Did the ancients also eat barbecue like this, with a skewer oven and dipping ingredients, and a set of three pieces for soul barbecue? The artifacts in the museum tell you

The Painting of Banquet "is a stone carving of the Xuzhou Han Portrait Art Museum. The Han Bronze Hanging Stove is in the collection of the Pizhou City Museum. The Linyi Wulibao Han Portrait, a stone carving of the kitchen, and the Zibo Barbecue Fire is out of circulation. Place a handful of pork skewers on the red-hot stove, complete with a handful of soul cumin chili noodles, and a roll of small pancakes, enjoying yourself. Nowadays, barbecue is spread all over the country, and many places have developed unique local barbecue skewers: Xinjiang Red Willow Barbecue with rugged style in the northwest, Jinzhou Barbecue with sea and land in the northeast, Yunnan Barbecue with everything in the southwest, Guangdong Barbecue with exquisite seafood in the southeast... Of course, there is also Xuzhou Barbecue, one of the birthplaces of barbecue. Over two thousand years ago, during the Han Dynasty, how did the people living on this land get together? Let me tell you about the artifacts in the museum. The Han Dynasty stone carvings record how the ancestors of Xuzhou strung together. It depends on how the ancestors of Xuzhou ate barbecue. They also need to visit the Xuzhou Museum. This city had a barbecue "three piece set" since the Han Dynasty, and the heroic barbecue style of our ancestors "ten waists and ten balls, shouting chili peppers and oil" has continued to this day. But what was the scene of ancient people eating barbecues like? The image record is hidden in the Han Dynasty stone carvings in Xuzhou. Chen Zhao, Deputy Director of the Office of the Chinese Painting Museum of Xuzhou Museum, told reporters that there is a "baking basin" in the main exhibition building of Xuzhou Museum, which is speculated to be used not only for heating by grilling, but also as a barbecue utensil. There is also a Han painting statue stone containing barbecue content in the main exhibition building, and there are four statue stones in the Han Painting Museum that also depict the scene of ancient people eating barbecue. The most typical one with records of barbecue cuisine is a Han Dynasty portrait stone from the Eastern Han Dynasty. This portrait stone was unearthed in Dongyan Village of Han Wang in Tongshan, with a height of 78cm, a width of 70cm, and a thickness of 25cm. It was carved using the technique of flat ground scraping and shallow relief. The screen is divided into three layers, with the top layer engraved with two people. The person in the middle is holding a long knife and cutting meat on the table. The person on the right is holding instant noodles to fan the fire, while the person on the right is holding skewers to cook barbecue. Some meat food is hanging in the upper left corner, and there is a sheep bound with four hooves waiting to be slaughtered on the far left; There are also two people on the middle floor, one on the left sitting in front of the stove, and one on the right standing in front of the well to draw water. There are also some earcups and other utensils on the screen; The bottom layer is a scene of vehicles and horses traveling. In this Han Dynasty portrait stone, we can even clearly see that, similar to how we eat barbecue nowadays, lamb is one of the best choices for going to the oven. The person in the painting cuts the meat into pieces, skewers it on a stick, and then grills it over the fire, which is very different from our current way of eating. Although the cooking methods are similar, if we really travel back to the Han Dynasty, we may still not be accustomed to the Han Dynasty version of skewers. Chen Zhao introduced that compared to modern times, the cooking methods of the Han Dynasty are basically similar, but the taste is different from today. From archaeological and cultural data, the main reason is that there are not as many spices as there are now, Because at that time, the spices introduced from the Western Regions had not yet popularized throughout the country. For example, when cooking meat, it means boiling white strips of meat and dipping them in sauce. I speculate that grilled meat is also similar, and the possibility of dipping the roasted meat in sauce is relatively high, because meat sauce, horseshoe sauce, etc. have also been unearthed in Xuzhou. Nowadays, there is also a way to eat grilled meat with sauce, but in the processing of ingredients, spices must not be used
