Iron pots in the Song Dynasty were really popular, but it wasn't only the iron pots in the Song Dynasty that were robbed by Mongolia. The Song Dynasty itself was a dynasty with exquisite utensils. Many of their porcelains were fine, and the pots were similar. However, Mongolia itself lacks iron pots, so they will also rob them.
As a utensil for making delicious food, the iron pot was very popular in the Song Dynasty. At that time, many food cultures in Song Dynasty were created because of iron pots. Moreover, because the navigation in the Song Dynasty was very developed at that time, there were often many maritime transactions, and iron pots were naturally traded as commodities. And there is an anecdote, which is also about iron pots. At that time, all western countries cooked by barbecue, or cooked, and there was no such thing as an iron pot at all. Therefore, when some businessmen at that time traded iron pots to their own countries, they were also looted by nobles as exotic items.
In Mongolia, the iron pot is a symbol of a family's high status. Because Mongolians like to eat beef and mutton, the only thing they can cook beef and mutton is iron pots. After all, those ceramics or clay ones are really not durable. If a Mongolian marries a daughter-in-law, an iron pot must be a must. But obviously, Mongolians who live by nomadism naturally can't pass the smelting technology, so they can only buy it in the Central Plains. However, people in the Central Plains don't want to sell the pots to them, because they are afraid that the Mongols will melt the iron pots into sharp weapons, which in turn will threaten them. However, they really think too much. The Mongols themselves don't have iron pots to use, so they naturally won't do this, and their smelting technology is not so good. Many weapons are stolen from other countries.
Because of the iron pot, Mongolians are not short of jokes. Because the Mongols themselves like to fight everywhere, and they can fight themselves, they will grab things whenever they win the war, so there will be a phenomenon that Mongolian cavalry runs happily on the earth with an iron pot on their heads, which is very festive.
