The ingredient library encodes the five phases in Chinese, the dish facet on restaurant nodes in English; convert when crossing between them.
One concept is written in two ways in the system; take care when retrieving data:
| Where | Field | Values |
|---|---|---|
| Ingredients in the dish library and on supply sites | wuxing | 水, 木, 火, 土, 金 |
| Dish facets on restaurant nodes | facets.wuxing | water, wood, fire, earth, metal |
Nature (热, 温, 平, 凉, 寒) and flavours (辛, 甘, 酸, 苦, 咸) use Chinese codes everywhere. Convert for display according to the page language; do not translate the codes in storage or exchange.
