You can eat a lot of delicious food, including staple food, meat, snacks and drinks. However, this kind of banquet also has certain rules. Not everyone can eat rich delicious food, and the specifications of the dishes will be arranged according to the grade of the official rank, but it is also very rich.

with the development of social productive forces and the continuous improvement of the court etiquette system in the later period, the ancient court banquets are also constantly developing and changing. Banquets developed to the Ming Dynasty, and there were many kinds of banquets. Generally speaking, according to the scale and the importance of emperors, there were three kinds of banquets: big banquet, middle banquet and small banquet. Then, the "treat" of the Ming dynasty kings for the New Year must be a big deal, and it must be the specification of a big banquet.

Not only are banquets divided into large, medium and small, but even for the same banquet, banquet tables are divided into four categories according to official rank: upper table, middle table, middle table and lower table. As the name implies, the dishes at each table are definitely different. The dishes served on the table include chicken, double bonzi bones and other dishes, as well as soup, steamed bread and beef, mutton and rice. Just five more glasses of wine.

Then there are the dishes served in the middle table, which are slightly worse than those served in the last table. There are no hard dishes like chicken and double-boned bones, only some fruits, vegetables, soup, steamed bread, beef, mutton and rice, and five cups of wine. The dishes in the middle table are even worse, only some fruits, vegetables, soup, steamed bread, etc., and three cups of wine. There are fewer ingredients and smaller specifications.

the rest of the people's food is even worse, only some drinks, fine powder soup, steamed bread and pork rice; The golden gun soldier and the elephant slave captain only have steamed bread. Although from this arrangement, the lower the official's grade, the smaller the table will be, and the dishes will be poor compared with those on the table, but for people at that time, it can be said to be quite rich.

The Chinese New Year's "treat" by Ming emperors can also be said to be a political activity, which is not only as simple as having a meal, but also a means to win people's hearts. At the banquet, hundreds of officials are rewarded to enhance the cohesion between the emperor and the civil and military officials.
