The history of sushi

There are different opinions about the origin of sushi. In ancient Southeast Asia and the coastal areas of China, there were foods similar to sushi, but their forms were different. Japanese sushi mainly consists of rolled rice with laver or seaweed, sashimi, cucumber, pork floss and burnt onion, with mustard, horseradish, soy sauce and vinegar. . On the coast of China, there is a kind of cylindrical rice ball made of glutinous rice, egg yolk, crispy skin, peanuts, vegetables and cooked shrimps, which is called a rice stick. It is wrapped with a layer of cooked dough. The method is a bit like holding sushi, but the material and shape are different. According to legend, the rice stick came from Yue State (Zhejiang Province) in the Spring and Autumn Period and belonged to the traditional food of the ancient Yue people.

In the 2 AD after Goguryeo surrendered to China, that is, in the post-Han Dynasty, China began to spread this kind of food, which was said to have been introduced by the marine nationalities in Northeast Asia (Fuyu, Dongwei, Mahan, etc.). In the dictionary, it is defined as food made of salt, vinegar, rice and steamed fish fillets. Sometimes fried fish sticks are used as the main ingredient and mixed with rice balls. The shape is an oval sphere, which looks like a football. But most of the time, there is no fixed shape, and the catfish is also made of steamed fish steak with powder or steamed fish steak with rice, but cooked rice is used, which can be used by heating or mixed with cooked fish cold. During the Song Dynasty, there were frequent wars in China, which was just a kind of food to satisfy hunger, and there were many varieties, which were made of vegetables, fish, meat and other combinations, but because there was no fixed form, it was different from Japanese sushi.

In the early days when Chinese characters were introduced to Japan, Japan added its own understanding of Chinese characters and replaced some Japanese foods with Chinese characters with similar or different meanings. Siusi? It becomes? Hey? ，? Sasimi? It becomes? Hey? .

In the post-Han period, there appeared a small food made of raw rice, fish and sauce, which was much smaller than that of China. This is the ancestor of Japanese sushi later. At the same time, the fish sticks with rice in China can be regarded as the brothers or neighbors of sushi. It's just that it's not widely circulated and popularized nowadays.

in 7 a.d., that is, the nara era, the early Japanese small food was named sushi, which was used as a holiday food. Sushi has gradually become a daily food, especially some fishermen's rice balls pickled with some vinegar, plus some seafood or meat, pressed into a small piece and neatly arranged in a small wooden box as food along the way. During the Kamakura shogunate era, sushi has been widely spread, becoming an ordinary item and a symbol of Japanese food culture. ;
