First, the output of labor determines the dietary intake. Since ancient times, the northern part of China has focused on the development of heavy industry and agriculture. This kind of work requires greater physical strength, so it requires greater physical and energy intake. Therefore, northerners have a large appetite and a small rice bowl is naturally inconvenient and not enjoyable. In the south, however, most people attach importance to light industry and commerce, and there is not a lot of physical expenditure. Naturally, the demand for intake is not so great, and a small bowl is enough for supply.
Second, the temperature determines the demand for fat. The weather in the north is cold and needs more fat and calories to keep warm, so eating more is enough for the body to resist the cold. In the south, people are mostly wet and humid, and their appetite is naturally poor, so they eat less, so the utensils they eat are naturally proportional to their food intake.
Third, eating habits are the focus. The black land in the north is more suitable for growing wheat, so northerners prefer to eat pasta, while the pasta such as steamed bread and flower rolls in the north are palm-sized, and the bowls are too small to hold two, so northerners choose to use big names for the convenience of holding staple food. Southerners, on the other hand, like to drink soup for health, especially before meals. After a bowl of soup, the stomach is half full, and the food intake naturally decreases, so eating in a small bowl is enough.
Fourth, the north is informal and the south pursues exquisiteness. Since ancient times, the south has been a major trade area, and I have learned a lot about foreign life and culture, so I have gradually developed exquisite living habits and aesthetics, and exquisite tableware is naturally one of them. In ancient times, northerners were conquered by Mongols, so their living habits have always been informal and large-scale, and everything is mainly casual and natural. Drinking in a big bowl and eating meat in a big bowl is the free and easy temperament in the north.
This is why the bowls in the south are generally small, while those in the north are too big. If the friends also have relevant opinions, please leave a message for Xiaobian and let's discuss it together.
