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

According to legend, ten households in the Yuan Dynasty had only one kitchen knifeIn fact, this is not credible, because the Yuan Dynasty did not prohibit the people from having kitchen knives, and the people at that time had their own kitchen knives for cooking.

According to some folk legends, it is said that when the Yuan Dynasty ruled, the status of our Han people was very lowIn order to prevent the Han people from rebelling, the rulers of the Yuan Dynasty made strict restrictions in many aspects, and it is said that one of them was a very excessive rule, that is, the Han people were not allowed to have kitchen knives at homeBecause I am afraid that the common people will use the kitchen knives at home to make a rebellion. Therefore, when ordinary people cook, only 10 families can share a kitchen knife, and this kitchen knife has to be managed by a Mongolian, without the permission of this Mongolian, there is no kitchen knife to cut vegetables and meat.

Now when people hear such regulations, they all feel that the Han people in the Yuan Dynasty lived too pitifully, and 10 families took turns to cook a meal with a kitchen knife, which was not half a day. Even the folk also spread that the origin of the knife cut noodles is related to the regulations of the Yuan Dynasty, saying that there was an old man who kneaded the dough and wanted to cut the noodles, but could not borrow a kitchen knife, so he picked up an old iron ** on the way, and used this iron ** to cut the dough into the pot to cook noodles to eat, and the noodles tasted very good after being made, and thus invented a method of cooking noodles, which was later called knife cut noodles.

In fact, the Yuan Dynasty did not stipulate that ordinary people were not allowed to have kitchen knives at home, and even allowed people to have woodcutters, slaughtering knives for killing pigs and cattle, etcThe provisions made in the "Yuan History Criminal Law Chronicle" also prohibit the common people from owning military equipment such as bows and arrows, knives, guns, spears and armor, and if the court finds out that there is a military ** in the house, they will generally be immediately executed, which can be determined. Historians have not found a documentary record that the Yuan Dynasty did not allow ordinary people to hide kitchen knives in their homes, which should be a rumor, but some people made it up for after-dinner entertainment.

In the Yuan Dynasty, because every family lacked kitchen knives and iron tools, when it came time to cook, every household would take turns to cook and set the order of use in advance.

I think if they really need to use knives, they can borrow them, and if they can't use knives, they won't use them, otherwise it's too troublesome, and the families with knives are all powerful and powerful families.

Most of them cut the vegetables first, cut them out for several days, and at that time they also used their hands to cook at that time, so they used fewer knives.

At that time, people gathered the vegetables of several families, cut them with knives, and then distributed them to each family.

It's normal to use a kitchen knife to cut vegetables, because ten households and a knife are simply nonsense, and the power of a hoe is probably greater than that of a knife, so it's better to have a hoe for ten households.

Because there are more Han people, the Mongols are afraid of someone resisting, thinking that the kitchen knife is a sharp weapon for their resistance, so the Yuan Dynasty court stipulates that every ten households can enjoy a kitchen knife together, and the Mongols are in charge.

As usual, this sentence is from Yuan's ban on the people. But at that time, most of the people were Han Chinese, and the Yuan Dynasty failed to implement this mechanism, and people still mostly used kitchen knives to cut vegetables, and a few times used axes and firewood knives to make do.

There is no doubt that the Yuan Dynasty was the dynasty with the lowest status of the Han nationality in China's feudal history. Although it was the only two non-Han dynasties in China, like the Qing Dynasty, compared with the later Manchu royal family, the attitude and methods of the Mongol rulers towards the Han people were obviously much more ruthless. When it was said that in the Yuan Dynasty, Han people could not have kitchen knives in their homes, and the rulers of the Yuan Dynasty would even stipulate that only every ten Han households could have one kitchen knife, was there really such a rule in the Yuan Dynasty?

Ten families use a kitchen knife, what should they do when cooking? Those who want to believe this statement are most concerned about this. However, most of this legend is only conjecture, and the actual credibility is not high.

Although there is no conclusive written historical evidence to support this statement, it is an indisputable fact that the rulers of the Yuan Dynasty controlled ** more than the previous dynasty. The law of the Yuan Dynasty stipulated: "Those who make weapons without permission in the counties and counties of Daru Huachi and Zhutou are forbidden."

The ceremonial guard of the temple of the gods is not replaced by civil and colored paper, and those who use real weapons are forbidden. ”

In the Yuan Dynasty, most of this law was made for the Han Chinese, while the Mongols were not bound by the law. Han Chinese are not allowed to hold weapons except as soldiers. Although the Yuan Dynasty is vulgar, it is not stupid, at least it can't let the Jerry have a chance to rebel, and the Han people still have to guard against it.

But it is limited to weapons and armor, and kitchen knives are not involved at all, and "ten households share a kitchen knife" is very likely to be a rumor.

In fact, it was impossible for any feudal dynasty to prohibit the use of folk kitchen knives. As we all know, Chinese people have always paid attention to "food for the people". If the kitchen knives used for cooking were restricted, the people would have fried the pot a long time ago, which not only did not play a preventive role, but would be counterproductive.

If you really have to go to the designated place to get a kitchen knife to cook every meal, and you have to queue up, it's still too unrealistic!

In this way, we may understand that the Yuan Dynasty was not stupid enough to ban kitchen knives and other self-accelerated demise decrees. So how did this statement appear, anyway, the historical data will definitely not be found, it is estimated that it was fabricated by the revolutionary party in order to propagate the national renting revolution in the late Qing Dynasty. Those legends, let's just look at them as a joke, there is really no need to study anything seriously.
