Food culture is something that China should be proud of, and it is also the most easily accepted by all countries in the world. Delicious food is much enjoyed. Have you ever studied when China people began to get rid of the life of eating and drinking blood? When did you start cooking on the stove? When do the dumplings and wonton that you often eat appear? How did it evolve from a separate meal system to eating around the table? ..... In the "Gourmet Beautifying Instruments-China Dietary Instruments Exhibition in Past Dynasties" being held in Hongkong, we can not only get the answer, but also understand the changing relationship between China's diet preference and instruments in a simple way. More than 1 precious cultural relics were provided by the National Museum of China. Hu Xiaojian, an associate researcher in the exhibition department of the museum, said that the museum was specially prepared and organized for this special exhibition. Most of the exhibits were exhibited in Hong Kong for the first time, and more than 1 of them were national first-class cultural relics, such as the Neolithic Age's Grey Pot and Stove, the Sui Dynasty's Golden Foot Cup, the Northern Wei Dynasty's Blue Porcelain Lotus Zun and the Han Dynasty's Paving the First Ring Copper.
The Pot and Stove of Grey Pot exhibited on the spot is an early and complete cookware. Hu Xiaojian said that the Pot with Additional Heap Patterns of Grey Pot in Neolithic Age was a three-legged pot, and the Black Pot retort was the earliest steamer, which contained water in the lower part, called Wei, with a hole in the middle and food on it. In the Paleolithic period, human beings mainly barbecued, but in the Neolithic period, they began to cook and steam, eating millet in the north and rice in the south. A Neolithic "Bottle with Small Ears and Sharp Bottom" was on the scene. Ropes were hung from the ear holes on both sides, and when it was put into the river, the pottery bottle would stand up. It can be seen that the ancestors at that time were also very wise to draw water.
in the Xia, Shang, Zhou, Spring and Autumn Period and Warring States Period, the famous bronze craft reached its peak, and the combination of retort and retort had developed into bronze ware system. In the late Spring and Autumn Period, jiaozi appeared, and at that time, ancestors began to know how to eat pasta, wonton and powder food. Due to the emphasis on ritual sacrifices during this period, many wine vessels appeared. For example, the bronze ribbon on the horse was a drinking vessel. F is used to hold wine, and "Stealing the first three legs of the dragon?" B "was a wine mixer at that time, the most special one was" Bronze Ice Guide ",an ice wine appliance with a built-in square jar for holding wine. Imitations of lacquerware tableware commonly used in the same period were also exhibited at the scene.
The special exhibits in the Han Dynasty are Paving a Head with a Ring of Copper, which was a copper oven at that time. In addition, the funerary object of the Han Dynasty, Pottery Stove, reflects that people had complete stove equipment at that time. This boat-shaped pottery stove was a popular style in the south, while only a simple rectangular stove was used in the north.
The Sui and Tang Dynasties were a period when China's culture and national power were strong. All ethnic groups further exchanged and merged in food culture, and the variety of dishes increased greatly, and different food schools were established. At that time, high-legged tables and chairs were popularized, and the banquet dishes were rich. Therefore, the form of one set of tableware with separate meals evolved into the form of multiple people eating around the table. At that time, the emphasis was on gorgeous life, and gold, silver and glassware appeared one after another, and the workmanship was exquisite. The utensils of Sui and Tang Dynasties exhibited on the spot include the Golden Foot and Golden Cup imported from East Rome. In addition, in the Tang Dynasty's jiaozi and Dim Sum unearthed in Xinjiang, dim sum is some cakes, and the noodles are printed with flower patterns into beautiful shapes and patterns, while there is meat in jiaozi, reflecting that Xinjiang is also influenced by the diet of the Central Plains.
As for the exhibits of other dynasties, there are some special ones, such as Banquet and Acrobatic Picture Brick in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Celadon Lotus Zun in the Northern Wei Dynasty, Golden Cup with Lotus Petal Handle in Liao Dynasty, Yingceladon Annotation and Warm Bowl in the Southern Song Dynasty, and Pastel Brocade and Litchi Cover Bowl in Qing Daoguang.
