鸡是我们身边最寻常不过的家禽和肉⻝来源，全球每年被吃掉的鸡有600多亿只，是地球人口数量的8倍以上，是人类最密切的动物伴侣和重要的蛋白质来源，参与人类文明的进程并深刻地改变了我们。在东南亚热带雨林，在中国最北端的村庄，在非洲热带沙漠边缘的部落，在极端的和偏原始的环境下，鸡在人们生活中的地位，都绝不仅仅止于餐桌上的一道美⻝，它还有更多超越餐桌之上的文化价值。
Chicken is the most common source of poultry and meat around us. More than 60 billion chickens are eaten every year in the world, which is more than 8 times the population of the earth. It is the closest animal companion and an important source of protein for human beings. The progress of human civilization has profoundly changed us. In the tropical rain forests of Southeast Asia, in the northernmost villages in China, and in the tribes on the edge of the tropical deserts of Africa, in extreme and primitive environments, the status of chickens in people's lives is not just a delicacy on the table , it has more cultural value beyond the dining table.
