”Benxizhai Shu Shi Pu” is a renowned cookbook in the Southern Song Dynasty, as well as the representative diet writing of literati in the same period. Unlike the cookbooks in the former dynasties, in addition to offering practical cooking tips, this book also integrates aesthetics, cultivation and delight with the life and culture of literati. It became a diet literature embodying the value of literati. The review on this book shows that, although the content and cooking skills are simple, the preface, postscript and compliments reflect abundant cultural implications. There have always been doubts over the author, book title and era of completion of ”Benxizhai Shu Shi Pu”. This study intends to investigate this book by probing into its content, format and diet characteristics to understand its meaning and value in die literature.
