In ancient China, kitchens were an important part of the household. They were typically located at the back of the house, away from the living areas. Chinese kitchens were equipped with a hearth for cooking, as well as various utensils and cookware. The Chinese cuisine is known for its diverse flavors and cooking techniques. They used a wide variety of ingredients, including rice, noodles, vegetables, meats, and seafood. Adding a chalkboard wall to an ancient Chinese kitchen would provide a convenient space for writing down recipes, keeping track of menus, and making notes about ingredients and cooking methods.
