What foods were included in the imperial meals of the Yuan Dynasty?

Is there really only halal food?

1. Yuan Dynasty: The rough and delicate survival of the Yuan Dynasty was a unified multi-ethnic country established by the Mongolian people. It belonged to the Mongol Empire that spanned the five non-three states established by Genghis Khan.

The East was the homeland of the Mongols before they got up, so Beijing was called "most" at that time, and the original empire belonged to the richest and most important plate among the 4 khanates.

Great Hero: Genghis Khan Award In addition to the multi-ethnic character of the original empire, the empire extended northwestward to distant areas beyond the reach of the traditional central power. Therefore, Yuan Dynasty China had great differences with traditional China in both its cultural characteristics and political system.

Variety.

(David Asher, Northern Exposure (American TV), cultural quotes) But will the rapid changes and repetitions of political power in the short term affect the people and reverse the eating habits passed down from generation to generation?

(William Shakespeare, Hamlet, political power, political power, political power, political power, political power, political power).

The eating habits of the Yuan Dynasty can be roughly divided into two directions: the upper-class imperial rulers and the traditional Han people. During this period, there was a major branch line of "foreign food continued to flow into the Central Plains."

A major feature of food in the Yuan Dynasty is that "halal" food has been widely promoted.

The exciting Yuan Dynasty palace cookbook of the Mongolian female warrior "Yin Shan Zheng Yao" has extensive records of halal food.

Ethnic foods with Western characteristics such as "fried", "rice cake bread", "oil flower", "rotary war", "fat sheep", etc. gradually flowed into the daily diet of northwest residents and had a great impact on the eating habits of the Han people stranded in the north.

Big impact.

Crispy halal snacks: The camps in the Oil Painting Huameng Expedition Circle still retain the dietary characteristics of the grassland tribes, so "grilled vegetables" often account for a large part of the Mongolian diet structure.

What's more interesting is that at that time, the Mongolian tribes popularly roasted a marmot as a game.

(Albert Einstein, Northern Exposure (American TV series)) It is said that there are very few poultry on the vast prairie.

The Mongolian nobles seem to have no resistance to the marmot, which has delicate, plump meat and a very beautiful taste.

Of course, after taking over the Central Plains, the Mongolian nobles gradually accepted the traditional food of ancient China.

For example, "Tang Bing", a regional specialty favored by people in the northwest, has entered the daily life of Mongolians through exchanges.

Since then, the northern soup ice cooking skills have been combined with the Hui Ren production process, gradually evolving into a delicious "clear soup patch".

(William Shakespeare, Northern Exposure (American TV series)), but the bold custom of "drinking with big bowls and eating meat with big mouthfuls" still continued to be carried forward in the Mongolian and Yuan court. The meat is crispy, the soup is fresh, and the gluten is: the revised soup patch of the Yuan Dynasty

Compared with the tribal food habits of the palace, people's social dietary life has attracted less attention from the public. On the basis of inheriting the "eating in alleys" of the Song Dynasty, the folk dietary structure of the Yuan Dynasty further developed in a comprehensive way in traditional Chinese society.

An important component, the Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions have produced the "fengya tribe" who are most familiar with etiquette and elegance in traditional society, forming the main force of folk food consumption. The well-off areas are typical rice production areas and northerners like to eat.

The habits of eating noodles and bread are different. The food of southerners still adopts the custom of eating rice products in the Yuan Dynasty. The important officials of the Yuan Dynasty who were appointed as the forest officials of Jiangsu Province and Zhejiang City were often not used to eating grain as their staple food, so they were very worried.

At that time, aquatic products such as fungi, bamboo shoots, leeks, and crabs, shrimps, and puffer fish were widely spread on the people's tables. However, in the south, there were fewer cattle and sheep, but there were more poultry in the south.

One Han said, "The God of Death in Jiangnan will refuse mutton as long as it is eaten with pork, fish, wild geese, goose, and duck wings." This eating habit problem caused a big headache for the southern Han people who received the northerners. The taste of fresh fertilizer: delicious.

Roasted Lamb Chops Ming: Many Modes, From Frugal to Sophisticated. Let's look at original Chinese official and folk food, focusing on the Ming court. The imperial dining establishment of the Ming Dynasty was divided into two major systems: internal and external cuisine.

The nating catering agency is responsible for the food supply for various sacrifices and banquets held in the name of the country or the imperial court. The agency responsible for the preparation and production of the emperor's royal food is Guanglu.

Company. Its main cooperation agency is the Ministry of Rites. The tributes required by the Ming Dynasty emperors were managed by the Ministry of Rites. The palace paid more attention to providing meals according to traditional eating habits, and culturally rich snacks and rice cakes became indispensable.

For example, "spring cakes are eaten at the beginning of spring, Yuanxiao is eaten in the first month, pods are not eaten in early April, rice dumplings are eaten in Dragon Boat Festival in May, Double Ninth Cake is eaten in September, porridge and wax noodles are eaten in the twelfth lunar month" and other dietary traditions must be paid attention to by the Ministry of Rites.
