What kind of dishes are the "Five Symphony Plates" brought to you by Bian Xiao, the school easy search? I hope I can help you.
We all know that beginning of spring is one of the 24 solar terms, which means the changes of the four seasons. When spring comes, everything will enter the growing season. Modern people paid little attention to beginning of spring, but the ancients attached great importance to beginning of spring. At that time, they also established a custom of eating in early spring. For example, in the Jin Dynasty, there was a dish called "Five Pan Xin", which was a gift dish from spring. What vegetables are there in the spiced dish? Everyone must be curious about this question. Let's start with the ingredients prepared by ancient beginning of spring. Let's have a look.
After the Spring Festival, it means that spring is getting closer and closer.
The frozen rivers will be gradually unsealed, and the spring breeze will melt the long-frozen plant body temperature like a warm current.
"It's beginning of spring. It's only four o'clock." Write down the festive significance of the important symbol of beginning of spring with concise brushstrokes. Because this day "begins here, spring wood begins, so it is called standing." Therefore, beginning of spring has become people's greatest expectation for a beautiful season.
In fact, as early as the pre-Qin period, people had already held a grand ceremony for beginning of spring. At that time, the classic Historical Records left a comprehensive record for later generations. On the day when spring begins, the Emperor of Heaven will lead three officials, nine princes and doctors to hold a sacrificial ceremony in the eastern suburbs. The protagonist who was sacrificed was the "Ju Mang" spring god who was in charge of the East, so he was regarded as the decisive god of a year's harvest, so he prayed to him for good weather and abundant crops.
Even in the Han Dynasty, this kind of sacrificial activity still became an important national ceremony. Because Ju Mang is the god of vegetation, also known as "Di Qing", officials in the Han Dynasty used cyan for all their clothes and sacrifices when welcoming Ju Mang, and officials also wore blue headscarves. Floating in the spring breeze, groups of big men set off a blue ocean picture.
if the rape blossoms had just turned green then, everything would be full of vitality. However, the desire for green is warned in the Book of Rites: "At the beginning of spring, you should not eat too much lettuce just to welcome the New Year." Therefore, the solar terms at this time are still too cold, and people should be careful not to be greedy when tasting the taste of spring.
Since then, the research on eating in spring has become more and more abundant, so a gourmet has invented a spring dish called "five-heart dish", which may be a collection of five kinds of wild vegetables in early spring. In the Western Jin Dynasty, there was a record of "Yuan system five-spice plate". It is said that eating this can remove the internal heat since winter and "make the five internal organs angry". However, it is still unclear which five kinds of wild vegetables this "spiced" is, and the specific information will definitely not be guessed by future generations, but this beautiful state is envied by future generations. From Wuxinpan to Chunpan Prefecture, the year of "Four People's Moon Order" records: "Wuxinpan was made in Yuan Dynasty. This "five spices" refers to garlic, garlic, leek, cloud moss and coriander.
People think that these foods can "relieve qi, open five internal organs and relieve fever". This is the best food to eat in early spring. But in fact, it is not limited to these five vegetables, and other spicy or bitter vegetables can be substituted. Now it seems that these can also play the role of sterilization and cold. In the Tang dynasty, the five-heart dish became a better spring dish. On the right, you can see white radish, lettuce leaves, spring cakes and sauce. What is the lettuce here? For the ancients, it refers not only to lettuce, but also to all raw vegetables. In the literature, radish and leek are also called lettuce.
So eating in spring is infused with a lot of cultural flavor, which makes people turn pale.
Since then, offering sacrifices to Ju Mang has been handed down gradually, and it has also received extensive attention in the Tang and Song Dynasties. In the Tang Dynasty, the activity of "whipping cattle in spring" appeared again. The so-called whip symbolizes the agricultural activity of driving cattle to cultivate and reflects that cattle are an important member of traditional agriculture. In the song dynasty, the record of local customs was even promu
natural, and Kaifeng people also actively participated in it and actively expressed their deep sustenance for the year. On this day, under the impetus of the emperor himself, this sense of ceremony was pushed to a climax. Because on this day, the emperor will invite ministers to eat and drink. What will they eat? Nature has something to do with spring. By studying the pictures at that time, it was found that they would eat lettuce, radish and pork, and the meat and vegetables were brightly colored. In the Southern Song Dynasty, this kind of ostentation and extravagance was even more luxurious. "Emerald green silk is extremely exquisite, each dish is worth tens of thousands of dollars." Throughout the banquet in the court of the Song Dynasty, we can really see the exquisite taste and cultural tradition contained in it. This tradition continues to this day, and we call it "gnawing on spring". However, just the word "chew" has lost a lot of aesthetic feeling on the screen, replaced by a rough and informal style. However, the desire seems to be the same, that is, "bite a bright future." Eating only carrots is really boring.
However, people in the Northern Song Dynasty were not careless about such days. Compared with the royal spring dishes, homemade folk vegetables are more vivid and ingenious, attracting people to celebrate their birthdays.
Yang Wan sends a message to a spring dish): "A cake is like seedling paper, but it can't be windy, and a dish is as bad as green. The leek bud rolls up the millet, and the reed clothes are cut into ice and cold. " Spring cakes are as white as cocoon paper, and vegetables are as thin as silk. The leek is tender, and the dream is crisp as ice chewing snow. All the fun in spring is gathered into a bundle, rolled into spring cakes, and pleasant notes pass in and out between the teeth. Song Fangyue also described the spring festival in this way: "Qing will be crisp, roll up the moon, and chew out the poems of the palace merchants." As the beginning of the new year, such a dish with good taste and sound is really perfect.
Among all kinds of spring dishes, Song people seem to prefer leek and leek yellow. Su Shi's "Sweet wormwood and yellow leeks try spring dishes", Huang Tingjian's "Yellow leeks shine on spring dishes" and Yang Wanli's "Yellow leek buds roll with chicory to relieve purple" are obviously also about leeks. However, with the development of society, there are more and more colors of vegetables in spring vegetables, and the leading role of leeks is gradually becoming less obvious. In the Yuan Dynasty, the book "Making Poor Spring Vegetables in Spring" written by Lu Yechu, a Khitan, listed various ingredients such as lotus root slices, onions, peas, Artemisia selengensis and leeks. Complex and rich, we can already see the shadow of today's spring cakes. All activities seem to promote people's desire for production, and farming has always been closely linked to green.
The theme of Spring Festival activities in the Song Dynasty has always been related to persuading farmers, but in the Ming Dynasty, this kind of activities became a bit boring, and it was more a kind of entertainment for collective activities.
According to the records in Tu Niu Jing, the day before beginning of spring, Shuntianfu held a Spring Festival ceremony outside Dongzhimen. "Honours, ministers, dignitaries and warriors" all rode horses in spring, and the scene was boiling. The next day, in beginning of spring, dignitaries did not eat exquisite spring vegetables worth tens of thousands of yuan. Whether it's expensive or not, "everyone chews radish, which is called' biting spring'", and they also entertain each other and eat "spring cake dishes".
among the spring cakes in the Tang dynasty, there are naturally spring cakes, but they are not the absolute protagonists. In the Ming dynasty, people began to call it "spring cake", but the name "spring plate" was rare. According to Menghua Road in Tokyo, at the beginning of spring, the emperor will send spring cakes to Guan Bai at the noon gate. But this custom obviously inherited the tradition of the Song Dynasty.
since then, in the Qing dynasty, this activity has become more and more simple and direct, and it has been described as "biting the spring", which means that the green hills are not relaxed. Therefore, radish has become the most direct choice among all vegetables, and eating some "spring rolls" has completed the activity of "biting spring". It is worth seeing that, in the year of "Deliberate Records", there are "spring rolls" that are fried: human ham, pork, chicken and so on. Wrap it in dry noodles, or use vegetables from all seasons, roll it up and fry it in a pot. And "wild duck spring rolls", I
