Ten households in the Yuan Dynasty had a kitchen knife, how did people cook?

Kitchen knives are basically a necessary tool for every household, usually used to cook and cook, and this will be the case for most of the time in ancient times, but the Yuan Dynasty was very different, the imperial court limited the number of kitchen knives people had, and every ten households could have a kitchen knife, which was actually very inconvenient for people's lives, so why did the Yuan Dynasty have such a provision? How do people cook in their daily lives?

During the Yuan Dynasty in history, the people of the country were divided into four levels: the first-class people were definitely Mongols; The second-class people are the people of color, and the meaning of "color" is people of all colors, in fact, it is the general name of the Mongolian court for all ethnic groups in Central and Western Asia, to put it bluntly, it is all other ethnic groups except Mongolia and Han Chinese; The third class is the turn of the Han people, and this class only refers to the Han people in the north; The fourth-class people are the last class, and they specialize in guiding the Han people. Because the south was the last to be occupied and submitted, it was used as a punishment and demoted to the first class.

Since people are divided into hierarchies, the authority of each level must be different. The worst is of course the Han people, in fact, whether it is the third class or the fourth class, everyone is a Han person, who can tell who is the north or the south? Therefore, the Han people suffered from the cruel exploitation of the Yuan Dynasty authorities, not to mention the heaviest tax burden, and the imperial court also strictly prohibited the Han people from privately hiding contraband, such as ** and armor.

So what can the word "wait" wait for?

It can be said that as long as it is iron, except for those required for farming, everything else is considered contraband! So the question is, does the kitchen knife you usually use for cooking and cutting vegetables count? Calculate!

But it can't be completely forbidden to let everyone return to the primitive society, so the imperial court stipulates that every ten households can share a kitchen knife, and this knife must be mastered by the Mongols, and it is now used to borrow it.

The iron law, without the introduction of smugglers, is reduced by one grade compared with the smuggling salt, the rod is sixty, the money is not official, and half of the money is discounted to pay the informant as a reward. Those who forge iron quotations are guilty of forging provincial and ministerial seals, and the official will pay the informant with two ingots of reward.

But agricultural tools and living utensils are not forbidden, and in fact they are not realistic at all, even if the imperial court wants to ban them. So, everyone can breathe a sigh of relief, our grandfather's grandfather's grandfather's grandfather and their family could stir-fry and cook normally at that time!

It is no wonder that there is a spread of "one kitchen knife for ten households" among the people, I am afraid it is more of an irony for the common people. Only by wholeheartedly serving the people can the country achieve long-term peace and stability. Therefore, it is reasonable that the short-lived Yuan Dynasty died in a hurry for more than 90 years.

Then you have to arrange the time to use the knife than to get out of other people's homes, and arrange the time**.

At that time, people would go to the river to wash vegetables together, and then go back and chop vegetables together.

Some dishes don't use kitchen knives, you can use your hands, and you can take turns cutting them in advance.

Mainly because there were too many Han people, when the Mongols established the Yuan Dynasty, they were still worried that the Han people would resist, so they chose to control their **.

In ancient times, there were so many dishes, and it was good to have porridge to drink, so you didn't need a kitchen knife.

In modern times, there are some places where knives are not used, and people in Guangzhou eat water spinach without a knife.

At that time, life was very difficult, and the industry was not developed.

The truth of this question actually needs to be investigated, because in ancient China, in fact, each dynasty would have control over knives, and each dynasty would have a different one, and the control methods were differentEven now, we also have a legal system for controlling knives, which means that each country will use a part of its authority to control it. The ordnance used by the citizens of the country is regulated accordingly. It's like we can't hold very horrible knives and guns now.

For ancient times, knives were lethal to themTherefore, in order to be able to control these knives, mainly to prevent large-scale mutinies and other threats to its own regime, the imperial court has controls on the types and quantities of some knives, which means that some of these knives are unlikely to be controlled in their daily lives. <>

If you want to use the tools for daily use, some of them must be provided for everyone to use, so there is no problem of not being able to cook. For example, the sickle used to harvest rice, which is necessary for the survival of every citizen, can also be used for the function of cutting vegetables when forced to do so, that is, even if there is only one kitchen knife for every ten householdsThere will be other tools they can use. So this hypothesis doesn't hold up at all, and they're going to use other tools to cook.

Of course, such a statement is based on the fact that they have really implemented the system of one knife for ten households, but it is unlikely that such a real situation will occur, and such a strict management method will cost a lot of manpower, material and financial resources, so this is impossible to achieve, and it is impossible to say that everyone usually does not have a knife to cook. Therefore, when we ask questions, we should also think clearly about whether there is a problem with what we are thinking, whether there is a real problem, and whether there is a need for this problem. This means that the question is a false proposition.

That's why we have a lot of problems in the world that can't be solved because they're false propositionsSo there's no way to get a correct and true answer.

A kitchen knife in ten households in the Yuan Dynasty does not have a basis in the official history, but the phenomenon of a kitchen knife in ten households in the Yuan Dynasty can often be seen in the wild history, so the statement that a kitchen knife in ten households in the Yuan Dynasty may not be accurate. After the Yuan Dynasty entered the Central Plains, in order to maintain the rule, a strict hierarchy was adopted, "the people are divided into four classes" (first-class Mongolians, second-class color people, third-class Han people, fourth-class southerners), southerners share a kitchen knife for every ten households, if there is a violator will be killed, but there is no historical data for this statement**, let's talk about why the Yuan Dynasty ten households a kitchen knife This statement is not reliable.

1. The Yuan Dynasty had a very serious precautionary psychology towards the Han people, but there was no mention of kitchen knives. After all, the Yuan Dynasty was a foreign invasion of the Central Plains, so the Ming Dynasty at that time for the people to privately possess ** and sell ** punishment was particularly serious, that is, the weapons used by the ceremonial guards in the temple must be made of soil and paper paste, and the circumstances are serious and the family property will be confiscated, but for farm tools, it is no longer prohibited, where private iron agricultural tools, pots, kettles, knives, axes, canes and destruction of raw and wrought iron, are not prohibited, after all, kitchen knives and other agricultural tools are the guys that the people eat.

Second, the Mongols were very barbaric, so they basically ignored the rule of the Yuan Dynasty. When the Han people mention the Mongols, they will feel that the Mongols are very barbaric, and it is this barbarism that can see that the Mongols are very loose in their rule over the imperial court, so their control over the ** should not be so strict, and the statement of ten households and a knife is naturally not credible, and the rule of the Yuan Dynasty over the Han people is mostly still relied on, the original Han landlords and the Han people at the grassroots level.

3. The saying that ten households have a knife may describe the lack of social resources at that time, and the people could not eat. The rulers of the Yuan Dynasty were very corrupt and greedy for pleasure all day long, which led to the people's misery, so it became a problem for the common people to eat.

At that time, nothing was developed, especially industry, but at that time people could overcome any difficulties.

You need a kitchen knife for cooking, and it's not contradictory to use a kitchen knife for cooking, how can you cook without a kitchen knife.

It's not true, although it has always been such a rumor, but there is no relevant record in the official history, but the Yuan Dynasty did have many strict regulations in order to prevent the people from rebelling.

It is indeed true, because kitchen knives were very scarce at that time, and it was impossible for every household to have a knife. Only the rich would have a kitchen knife.

It's not true, it's a rumor, and it was for the sake of social stability.

The fact that there is only one kitchen knife in a village is not too true, and some authors just regard this as a historical cold knowledge record, and for the strength of the Yuan Dynasty, there is no need to fear that the people have kitchen knives.

It's true, the society at that time was very poor, and there must be no way to compare it with the current society, when there was indeed only one kitchen knife in an entire village.

It's true, the status of the peasants at that time was very low. The rulers, on the other hand, were more brutal and kept a tight control over the people to prevent rebellions.

Yes, at that time in the Yuan Dynasty, there was only one kitchen knife in a village, and the people in their village were also very bad.

It's not really that exaggerated, it's just that 10 households have a kitchen knife, and they do it to prevent artificial rebellion.

I think it should be normal. Because in the Yuan Dynasty, the Han Dynasty rebelled strongly, and in order to resist such behavior, every household was not allowed to have kitchen knives.

<> "Ten households in the Yuan Dynasty and a kitchen knife?

During the Yuan Dynasty, the ruler's oppression of the Han people was very serious, and the Han people were helpless to survive in such an environment, and during the Yuan Dynasty, because the population of the Han people was much higher than that of the Mongols, so under the trend of national inferiority, the rulers of the Yuan Dynasty were more strict with the Han people, and it was also stipulated that every ten Han households should raise a Yuan person, so as to indicate that the Yuan people could enjoy various privileges at that time, and the Han people were only oppressed.

There is also a saying that during the Yuan Dynasty, there was only one kitchen knife in ten households, which is simply unbelievable for modern people, after all, it is a problem to cook without a kitchen knife.

According to this statement, in the Yuan Dynasty, ten families could only use one kitchen knife at that time, and these ten families were under the management of the Yuan people, so when using the kitchen knife, they had to go to the head of A to make a report first, and they could only use it after approval.

In fact, this system not only sounds unreasonable, but also did not exist at that time, the reason why there is such a saying is that the Yuan Dynasty was very afraid of the Han people at that time, after all, the Mongols were only a minority, the Han people had a large population, if the Han people wanted to overthrow the Mongol regime, it was actually easier and easier, so in order to avoid the Han people having such an opportunity, they would control the manufacture and sale of weapons, and the rulers of the Yuan Dynasty were indeed very strict in the management of weapons. However, kitchen knives used in daily life are not included.

The rulers of the Yuan Dynasty stipulated that the sale of weapons needs to be registered in advance, and this trade can not be done at will, if it is found that ordinary people have weapons hidden privately, it is equivalent to looking for death, once it is found that the severe punishment is not a loan, and the people are not allowed to manufacture weapons privately, but kitchen knives are not included in the category of weapons as kitchen utensils that must be used in daily life, otherwise the people will not be able to survive, and they will not be able to support the Yuan people.

More importantly, although the rulers of the Yuan Dynasty at that time were more afraid of the problem of Han rebellion, the Mongols' combat strength was indeed very strong, and they were also very confident in it, so they would not feel that the common people were all soldiers because they used kitchen knives.

But then the Yuan Dynasty soon perished, the fundamental reason for the fall of the Yuan Dynasty was that the rulers of the Yuan Dynasty did not pay attention to the lives of the people, and blindly greedy for pleasure, the rulers of the Yuan Dynasty changed dozens of people in a few decades, the regime was very chaotic, they only did not know how to fight the world but did not know how to govern the world, and they have been putting pressure on the people, dividing the crowd through an unreasonable hierarchy, so that the long-term accumulation of unreasonableness and dissatisfaction made the Yuan Dynasty go to extinction.

Because the Yuan Dynasty was afraid of the people rebelling, it was true that the people of the ten households were asked to use a kitchen knife in order to prevent them from rebelling.

What is untrue is a rumor, which may be due to the Yuan Dynasty's strong restrictions on private weapons, and it is exaggerated.

This statement is recorded in historical sources, when the Yuan Dynasty in order to maintain its rule, ten households could share a kitchen knife, which is true.

During the Yuan Dynasty, 10 households shared a kitchen knife, which seems to be a certain possibility. But when you think about it, it's completely bullshit, and it's completely impossible.

In China's 5,000-year-long history, only the Qing Dynasty and the Yuan Dynasty were ruled by ethnic minorities. Among them, the Yuan Dynasty was ruled by the Mongols, a minority ethnic minority, and after the Mongols ruled the Central Plains, they were naturally extremely defensive against the Han people in the Central Plains, fearing that these Han people would rebel against them, so they would finally seize the country and snatch it back again.

So under such a premise, it is understandable that they control everything that can be used in battles and wars. And if the kitchen knife is operated properly, it is easy to kill people with it, so many modern people will think that since the kitchen knife can be used as a **, if the government can control the kitchen knife and let 10 households share a kitchen knife, then the probability of resisting the Yuan Dynasty will undoubtedly be reduced a lot, and even if it resists, it can only be unarmed.

But you might as well think about it carefully, 10 households share a kitchen knife, when it comes to the meal, how to use this kitchen knife, who will do it first, who will do it later, and even if the order is lined up and not noisy, then the process of eating will be infinitely extended, and the working time for other things will undoubtedly be reduced a lot, which is a huge loss for the Ming Dynasty. Secondly, there was such a rumor in the Ming Dynasty that the father and son went up the mountain to chop firewood and encountered a fierce tiger, so the two of them hacked the tiger to death with a sickle and became the hero of the tiger at that time. As you can imagine, if you don't even use a kitchen knife, how can you use a more powerful sickle?

In the long river of history, there are many things that were not originally made up by later generations, in fact, there are many things in some records that are not true, and they need to be carefully judged to determine the truth of the matter.
