In October 1999, when it rained heavily in Tunliu County, Shanxi, a villager in Song Village, Gaoli Township, went out to cultivate the land as usual, but as he walked, he suddenly found a black hole in the hillside, and there were some bricks next to it. The village chief saw the bricks next to the black cave, and he thought that the black cave was most likely the entrance to the tomb, so he hurriedly reported the news to the local cultural relics research institute.
When the staff of the Institute of Cultural Relics learned the news, they immediately felt the scene with professional archaeological tools, and after research, they decided to carry out a rescue excavation of the tomb. The ancient tomb found in SongCun is an imitation wood building structure, the entire burial chamber is made of bricks, although this tomb was entered by tomb thieves, but it was not damaged, so the tomb chamber is still very complete.
In the process of cleaning up the tomb, the painted paintings on the walls of the tomb attracted the attention of the staff, and all parts of the tomb were painted, and the ancients first brushed with white powder, and then painted with red, black, and yellow paints, so that the entire tomb added a mysterious atmosphere.
On the left side of the east door there is a picture of the kitchen, and we can see that there is a rectangular stove with an 8-story steamer on it, and a man is standing next to the steamer, lifting the steamer lid, as if trying to take out the food inside the steamer.
The steamers on the murals are exactly the same as the steamers are now, so experts believe that the food inside the steamers is the buns, but what are the fillings of these buns? Before officially revealing the secret, we also need to understand the changes of buns in the Jin Dynasty.
According to historical records, the Jin Dynasty Jurchens are located in the northeast border, because there are more mountainous areas, so the beasts and aquatic species are also more abundant, when the Jurchens were mainly hunting and fishing, but because the cooking technology is relatively backward, so they like to eat raw meat, and the demise of the Liao laid the foundation for the Jin Dynasty to go south to the Song Dynasty, when they conquered the Song Dynasty' Fenjing, not only occupied the living area of the Han people, but also brought the advanced culture of the Song Dynasty to the Jin Dynasty, it is clear that the chefs of the Song Dynasty were also brought to the Jin Dynasty, because of this, They not only ate delicious food, but also ate buns.
The buns of the Jin Dynasty were made by the chefs of the Song Dynasty, so the way and materials should be made should be similar, and the filling of the buns should also be the same as that of the Song Dynasty. According to Mr. Sun Shizeng's research, the practice of buns at that time was very simple, only need to cut the meat shreds, and then put in pepper noodles, salt and other ingredients, wait for the noodles to be good, you can wrap the buns, at that time the shape of the buns and steamed buns are similar, one by one is very good-looking, it looks like there is appetite.
"Tokyo Dream Hualu" records that the WanglouShan Cave plum bun in the capital city is the first in Beijing, that is to say, or, their family's bun is the most delicious, in addition, the book also writes: more takeaway soft sheep buns, many in this sentence, refers to the types of buns are very many, which directly proves that in the Song Dynasty, buns have become a popular food, in daily life is common, chefs can also according to the taste of guests to pack different buns, such as: shrimp buns, crystal buns, large meat buns, etc.
We need to know that the bun filling of the Song Dynasty does not mean that the variety of fillings of the buns of the Jin Dynasty will also be more, because the Jin Dynasty is located in the north, the weather is very cold, but both the taste and shape of the buns are close to modern buns. Dear readers, seeing the murals of steamed buns by ancient chefs, do you want to eat the fragrant big buns?
