dried tangerine peel can not only remove the fishy smell and the greasiness, but also improve the freshness and aroma. (Guangdong Xinhui dried tangerine peel: raising the sail of culture and starting the journey of youth [N], 2024) Beef balls with dried tangerine peel, steamed fish with dried tangerine peel, dried tangerine peel mung bean paste, aged duck soup with dried tangerine peel and other dishes, it can be seen everywhere. Lingnan chefs are well-versed in the art of using dried tangerine peel to enhance umami flavors. Even simple porridge can instantly sublimate the taste by adding a piece of dried tangerine peel. The essence of Lingnan food culture lies in the wisdom of turning decadence into magic seasoning.

This golden peel is deeply loved by Lingnan people because of its unique aroma and slightly bitter sweet flavor. In the modern diet trend, the value of dried tangerine peel has been newly interpreted. Taking a milk tea brand Xicha as an example, its “Zhizhi ganpu(芝芝柑普)" drink skillfully combines Xinhui dried tangerine peel with Yunnan Pu'er, and is paired with a cheese milk cover, which not only retains the aging aroma of dried tangerine peel and the mellowness of Pu'er, but also gives it a younger taste expression, so that young consumers can feel the charm of Lingnan culture on the tip of their tongue. (Baidu Baijia, 2025) At the same time, “Zhizhi ganpu(芝芝柑普)" has also enabled many consumers to understand Jiangmen Xinhui ganpu and Jiangmen urban culture from a cup of milk tea,  and spreading the regional culture of Xinhui dried tangerine peel to the whole country and promoting the development of local economy.

==Similar cultural connotations between Guangdong Xinhui dried tangerine peel and Italian Prosciutto di Parma==
 +
 
 +
When talking about Guangdong Xinhui dried tangerine peel, I can't help thinking of western ham, such as Prosciutto di Parma, the representative of European traditional meat products, because both have similar cultural connotations. Prosciutto di Parma is a specific breed of pig raised under controlled conditions. The hind legs are certified, salted, and cured through a multi-stage drying process. After proper aging in ventilated rooms and cellars, the hams undergo quality testing before being fire-branded with the Parma mark and finally packaged in the designated production area.(European Commission, (n.d.))

Although Guangdong Xinhui dried tangerine peel and Italian Prosciutto di Parma are derived from different dietary traditions, they share profound cultural connotations. Dried tangerine peel, as a model of the same origin of traditional Chinese medicine and food, reflects the health wisdom of the Chinese people. The Italian Prosciutto di Parma is rooted in animal husbandry culture, showing the European respect for lands, varieties and time. Both of them strictly protect the origin with geographical indications, but dried tangerine peel emphasizes the Oriental philosophy of medicine and harmony, while ham highlights the western spirit of food material and hedonism. Both of them carry the essence of profound regional culture, complete the sublimation of flavor in the long process of aging or ripening, and finally become a “time art" across food and culture, and become a treasure in their respective food culture.

Guangdong Xinhui dried tangerine peel is not only of significant medicinal value, but also a carrier of Lingnan culture. Through the analysis of the historical origin, medicinal value and cultural function of Guangdong Xinhui dried tangerine peel, we can see its importance in the Lingnan region and the whole country. From the successful practice of Xicha “Zhizhi ganpu(芝芝柑普)" drink, it can be seen that strengthening the innovative inheritance of dried tangerine peel culture needs to combine traditional elements with modern consumer demand. Through the comparison with western ham, we can know that there are many similarities in cultural inheritance and industrial development between the two. Like Prosciutto di Parma, Xinhui tangerine peel also has distinctive regional characteristics and strict production standards, and has undergone the transformation process from local specialties to world-famous products. In order to further promote the development of tangerine peel, we should learn from the successful experience of brand operation of western characteristic agricultural products, find out the problems existing in the development of Xinhui dried tangerine peel industrialization, and put forward operable countermeasures and suggestions from the levels of enterprises, industries and governments. (Research on the current situation and Countermeasures of industrialization development of Xinhui tangerine peel in Jiangmen City [J], 2016) We can further optimize and enhance the dried tangerine peel industry in terms of standardized production, quality certification, cultural output, etc., and strive to promote the healthy development of Xinhui dried tangerine peel industry, so as to realize the leap forward development from traditional specialty to international famous brand.

==陈皮的历史渊源==
 +
 +
陈皮,顾名思义,是存放时间较久的柑橘皮,从来源上看,陈皮主要由橘子及其栽培变种的成熟果皮制作而成。其历史可以追溯到东汉时期,当时《神农本草经》一书中记载了陈皮来源于芸香科植物橘成熟果实的干燥外层果皮,并指出其药用价值。(陈皮炮制的历史沿革研究[J],1998)在中国,广东新会、福建、四川等地都是陈皮的主要产地,其中,广东新会的陈皮更是以其独特的品质和功效闻名遐迩,新会适宜的气候、肥沃的土壤等得天独厚的地理环境也为柑橘的生长提供了绝佳条件,也造就了新会陈皮独一无二的风味和价值。
 +
 +
 +
==陈皮的特性与药用价值==
 +
 +
新会陈皮的外观呈现橙红至棕褐色,表皮油室密集分布,内层则呈浅黄白色,随着年份增长,其质地会从最初的脆硬逐渐变得柔韧有光泽。陈皮的香气独特而富有层次,新皮散发着清新明快的柑橘果香,而经过岁月沉淀的老皮则转化出醇厚的药香与甜香,年份越久远,香气越发沉稳悠长。这种色、香、味的完美结合,正是新会陈皮历经时光淬炼的独特魅力所在。
 +
 +
新会陈皮作为一味传统中药材,具有悠久的药用历史和广泛的临床应用价值。中医理论认为,陈皮性温,味辛、苦,归脾、肺经,具有理气健脾、燥湿化痰的功效,常用于治疗脾胃气滞所致的脘腹胀满、食少吐泻等引起的咳嗽痰多等症状。历史证据表明,果皮老化时间越长,对健康的益处就越大,老化时间一般为一年至十年以上,最长可达30年。(MDPI期刊,2024)陈皮“陈久者良”的特性使其药用价值随陈化年限而提升,这也是陈皮备受推崇的重要原因。合理使用陈皮不仅能发挥其药用价值,还能在日常饮食中起到养生保健的作用。
 +
 +
 +
==陈皮与岭南生活文化==
 +
 +
一方水土孕育一方文化,岭南地区独特的地理环境和气候条件,孕育出了独具特色的新会陈皮文化。新会陈皮是美食界的“宝藏食材”,能用于做菜、煮粥、煲汤、泡酒等。在烹调鱼、肉之类的荤菜时,加入一些陈皮,不仅能去腥解腻,还起到提鲜增香的作用。(广东新会陈皮:扬文化之帆启芳华之程[N],2024)陈皮牛肉丸、陈皮蒸鱼、陈皮绿豆沙、陈皮老鸭汤等菜式里处处可见其身影。岭南厨师深谙“陈皮提鲜”之道,即便是简单的白粥,加入一片陈皮也能瞬间升华滋味,这种化腐朽为神奇的调味智慧,正是岭南饮食文化的精髓所在。
 +
 +
这种金黄的果皮以其独特的芳香和微苦回甘的韵味,深受岭南人的喜爱,在现代饮食潮流中,陈皮的价值得到了新的诠释。以奶茶品牌喜茶为例,其推出的“芝芝柑普”饮品,巧妙融合了新会陈皮与云南普洱,再搭配芝士奶盖,既保留了陈皮的陈香与普洱的醇厚,又赋予其年轻化的口感表达,让年轻消费者在舌尖上感受到岭南文化的魅力。(百度百家号,2025)与此同时,“芝芝柑普”也让不少消费者从一杯喜茶出发,开始了解江门新会柑普与江门城市文化,向全国传播了新会陈皮这一地域文化,更促进了当地经济发展。
 +
 +
 +
==广东新会陈皮与意大利帕尔马火腿相似的文化内涵==
 +
 +
当谈及广东新会陈皮时,我会不由自主地想到西方的火腿,例如欧洲传统肉制品的代表——意大利帕尔马火腿(Prosciutto di Parma),因为两者都拥有相似的文化内涵。意大利帕尔马火腿是在受控条件下饲养的特定猪品种,后腿经过认证,腌制,并通过多阶段干燥过程固化。火腿在通风室和地窖中适当陈化后,必须经过质量检测,然后再打上帕尔玛标志,最终在指定的生产区域内进行包装。(European Commission, (n.d.))
 +
 +
广东新会陈皮与意大利帕尔马火腿虽源自不同的饮食传统,却共同承载着深厚的文化内涵。陈皮作为中医药食同源的典范,体现了中国人“陈久者良”的养生智慧;而意大利帕尔马火腿则扎根于畜牧文化,展现了欧洲人对土地、品种与时间的尊重。两者均以地理标志严格保护原产地,但陈皮更强调药用与调和的东方哲学,火腿则突出食材本味与享乐主义的西方精神,两者都承载着深厚的地域文化精髓,在漫长的陈化或熟成过程中完成风味的升华,最终成为跨越饮食与文化的“时间艺术品”,成为各自饮食文化中的瑰宝。

Key words:

Guangdong Xinhui dried tangerine peel, traditional Chinese medicine, Lingnan life culture, intangible cultural heritage


The historical origin of dried tangerine peel

Dried tangerine peel, as its name implies, is a orange peel that has been stored for a long time. From the source, dried tangerine peel is mainly made of the mature peel of orange and its cultivated varieties. Its history can be traced back to the Eastern Han Dynasty. At that time, the book Shennong’s Herbal Classic recorded that the tangerine peel came from the dried outer peel of the mature fruit of the Rutaceae plant orange, and pointed out its medicinal value. (Study on the historical evolution of orange peel processing [J], 1998) In China, Xinhui, Fujian, Sichuan and other places are the main producing areas of tangerine peel.

Among them, the dried tangerine pee of Xinhui, Guangdong Province is famous for its unique quality and efficacy. The favorable geographical environment such as the suitable climate and fertile soil of Xinhui also provides excellent conditions for the growth of citrus, and also creates the unique flavor and value of Xinhui dried tangerine peel.

Characteristics and medicinal value of dried tangerine peel

The appearance of Xinhui dried tangerine peel is orange red to tan, the oil chambers on the epidermis are densely distributed, and the inner layer is light yellow and white. With the growth of the year, its texture will gradually become flexible and shiny from the initial brittle and hard. The aroma of dried tangerine peel is unique and rich in layers. The new peel exudes fresh and lively citrus fruit aroma, while the old peel after years of precipitation transforms into mellow medicinal and sweet aroma. The longer the age, the more stable and long the aroma. This perfect combination of color, aroma and taste is exactly the unique charm of Xinhui dried tangerine peel after time refining.

As a traditional Chinese medicine, Guangdong Xinhui dried tangerine peel has a long history of medicine and a wide range of clinical application value. According to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, dried tangerine peel is warm in nature, pungent and bitter in taste, and has the effects of regulating qi and invigorating the spleen, drying dampness and resolving phlegm. It is often used to treat the symptoms of cough and phlegm caused by abdominal distension and fullness caused by spleen stomach qi stagnation, less food and vomiting and diarrhea. Historic evidence suggests that the longer the peel is aged, the higher are the health benefits. Generally, the aging time ranges from one year to more than a decade; up to 30 years of aging has been reported.(MDPI Journal,2024) The medicinal value of dried tangerine peel increases with the aging age because of its “Old age makes good", which is also an important reason why dried tangerine peel is highly respected. Rational use of dried tangerine peel can not only play its medicinal value, but also play a role in health care in daily diet.


Dried tangerine peel and Lingnan life culture

The unique geographical environment and climatic conditions in the south of the five ridges gave birth to the unique Xinhui dried tangerine peel culture. Xinhui dried tangerine peel is a kind of treasure food material, which can be used for cooking, porridge, soup, wine and so on. When cooking meat dishes such as fish and meat, adding some dried tangerine peel can not only remove the fishy smell and the greasiness, but also improve the freshness and aroma. (Guangdong Xinhui dried tangerine peel: raising the sail of culture and starting the journey of youth [N], 2024) Beef balls with dried tangerine peel, steamed fish with dried tangerine peel, dried tangerine peel mung bean paste, aged duck soup with dried tangerine peel and other dishes, it can be seen everywhere. Lingnan chefs are well-versed in the art of using dried tangerine peel to enhance umami flavors. Even simple porridge can instantly sublimate the taste by adding a piece of dried tangerine peel. The essence of Lingnan food culture lies in the wisdom of turning decadence into magic seasoning.

This golden peel is deeply loved by Lingnan people because of its unique aroma and slightly bitter sweet flavor. In the modern diet trend, the value of dried tangerine peel has been newly interpreted. Taking a milk tea brand Xicha as an example, its “Zhizhi ganpu(芝芝柑普)" drink skillfully combines Xinhui dried tangerine peel with Yunnan Pu'er, and is paired with a cheese milk cover, which not only retains the aging aroma of dried tangerine peel and the mellowness of Pu'er, but also gives it a younger taste expression, so that young consumers can feel the charm of Lingnan culture on the tip of their tongue. (Baidu Baijia, 2025) At the same time, “Zhizhi ganpu(芝芝柑普)" has also enabled many consumers to understand Jiangmen Xinhui ganpu and Jiangmen urban culture from a cup of milk tea, and spreading the regional culture of Xinhui dried tangerine peel to the whole country and promoting the development of local economy.


Similar cultural connotations between Guangdong Xinhui dried tangerine peel and Italian Prosciutto di Parma

When talking about Guangdong Xinhui dried tangerine peel, I can't help thinking of western ham, such as Prosciutto di Parma, the representative of European traditional meat products, because both have similar cultural connotations. Prosciutto di Parma is a specific breed of pig raised under controlled conditions. The hind legs are certified, salted, and cured through a multi-stage drying process. After proper aging in ventilated rooms and cellars, the hams undergo quality testing before being fire-branded with the Parma mark and finally packaged in the designated production area.(European Commission, (n.d.))

Although Guangdong Xinhui dried tangerine peel and Italian Prosciutto di Parma are derived from different dietary traditions, they share profound cultural connotations. Dried tangerine peel, as a model of the same origin of traditional Chinese medicine and food, reflects the health wisdom of the Chinese people. The Italian Prosciutto di Parma is rooted in animal husbandry culture, showing the European respect for lands, varieties and time. Both of them strictly protect the origin with geographical indications, but dried tangerine peel emphasizes the Oriental philosophy of medicine and harmony, while ham highlights the western spirit of food material and hedonism. Both of them carry the essence of profound regional culture, complete the sublimation of flavor in the long process of aging or ripening, and finally become a “time art" across food and culture, and become a treasure in their respective food culture.

To help me to write my final paper, I have used the following AI chatbot: Deepseek,Kimi.

I have prompted the chatbot with the following prompt: “西方有无与广东新会陈皮类似的产品?(Is there any product similar to Guangdong Xinhui dried tangerine peel in the west?)”

I found the following problems with the outcome: I don't know much about the products generated by AI Chatbot for the first time, and there are few similarities with Xinhui dried tangerine peel. It's difficult for domestic websites to query relevant information.

I have adjusted the output by the following measures: revising prompt as: “请介绍一些与新会陈皮有相似的生产逻辑以及文化内涵的西方产品。(Please introduce some Western products with similar production logic and cultural connotation to Xinhui dried tangerine peel.)”

Written the following passage new:

Conclusion

Guangdong Xinhui dried tangerine peel is not only of significant medicinal value, but also a carrier of Lingnan culture. Through the analysis of the historical origin, medicinal value and cultural function of Guangdong Xinhui dried tangerine peel, we can see its importance in the Lingnan region and the whole country. From the successful practice of Xicha “Zhizhi ganpu(芝芝柑普)" drink, it can be seen that strengthening the innovative inheritance of dried tangerine peel culture needs to combine traditional elements with modern consumer demand. Through the comparison with western ham, we can know that there are many similarities in cultural inheritance and industrial development between the two. Like Prosciutto di Parma, Xinhui tangerine peel also has distinctive regional characteristics and strict production standards, and has undergone the transformation process from local specialties to world-famous products. In order to further promote the development of tangerine peel, we should learn from the successful experience of brand operation of western characteristic agricultural products, find out the problems existing in the development of Xinhui dried tangerine peel industrialization, and put forward operable countermeasures and suggestions from the levels of enterprises, industries and governments. (Research on the current situation and Countermeasures of industrialization development of Xinhui tangerine peel in Jiangmen City [J], 2016) We can further optimize and enhance the dried tangerine peel industry in terms of standardized production, quality certification, cultural output, etc., and strive to promote the healthy development of Xinhui dried tangerine peel industry, so as to realize the leap forward development from traditional specialty to international famous brand.

陈皮的历史渊源

陈皮,顾名思义,是存放时间较久的柑橘皮,从来源上看,陈皮主要由橘子及其栽培变种的成熟果皮制作而成。其历史可以追溯到东汉时期,当时《神农本草经》一书中记载了陈皮来源于芸香科植物橘成熟果实的干燥外层果皮,并指出其药用价值。(陈皮炮制的历史沿革研究[J],1998)在中国,广东新会、福建、四川等地都是陈皮的主要产地,其中,广东新会的陈皮更是以其独特的品质和功效闻名遐迩,新会适宜的气候、肥沃的土壤等得天独厚的地理环境也为柑橘的生长提供了绝佳条件,也造就了新会陈皮独一无二的风味和价值。


陈皮的特性与药用价值

新会陈皮的外观呈现橙红至棕褐色,表皮油室密集分布,内层则呈浅黄白色,随着年份增长,其质地会从最初的脆硬逐渐变得柔韧有光泽。陈皮的香气独特而富有层次,新皮散发着清新明快的柑橘果香,而经过岁月沉淀的老皮则转化出醇厚的药香与甜香,年份越久远,香气越发沉稳悠长。这种色、香、味的完美结合,正是新会陈皮历经时光淬炼的独特魅力所在。

新会陈皮作为一味传统中药材,具有悠久的药用历史和广泛的临床应用价值。中医理论认为,陈皮性温,味辛、苦,归脾、肺经,具有理气健脾、燥湿化痰的功效,常用于治疗脾胃气滞所致的脘腹胀满、食少吐泻等引起的咳嗽痰多等症状。历史证据表明,果皮老化时间越长,对健康的益处就越大,老化时间一般为一年至十年以上,最长可达30年。(MDPI期刊,2024)陈皮“陈久者良”的特性使其药用价值随陈化年限而提升,这也是陈皮备受推崇的重要原因。合理使用陈皮不仅能发挥其药用价值,还能在日常饮食中起到养生保健的作用。


陈皮与岭南生活文化

一方水土孕育一方文化,岭南地区独特的地理环境和气候条件,孕育出了独具特色的新会陈皮文化。新会陈皮是美食界的“宝藏食材”,能用于做菜、煮粥、煲汤、泡酒等。在烹调鱼、肉之类的荤菜时,加入一些陈皮,不仅能去腥解腻,还起到提鲜增香的作用。(广东新会陈皮:扬文化之帆启芳华之程[N],2024)陈皮牛肉丸、陈皮蒸鱼、陈皮绿豆沙、陈皮老鸭汤等菜式里处处可见其身影。岭南厨师深谙“陈皮提鲜”之道,即便是简单的白粥,加入一片陈皮也能瞬间升华滋味,这种化腐朽为神奇的调味智慧,正是岭南饮食文化的精髓所在。

这种金黄的果皮以其独特的芳香和微苦回甘的韵味,深受岭南人的喜爱,在现代饮食潮流中,陈皮的价值得到了新的诠释。以奶茶品牌喜茶为例,其推出的“芝芝柑普”饮品,巧妙融合了新会陈皮与云南普洱,再搭配芝士奶盖,既保留了陈皮的陈香与普洱的醇厚,又赋予其年轻化的口感表达,让年轻消费者在舌尖上感受到岭南文化的魅力。(百度百家号,2025)与此同时,“芝芝柑普”也让不少消费者从一杯喜茶出发,开始了解江门新会柑普与江门城市文化,向全国传播了新会陈皮这一地域文化,更促进了当地经济发展。


广东新会陈皮与意大利帕尔马火腿相似的文化内涵

当谈及广东新会陈皮时,我会不由自主地想到西方的火腿,例如欧洲传统肉制品的代表——意大利帕尔马火腿(Prosciutto di Parma),因为两者都拥有相似的文化内涵。意大利帕尔马火腿是在受控条件下饲养的特定猪品种,后腿经过认证,腌制,并通过多阶段干燥过程固化。火腿在通风室和地窖中适当陈化后,必须经过质量检测,然后再打上帕尔玛标志,最终在指定的生产区域内进行包装。(European Commission, (n.d.))

广东新会陈皮与意大利帕尔马火腿虽源自不同的饮食传统,却共同承载着深厚的文化内涵。陈皮作为中医药食同源的典范,体现了中国人“陈久者良”的养生智慧;而意大利帕尔马火腿则扎根于畜牧文化,展现了欧洲人对土地、品种与时间的尊重。两者均以地理标志严格保护原产地,但陈皮更强调药用与调和的东方哲学,火腿则突出食材本味与享乐主义的西方精神,两者都承载着深厚的地域文化精髓,在漫长的陈化或熟成过程中完成风味的升华,最终成为跨越饮食与文化的“时间艺术品”,成为各自饮食文化中的瑰宝。

Both of them carry the essence of profound regional culture, complete the sublimation of flavor in the long process of aging or ripening, and finally become a “time art" across food and culture, and become a treasure in their respective food culture.
