Because before the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, the whole country did not use oil. At that time, the main tableware was ding, and there was no iron pot like this, so the action of frying could not be done. Compared with cooking used in ancient times, frying requires more modulation and stir-frying, so it is more difficult.

Cooking is now a common practice. Even if every household can't do it, sometimes they will go out to eat other people's fried dishes. However, in the history of our country, cooking only appeared after the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms. To be precise, frying has emerged as a method to deal with ingredients. For China, where there are many American foods, why did cooking not appear until the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms? There are actually two reasons.

On the one hand, it is the problem of equipment. A wok is different from a wok. In addition, a long time ago, more distinguished people used Ding cook the meat, and eating with a gyro was more distinguished. Others just found a ceramic bowl or clay bowl to cook, and most of them are sunken and not easy to fry, so there is no so-called frying, just cooking.

The most important thing is that there is no salt and oil, which is very fatal. Ancient salt is a strategic item controlled by the imperial court. I'm afraid only top officials and the imperial court can eat edible salt. Ordinary people, unless they are particularly rich, can hardly eat salt, and most of them are messy things that replace salt.

Besides, there is no oil. Oil is a necessity for cooking. Without oil, fried food has no soul. Cooking? Even though Chinese cuisine is varied, cooking didn't appear until after the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms because things are scarce.
