There were hot pots in the Han Dynasty.

The legend of hot pot in the Han Dynasty originated from the great ancestor Liu Bang. Before he became emperor, Liu Bang often fought a bad battle, and Xiang Yu kicked him out, so he had no fixed place to live and slept in the wind, and rarely had a good meal. Fortunately, with a group of brothers following him, he didn't put on airs and became one with his subordinates. When he was in trouble, he shared happiness and shared happiness. Of course, when he ran away, he just wanted to eat delicious food.

I left in a hurry before I ran away, and I didn't take my personal chopsticks with me, so the pot was just a broken pot picked on the road. When I was hungry, I had to throw everything into the pot to cook, and a group of people gathered around the broken pot to start eating. As everyone knows, you can't catch a good pot of rice if you start slowly. Having shredded pork is luxury, and if you are really hungry, everything tastes delicious.

The long history of hot pot

The history of hot pot is more than 3, years. In ancient times, it was called "Gu Dong", in Ming Dynasty it was called "Convenient Furnace", and now it is called hot pot. Guangdong people call it a side furnace, northerners call it a shabu-shabu, and Yunnan people call it a blowing pot. The most prosperous period was in the middle of the Qing Dynasty, when Qianlong's southern tour and a thousand banquets focused on hot pot. As a cheap civilian food, hot pot has occupied an unshakable position for a long time, forming a long-standing hot pot culture.

after the Han dynasty, two meals a day gradually became common three meals a day. Moreover, the three meals began to be divided into breakfast, lunch and dinner. Breakfast, called cold utensils in the Han Dynasty, refers to the snacks used after getting up in the morning and washing. To the Tang dynasty, cold tools began to have the name of heart.
