1. Noodles 4,000 years ago There are different opinions on the origin of noodles. Some say they are Chinese, some say Italian, and some say they are Arab. Each has its own arguments and explanations. Until a new discovery in the Chinese archaeological community,

Just push the discovery time of noodles back to 4000 years ago - noodles in the late Neolithic period.

Think about it, eating friends, 4,000 years ago, before Jesus was born, China’s great ancestors had already begun to cook themselves a bowl of warm noodles in a harsh environment, and their wives and children were warming up on the bed.

2. Hot pot before 20,000 years ago. Hot pot is our original Chinese delicacy and has a very long history. According to research, hot pot existed in our country during the Warring States Period, but at that time clay pots were still used to make pots. Until the Song Dynasty, how to eat hot pot

It is very common among the people.

This is pottery discovered in Xianren Cave in Jiangxi, China. It has a history of 20,000 years ago. Some people may say that I am joking. I have pushed the emergence of the prototype of hot pot to 20,000 years ago based on the fragments of pottery pots that can be found everywhere in China.

Okay, let me tell you, this clay pot is used to cook rice and soup.

Twenty thousand years ago, the primitive people in the world were still in the age of hunting and gathering. They did not cultivate or raise food. They relied purely on luck and depended on God's face for their food.

And what are the Chinese doing at this time?

A group of people sit together in small grass skirts and cook meat in clay pots. Isn't this the prototype of hot pot?

3. Dumplings were a traditional Chinese delicacy 2600 years ago. There are many legends about eating dumplings during the New Year.

One is to commemorate Pangu’s creation of the world and the end of the state of chaos; the other is related to the legend of Nuwa’s creation of humans. When Nuwa created humans, the ears of the natives were always frozen off due to the cold weather and the ground. In order to fix the ears.

, Nuwa threaded a thread through the native's ear to tie it, and then let the native bite the other end of the thread with his mouth. This solved the problem.

Later, in order to commemorate Nuwa, the common people shaped dumplings into the shape of human ears.

In October 1978, archaeologists unearthed a set of copper ritual utensils in the ancient city of Xue State, Shandong Province. Among them was a copper food utensil. When opened, a triangular shape of food was neatly placed inside. According to analysis, it contained

Chinese traditional food - dumplings.

This is the earliest dumpling ever discovered, about 2,600 years ago.
