In the history of painting in China, there is a painting called Wenhui Map, which depicts the scene of a literati in the Song Dynasty enjoying an elegant collection of tea. I heard that the author of this painting is Song Huizong. Not only that, in this painting, we can clearly see many exquisite kitchen utensils and the indispensable food in them. So today, let's explore why hot pot was called "Xia Xia Gong" in the Song Dynasty when food was popular.

as early as thousands of years ago, people began to eat hot pot. In ancient times, when offering sacrifices, it was generally necessary to "strike the bell and set the tripod" and eat it. The cut beef and mutton were cooked in the tripod and then eaten separately. In the Tang and Song Dynasties, people often used pottery hot pot, which is called "there's a gleam of green in an old bottle, there's a stir of red in the quiet stove". There's a feeling of snow in the dusk outside, what about a cup of wine inside?? " In addition, throughout the dynasties, the literati class in the Song Dynasty respected wild goods very much, especially the wind of eating rabbits was the most popular. Moreover, in ancient times when the cooking method was extremely simple, the Song Dynasty was the first dynasty to take cooking as the main cooking method. Not only that, they also invented the shabu-shabu pot, so in addition to roasting rabbit meat, boiling rabbit meat and stewing rabbit meat, the Song people also had another way to eat it, that is, "rabbit meat shabu-shabu".

During a visit to friends, Lin Hong, a gourmet in the Song Dynasty, accidentally discovered a meat-eating method called "Banxiagong", and its raw material was rabbit meat. After the trip to visit the hermit, Lin Hong recorded the specific method of "offering Xia" in "Shan Jia Qing Gong, Volume I": "Offering Xia for" Materia Medica ":rabbit meat can supplement the middle and replenish qi, but it can't be eaten with chicken. I traveled to Wuyi Six Songs, visited the division, and got a rabbit when it was snowy, and no one could control it. Shi Yun: "There are only thin batches in the mountains, and wine, sauce and pepper are plentiful. Azakami is heated by wind, and the water is less than half a pot. When the soup rings, each pot will be used after a cup, so that you can put the soup in and cook it, so you can give it to each pot as appropriate."

just looking at the text, I don't feel my throat squirming, my mouth is full of saliva, and I can't help but want to eat one or two pieces of rabbit meat with sauce. What's more, Lin Hong, as a gourmet, did it immediately, turning the meat slices in the hot soup back and forth with chopsticks, making the meat slices look like clouds, which is not as beautiful as it is. Therefore, this kind of meat-eating method was named "Poxia confession" and a poem was written for it: "Surge sunny Jiang Xue, the wind turns over the sunset." At the end of the cloud: "I was drunk and remembered the taste of the mountains, but I forgot that it was your home." Both pigs and sheep can do it. "Finally, as usual, I will attach another poem about rabbits, Rabbit by Song Song Qi: Get rid of rabbits and kiss the sky with a hungry eagle. In order to annoy the elk and dog, he gave the orcs fresh food. Crazy eyes and fallen trees, surprised to donate in a month. There are many cunning points, and the meat will help you.
