At the end of the year, it is the season when winter bamboo shoots are on the market. There will be bamboo shoots with bamboo shoots for sale in the vegetable market. During the New Year's Day, a winter bamboo shoot stew soup is oily and greasy, and the entrance is smooth and crisp. People who like to eat bamboo shoots, as well as dried bamboo shoots, shredded and fried, even without meat, are extremely refreshing and delicious food.
Dongpo said that eating without meat is better than living without bamboo. Although it seems to write about the living environment, I am afraid that Su Shi's greatest selfishness is not watching, but eating bamboo shoots. After all, things are scarce, and bamboo shoots are not ordinary fast-growing vegetables. They have been listed as delicacies since ancient times.
So when did you become delicious?
This history can be traced back to primitive society. People, like many animals, dig up the roots of natural plants and naturally won't miss bamboo shoots, because it is one of the tender roots that wild boar and winter animals love to arch in winter.
Historically, the Yellow River Basin in the Zhou Dynasty had a warm climate and dense bamboo forests everywhere. But bamboo shoots are rare because they grow in bamboo forests. Bamboo shoots are new buds that grow from the underground roots of bamboo. After the spring rain, these new buds broke through the ground and grew rapidly, and soon they spread their branches and leaves, just because they grew fast and tasted old and could not be eaten. Most edible bamboo shoots are in winter and early spring, indicating that the yield is not high. However, young bamboo shoots rot easily and leave the land. Under the premise of limited traffic conditions in ancient times, these bamboo shoots are certainly the delicacies of the mountain people, but they are rare delicacies in the city.
Therefore, according to historical records, the Zhou Dynasty existed as a delicacy at a banquet. Of course, the preciousness of bamboo shoots must be before written records.
"Han Hou ancestors, stay in Tully.
Show it to your father, and you'll have a hundred pots of sake.
Its food is delicious, and it is delicious.
What are its dimensions? Dimensions of bamboo shoots and pu.
This is a gift for He Wei. Take a bus.
There are many beans, and the Book of Songs is elegant and the Book of Han is elegant, while Mei can also tin the princes.
The Book of Songs records Zhou Xuanwang's ceremony of sealing marquis. When Han Hou was leaving the capital, officials paid a farewell visit according to the etiquette. Although there is no emperor here, it is presided over by court elders and senior officials, and there is a ceremony to worship ancestors. Han Hou and Guan Bai sacrificed hundreds of cans of sake and delicious food to their ancestors and ate these dishes.
What's in that delicate and delicious dish? Turtle and fresh fish, seasonal bamboo shoots and cattail buds. These are privileges and the best delicacies at that time.
In the Zhou ceremony, "add beans, bamboo shoots and fish" is the best gift food for sacrifice, and it is the top dish on the copper plate, including bamboo shoots.
Bamboo was widely used in the Warring States, Qin and Han Dynasties. Bamboo slips have made great contributions to cultural inheritance and exchange. At this time, there are still many bamboos in the northern basin, so people still have many opportunities to eat bamboo shoots. But one thing, bamboo shoots are difficult to keep fresh.
By the end of the Han dynasty, the climate had changed, and most of the bamboo forests in the north died of cold. In the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the climate became warmer, but at this time, bamboo as a writing material has been replaced by paper, and the scale of bamboo planting has shrunk.
There are not many opportunities to eat bamboo shoots. Bamboo shoots are also more precious and continue to be a delicacy for nobles. At this time, aristocratic Zhong Zhulin became a trend, because the beauty of bamboo itself carries a lot of cultural details, and eating bamboo shoots and enjoying bamboo forests is a great pleasure for private gardens.
"I want Chunshi and drive out of the city.
Play with bamboo shoots before spring and surprise after snow.
Castle peak can be different, and the yellow scroll will open when it is restored.
It's a long rope tied to the sun. Pour a glass of turbid wine. "Chen Chao? Jiang Zong's poem "Going Home at the End of the Year"? 》
The last prime minister of the Chen dynasty went out of the city and returned to his manor outside the city at the end of a year.
His manor is at the foot of the mountain, with bamboo forests and plum blossoms. He said that he enjoyed bamboo shoots in the bamboo forest before spring and liked plum blossoms in In the snow on the 12th.
So at this time, most of the bamboo shoots are buried under the soil, and only a few of them show a little new bud. Although this has always been Jiang's love for spring in winter, he is also the kind of person who can eat winter bamboo shoots and bamboo shoots best.
What does he love? He loves this bamboo bud that is about to break out of the ground.
He usually eats whatever he likes. He flaunted like Versailles. At least it's hard for others to eat bamboo shoots. He is a landlord and owns his own villa. He can eat whenever he wants.
"Sweet rice and green rice, green bamboo shoots and stems.
Swear to accompany Brahma to the end, sit up and learn without life. " ? Tang Sheng? Excerpt from Wang Wei's Visit to the Influence Temple
In the prosperous Tang Dynasty, bamboo shoots were common in mountainous areas and remained a problem in cities.
Wang Wei is a garden tycoon who owns Wangchuan Villa. He knows how delicious fresh bamboo shoots are. No, he went to the temple of influence, and nothing touched him. The food here moved him.
That rice is made from the fruit of wild rice, and that good dish is the most tender bamboo shoots.
I feel the special beauty of Buddhism here. I meditate and learn Taoism to live forever.
The prosperity of the Tang Dynasty also made the city more crowded. Beijing is a political, economic and cultural exchange center. The only drawback is that you can't breathe the sweetest air and eat the most pollution-free natural delicious food.
However, the traffic in the Tang Dynasty was much more developed than that in the previous generation. If you want to eat bamboo shoots, there is a way to buy them with money.
Bamboo shoots came out of the mountain and went to the table of dignitaries. After transportation loss, the output of bamboo shoots is limited by seasons, so the price soars, but it can't resist people's love. This is a symbol of rank and treatment.
"This state is a bamboo village, and the valley is full of bamboo shoots.
Fu Shan crossed his arms and took them to the morning market.
Many things are cheap, and double money is easy to bind.

The purple basket is old, but the plain muscle breaks the new jade.
Add meals every day, and don't think about meat after that.
I have been a guest in Luo Jing for a long time, and this smell is often not enough.
Don't hesitate to eat, the south wind blows bamboo. " ? Bai Juyi, eat bamboo shoots? 》
Bai Juyi, though simple, was an official of the imperial court. In his later years, he lived as an official in Luoyang, Chang 'an. At this time, there were few bamboo forests and bamboo shoots in the north, but there were many bamboo shoots at the banquet given by Bai Juyi's senior officials. Bai Juyi called them purple bamboo shoots because the bamboo shoots in early spring were wrapped in purple shells. Bai Juyi often eats bamboo shoots at banquets in Beijing, which is very delicious.
But when he really saw the bamboo forest and bamboo shoots in front of him, he was still very shocked.
Bamboo shoots are everywhere, and farmers dig them out and hold them in their arms to go to the market. Because there are many here, it is very cheap. Two pence and a big one are cooked in rice at the same time. Look at the purple bamboo skin. There are new jade bamboo shoots in it. You don't want to eat meat after eating bamboo shoots. I am an official in Beijing, and I often have a bad life. Here, I can eat with an open stomach.

After transportation, loss and price increase, things in the city are pushed up to a rare price, keeping up with each other, where can ordinary people afford it?
"When the tender buds first came out of the forest, Yuling was as expensive as gold.
Imperial capital, land and sea, should be countless, endure an inch of Lingyun heart. "Li Shangyin? [Tang Dynasty] "Early bamboo shoots are on the table"
This is Li Shangyin, a poor boy. His family is poor, and he still knows bamboo shoots. He has eaten them, but it should be the first time to eat delicious bamboo shoots at a banquet in Beijing.
Beijing's wealth and prosperity, luxury confusion and its own coldness have formed a strong inner impact.
This is Li Shangyin's banquet, and everyone writes poems to entertain them. It is also a time for new guests to show their talents and hope to get the favor and appreciation of their hosts.
I think it was bamboo shoots. Li Shangyin immediately contacted his own situation.
Fresh tender bamboo shoots, fragrant and sweet, were sent to the city for gold. The beginning of this poem is to praise the beauty of bamboo shoots and flatter the wealth of the host at this banquet.
There are countless cuisines in Chang 'an. If you can flatter, you will praise the wealth of your family with bamboo shoots.
But Li Shangyin suddenly came to a turning point.
How can you be willing to cut bamboo shoots and cut off bamboo shoots buried deep underground, eager to see the sun and grow up?
I don't know how shocked people who saw and heard this poem at the banquet at that time were.
Is it the embarrassment, silence or applause of the host?
But this poem has touched readers from generation to generation. Who doesn't start with tender bamboo shoots and grow into a lush life, and who hasn't experienced the repressed pain?
But as far as bamboo shoot poetry is concerned, it is the best singing poem. Please be kind to this eager bamboo shoot. Don't break the bent reed frost, don't put out the lights and the wind.
Song Dynasty was a great dynasty that attached importance to agriculture, so the consumption of bamboo shoots was more popular than the previous generation.
Digging some bamboo shoots in the bamboo forest in winter and spring is more suitable for the density and intensity of the bamboo forest itself. After all, too many bamboo shoots are easy to consume the nutrient resources of the land. However, winter bamboo shoots and spring bamboo shoots are still very expensive at the current price, because they are needed for the Spring Festival.
Mutton was popular in Song Dynasty, followed by pork. Bamboo shoots absorbed the essence of broth, which was unique and delicious. Eating on New Year's Day can relieve greasy food, refresh the stomach, and it's a treasure.

Look at the stingy bamboo shoots that Han dug up, about a kilo, specially reserved for good friends to eat bamboo shoots as wine in the middle of the night.
He also said, I don't want to give it to others. It's reserved for you.
Two people stew bamboo shoots in the middle of the night and talk about wine, not to mention the delicious bamboo shoots themselves. This kind of environment and friendship is also intoxicating. In other words, after solving the problem of food and clothing, eating is an atmosphere.
This food is really icing on the cake.
"Better and simpler, eating bamboo shoots is a debt.
Xiao Ran looked in the mirror, but refused to mix mustard. "Northern Song Dynasty? Excerpted from Su Shi's The Rhyme of Eating Bamboo Shoots with Huang.
Su Shi and Huang Tingjian eat differently. Doesn't Su Shi like Dongpo meat? The two of them eat meat and bamboo shoots. Both of them like to eat bamboo shoots, stir-fry them and cook them. It is said that eating bamboo shoots is a debt to bamboo, and I don't know whether bamboo owes them or they owe bamboo shoots.
To what extent do you eat? Not only is there no meat, but there is no matching mushroom.
But bamboo shoots naturally have a sweet taste. Both Su Shi and Huang Tingjian experienced relegation, suffering and hunger. The beauty of their bamboo shoots is the simplest taste of life.
With the development of modern transportation, the maturity of preservation technology and the scientific management of bamboo forests, once unpalatable delicacies, winter bamboo shoots and spring bamboo shoots have also entered the homes of ordinary people. Bamboo shoots are sweet and delicious, refreshing and water-saving. They are seasonal foods in winter and spring.
