Iron pots appeared in the Song Dynasty, as early as the Warring States period, but they were luxury goods, so they did not spread to ordinary people's homes. At that time, although there were iron pots in the Warring States, there was no concept of cooking. The popularity of iron pots was after the Song Dynasty, because capitalism appeared in the Song Dynasty. City? Speaking of development, this has also relatively promoted the development of the iron industry, so in the Song Dynasty, it can only be said that the popularity of iron pots was the most common time for ordinary people to use them.

You know, before the Song Dynasty, there was no concept of cooking, only boiling, roasting and steaming. Today, let me learn about the cooking methods of the ancients.

The Neolithic age, which likes barbecue.

Primitive people accidentally discovered fire and taught them how to prepare food with fire. However, at that time, because primitive people were far from having a set of systematic and comprehensive knowledge and logic when exploring food preparation methods, they used a suggested barbecue grill (mostly using stones and branches) to barbecue processed food, which can be said to be the most primitive cooking food and cooking method in human history.

? Cooking? The emergence of Shang and Zhou dynasties

With the development of copper industry, containers for food appeared in Shang and Zhou Dynasties (some people say it was in ancient times of Yanhuang), so people put food into metal containers on the basis of baking, add almost the same amount of water into them, then put in a series of seasoning products and finally light them. ? Cooking? The emergence of this method of preparing food is a key for human beings to eat healthily, because in all fairness, food is processed. Cooking? This is much better than barbecue food. Therefore, from the development history of diet, we can see a history of human life and health.

? Steamed? An ancient cooking method

The appearance time of steaming and boiling is similar, because of the conditions of their birth, its appearance time and? Cooking? Equally controversial, some people say it was the Yanhuang period, while others say it was the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties (but it was essentially the slave society period). According to experts, China? Steamed? Our technology is far ahead of the west. ? Steamed? What does this practice have to do with? Cooking? Similarly, the nutrition of food is well preserved, which is a good care and protection for human body and health.

During the Spring and Autumn Period, Warring States Period and Pre-Qin Period, cooking was developed.

Barbecue, as a relatively primitive way to treat food, has been well preserved by people. In the subsequent continuous development, with the appearance of bronze and iron industry, another way to treat food appeared in China, an ancient continent. What is this method? Cooking? . so this is it？ Cooking? The way is divided into frying and boiling.

As early as in Han Feizi's book "Han Feizi Jielao", he once said:? Governing a big country if you cook a little fresh? Cooking here is not familiar to us, because the concept of cooking only appeared in the Song Dynasty, so it is impossible. Cooking here means frying. The original intention of this sentence is that Han Feizi teaches everyone that governing a big country is like frying a small fish. It's very easy to blow up the front and back.

Cooking and frying is another way, that is, pre-processing food and frying it in oil pan.

Of course, besides these, there are many cooking methods in Chinese history. I won't introduce and explain it in detail here. I found several common ways to focus on cooking food.

Finally, here, I hope everyone will popularize it. Iron pots appeared very early, probably at the end of the slave period, but the concept of cooking only appeared in the Song Dynasty (also in the Tang and Song Dynasties).
