Discover Song Qi: Chinese Cuisine in São Paulo & Monaco!
Song
is one of the greatest Chinese dynasty that ruled from 960 to 1279, in Northern and Southern China. It was synonymous of strength and power. The dynasty is seen as a time of economic, cultural and social prosperity and often coined the Chinese “renaissance”. Song was the first government in the world to issue banknotes, use gunpowder, indicate North and above all set up rice farming globally.
Qi
is an essential notion in the Chinese culture. It is the active principle forming and moving the universe and life. It can be found in any representation of nature and has an expressive notion of “breath”, spirituality, and power in the West. Qi is associated to the number 3 and, in its sign form, Chinese people see the “mi” symbol that could be translated etymologically by “energy made by rice absorption”.
