ABSTRACT: As an important part of Lingnan culture, the regional characteristics of Guangzhou-style life stem from historical and geographical conditions: the natural environment surrounded by mountains and water nurtures a dietary style of “For staple foods, the finer the better; for sliced meats, the thinner the better”, the thousand-year-old tradition of valuing business and being pragmatic creates a lifestyle of “not emphasizing ostentality and emphasizing comfort”, and the open and inclusive cultural traits cultivate an inner style of “pursuing innovation”. However, influenced by the fast-paced modern life, the Guangzhou-style life is gradually losing its original charm. It is of great practical significance to explore how it can adapt to modern changes and achieve sustainable development.
