At first, there were different opinions about the origin of noodles, some said China, some said Italian, some said Arabic, and each had its own opinions and arguments, until a new archaeological discovery in China directly delayed the discovery of noodles to 4000 years ago-noodles in the late Neolithic period.

Think about it, my friends, as early as 4,000 years before the birth of Jesus, the great ancestors of China had already started to cook a bowl of warm noodles for themselves in a harsh environment, and their wives and children were warming the kang.

Since this discovery, the birthplace of noodles is no longer controversial, that is, China Qiang.

2. Hot pot before 2000

Hot pot is a unique food in China with a long history. According to research, there were hot pots in the Warring States period in China, but the pots at that time were still made of clay pots. Until the Song Dynasty, eating hot pot was very common among the people. It is generally believed that the earliest prototype of hot pot was the tripod of the Zhou Dynasty, but with the continuous archaeological discovery in recent years, perhaps we can push the emergence of the prototype of hot pot to 20 thousand years ago.

This is pottery found in Xianren Cave in Jiangxi, China. It has a history of 20 thousand years. Maybe someone will say I'm joking. With fragments of clay pots that can be seen everywhere in China, the prototype of hot pot was pushed to 20,000 years ago? Well, I'll tell you, this clay pot is used for cooking and making soup.

Twenty thousand years ago, the primitive people in the world were still in the era of hunting and gathering. They didn't practice or raise, but only depended on luck and ate according to God's face. What are China people doing at this time? A group of people around the grass skirt, sitting together, eating meat cooked in clay pots, isn't this the embryonic form of hot pot? They even sing a little song. Twenty thousand years ago, Chinese ancestors had already lived a comfortable life of "eating hot pot and singing".

There are many legends about traditional food in China and eating jiaozi in New Year. One is to commemorate Pangu's creation and end the chaos; Second, it is related to the legend that Nu Wa made man. When Nu Wa made man, the ears of the aborigines were always frozen off because of the cold weather. In order to fix the ear, Nu Wa tied the ear to the native's ear with a thread, and then the other end of the thread was bitten by the native. Only in this way can we solve the problem. Later, in order to commemorate Nu Wa, ordinary people made jiaozi into the shape of an ear.

1978 10, archaeologists excavated a set of bronze ritual vessels in the ancient city of Xueguo, Shandong Province, including a bronze container with triangular food neatly opened on it. According to analysis, it is jiaozi, a traditional food in China. This is the earliest jiaozi discovered so far, about 2600 years ago.
