The female Zhenren were not good at cooking before the founding of the country, and their diet was mainly derived from fishing and hunting, agriculture and livestock rearing. Female Zhenren agriculture mainly grows corn, wheat, millet, etc., the staple food is processed from these crops into rice and noodle products. According to the "Dajin Guo Zhi" Volume 39 "the early rise of the wind and soil" contained:

"The female true land is rich in mountains and forests, the field is suitable for hemp valley, the soil produces ginseng, beeswax, bead, raw gold, fine cloth, pine real, white aconite. Birds have eagles and harriers 'Haidongqing' and so on, beasts more cattle, horses, elk, deer, wild dogs, white swine, green rats, sable rats "," the people are brave and tough? Good riding and shooting, like farming, good fishing and hunting."

This is the female Zhenren founding of the early social life environment and dietary life portrait. Female Zhenren experienced a long clan social life before the founding of the country, its productivity level than Central Plains backward, diet is more dependent on the natural ecological environment, its diet naturally comes mainly from the above mentioned products. At this time, the female Zhenren cooking technology is also not high:

"Diet is very ugly, with beans for the pulp, but also like half-raw rice, impregnated with raw dog's blood and garlic of the genus, and eat."

This dietary practice has also developed the female genitals of the rough and bold, brave and warlike character.

After the founding of the female Zhenren, as soon as the Central Plains, the advanced culture of the Central Plains accelerated the civilization process of the female Zhenren, the Central Plains of advanced farming technology is also transmitted to the female Zhenren, increasing the female Zhenren area of labor productivity. At the same time, a variety of products and dietary cooking technology in the Central Plains has also been transferred to the women of the real people, thus changing the food structure of the women of the real people, enriching the women of the real people's food culture.

Particularly moved into the Central Plains of the real women, their diet by the Han culture is particularly deep, the dietary structure from the original fishing and hunting products to agricultural products mainly in the Central Plains, widely planted corn, millet, barley, sorghum, buckwheat, etc. also introduced in the real women in the planting, the real women's staple food is also turned to agricultural products processed into the rice and noodles, such as rice, rice porridge, fried rice and noodles, and the food is also processed into a variety of food products. Such as rice, rice porridge, fried rice, steamed buns, fried noodles and a variety of cakes, pastries and so on. But due to the female Zhenren region is rich in horses, cows, sheep, pigs, and more rivers, meat and aquatic products in their dietary structure still occupies a large proportion.

When Shizu fought with Sanda, his soldiers "used water to wash their faces and mixed wheat water to drink." It seems that the fried noodles are also the Khitan, one of the staple food of the real people, this staple food production method is simple, easy to carry, suitable for nomadic and fishing and hunting people's eating habits.

Gruel is also the Jin Dynasty female real people preferred food. female real people "between spring and summer, stop with a wooden pot injection mouth porridge, with people more or less sheng, with a long handle small wooden ladle several handles back to the ring **** food."

Dading 17 years in May, Jin Shizong "Banquet in Changwu Hall, the food order Neijin into the porridge, the emperor will eat, there are spiders in the porridge plate." Porridge in the Central Plains has long been a Han Chinese food, Chinese medicine also advocate, appropriate food porridge will play a therapeutic role, such as lotus seed porridge can clear the table, detoxification and relief of summer heat and so on. In the Golden Age of women's dietary information on the porridge is very much documented, when people eat porridge with rice, millet and other porridge made of a variety of food.

Female real people like to eat honey, white mountains and black water between the honey is also abundant. will be honey with the real estate of pine nuts, walnut meat, and glutinous rice flour made of pastries, the shape or square or round, then known as honey cake. Confectionery in the Jin Dynasty by the female Zhenren popular. The end of the Jin Dynasty, Zhao Bingwen in his "muffin cake poem" describes:

"A full of trickery, pieces of powder do not I escape. Eighteen males in the belly, laugh at you really old gourmets."

This muffin or honey cake and so on. The poet is very fond of eating this kind of food, once that ate 18. As early as in the Bohai Kingdom period (698-926) that is made of mugwort and rice flour, "Ai cake", the female Zhenren good pastry is also the heritage of the northeastern peoples.

Jinzhen people's staple food varieties from the central Han, such as steamed buns is a Jinzhen people's one of the main pasta. Steamed buns are often eaten today with flour fermented steamed food, also known as steamed buns in ancient times, with and without filling different production methods, and later the northern Yellow River Basin people will not be filled exclusively known as steamed buns, will be filled with known as baozi. The Uighur Shi Lie Ya Hu Band of the Jurchen people used to treat their generals with pork steamed buns.

Women also do a kind of food can be called "peony cake", in 1115 AD, the women invented a new approach to food:

"Women born peony flowers, the north thought of Switzerland. The female real many white peony flowers, all wild, never red. House of good deeds to pick its buds for the dish, to the surface of the frying, where the guest of honor Lenten is used. Its flavor is crisp and beautiful, can be retained for a long time."

This practice is by no means an occasional whim, which is the result of many years of life experience and dietary customs of the female real people. And soup cake, biscuits, pancakes, cakes, cakes, dumplings, new year's news, etc. are female real people love to eat the staple food, Beijing, Dadingfu is famous for the cake and cakes.

In a word, the change of staple food custom before and after the female Zhenren is relatively big. Of course, the development of food is also the result of cultural exchanges, which can reflect the civilization and progress of a society from one side.It is precisely because the Jin Dynasty was established by the female Zhenren who started from the Northeast and then possessed the Central Plains, so it is more fully reflected in the cultural exchanges, which is also a feature of the food culture of the Jin Dynasty.

At the same time, this cultural exchange is a two-way, female Zhenren's many dietary cooking techniques also have an impact on the Han region of the Central Plains, therefore, the Jin Dynasty food culture also has the characteristics of ethnicity, regionality and fusion, the female Zhenren's dietary practices of the many not only affected the Central Plains at that time, but also to the subsequent Manchu until today.
