The earliest source of "House of bells and pans" is from "The Records of the Grand Historian - Cargo Shik Lianzhuan": "Sprinkles and cuts, thin skills, and 郅's pans and food. The stomach is dry, simple micro-ear, cloudy even ride. Horse doctor, shallow square, Zhang Li hit the bell. This is the result of a sincere one." ? But the exact source of the phrase "the house of bells and tripods" is the Preface to the Tengwang Pavilion.
The original text describes it this way: "Lujian pounced on the ground, the home of the bell ringing, tripod food; barge ship Mizun, the poopdeck of the green sparrow yellow dragon. The barges and ships are filled with ferries, and all of them are big ships carved with the pattern of green bird and yellow dragon. "
"Zhong Ming Ding Dining", meaning to strike the music bells, lined up with tripods to eat. Bell: an ancient musical instrument. Ding: an ancient cooking utensil with three feet and two ears. It describes the luxury and extravagance of the life of the rich and noble people." The original Chinese character "钟鸣鼎食之家" refers to the rich people in ancient times, when they ate their meals, they struck the bells as a horn and ate with the tripods in a row. Later, it describes the life of the aristocrats, which is extremely extravagant and luxurious. The term is often used to describe the life of the aristocracy, which is extremely extravagant and luxurious.Behind the story of "bells ringing and tripods eating": Sima Qian discussed how to get rich. He believed that it was not necessary to have an official title and salary to become rich! And no need to do illegal activities, but as long as you can judge the situation, according to the needs of society, desperately camp a line, it will be effective. For example, business, then is a lowly line, but some people have gained thousands of dollars. Selling soymilk is a small business, but a man named Zhang has made millions of dollars in profit. Showering water and sharpening knives was a very simple craft, but a family of the "Zhi" clan used the tripods that only the rich and noble families had to cook and sell food. There was also a man who sold preserved fruits, and because he was good at mixing ingredients, he sold them widely, and thus made a great fortune. There was also a doctor who cured horses and lived a luxurious life of music bells and chimes during meals by relying on an ordinary prescription.
The term "Zhong Ming Ding Yi" was summarized by the later generations based on the writings of their predecessors, and was gradually passed down. The term "House of Bells and Tripods" has also been used to describe the life of nobles since the Preface to the Tengwang Pavilion.
The above is the historical origin of "Zhong Ming Ding Dining House".
