China has been around for 5,000 years, and human history has a long history, of which food culture is an indispensable one for people. There is a saying that goes: "The people take food as heaven." "In the eyes of the people, the heavens and the earth are big, the food is the biggest, and the things that can be fed and fed can be solved, and the rest is naturally a small thing." Now the food culture is diverse, but also derived more ways to eat, supper has always been people's favorite.
But if the prosperity of the food culture on the rise began in the Song Dynasty, people at that time also had a night market life, and tea fighting and dim sum were even more varied. The history of rice can be traced back to about 13,000 years ago, but its widespread popularity began in the Song Dynasty. So what did the Tang Dynasty people eat before the Song Dynasty, that is, more than 1,000 years ago? In fact, not all of them eat rice, but generally eat this kind of thing.
In the ancient Book of the Tang Dynasty, it is mentioned that the people generally eat steamed cakes, pancakes, hu cakes, soup cakes, etc., which is also their staple food, which can be seen that the people of the Tang Dynasty are generally based on pasta. Although rice was also eaten, it was exclusive to the emperor and the dignitaries, and rice was still eaten earlier, so even in the prosperous Tang Dynasty more than 1,000 years ago, it was not widely popularized.
Until the Song Dynasty, people's living standards generally improved, rice gradually became the staple food of the people, and also through many skillful people to make a variety of different ways to eat, has also been passed down to this day, has become a necessary food for every household.
