Tan Zongjun loved food all his life. When I was an official in Beijing, I hosted a banquet with my colleagues. Finally, Tan Jiacai, a unique Beijing private cuisine, was formed. Among all kinds of cuisines, Tan Jiacai became the most famous official cuisines in Beijing in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China. At Tan Zongxun's party, Tan's hostess is good at cooking. In addition, she also invests in famous teachers and constantly improves her skills. Finally, she formed an independent famous dish, which is very famous in Beijing, sweet and salty, selected and precious, and still unique in the catering industry. There is a tendency that "the food industry has nothing to talk about". His son Tan Yiqing also inherited the family tradition. Someone made a song "Song of Tan Biao".

Tan Zongxun is also quite accomplished in calligraphy, poetry and painting. He once praised the famous scholars in Lingnan in "Collection of Valley Hall" and "Painting Fu": "Simple people put pen to paper to show off, deliberately new police, both prepared for kindness and poor essentials, covered with mountains and white clouds, empty monks meditated, four people were silent, but they heard clearly." Being able to recognize the beauty of others shows that Tan Zongxun also has such a state.
