The image is a red-colored sign with Chinese text written in both English and Chinese. The text is written in a traditional Chinese font and is divided into two columns. The first column is titled "Diet" and the second column is labeled "Meiji". 

The text on the left side of the sign reads "Chu is richly endowed from the rivers, marshes, mountains and forests of the Jiang-Han plain. It has Yumming area that is filled with game, and Jiang-Huan that is teeming with aquatic creatures. Among the five cereals that constituted the staple diet of the Chu people, rice was the most important. Domestic animals, vegetables, fruits and game were also eaten. As many as ten cooking methods are known including boiling, steaming, grilling, rinsing, quick-frying, frying and stewing. Standardizing food consumption was thought to be the origin of the system of etiquette and rules. These standards were clearly defined by the ancient Chinese culture and the rules of cooking.

At the bottom of the image, there is a note that explains that the Chinese cuisine was largely the same as the Central Plains, except for more variety of dishes, poultry, and other food items.
