Hot pot lovers must watch! In which dynasty was the biggest hot pot banquet in history?

The biggest hot pot banquet in history was in the Qing Dynasty.

According to legend, Yang Shen, a writer of the Ming Dynasty, went to the Imperial Garden with his father Yang Tinghe when he was a child and attended a banquet hosted by Emperor Qianlong. There is a mutton hotpot with charcoal burning in the fire at the banquet. Emperor Qianlong took this opportunity to get a pair of couplets, which read "black carbon is as red as snow", and asked the ministers to tell him that he was right. Ministers suddenly looked at each other. At this time, the young Yang Shen quietly sang a couplet to his father: "Rice Bai Rushuang."

His father then read his son's dialogue to the emperor, who was very happy and immediately enjoyed a glass of royal wine. Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty was also fascinated by hot pot. He has been to Jiangnan many times and there are hot pots everywhere. According to legend, in the first month of the first year of Jiaqing, he held a grand banquet in the palace, with more than 550 hot pots/kloc-0, and invited more than 5,000 people to taste it, making it the largest hot pot feast in history.

The origin of hot pot:

Hot pot, called "ancient style soup" in ancient times, is named after the "thump" sound when ingredients are put into boiling water. It is an original food in China with a long history. According to research, the Eastern Han Dynasty cultural relic "Iron Pot Dou" unearthed after liberation is a hot pot.

At present, there are two theories about the origin of hot pot: one is that it was in the Three Kingdoms period or Yang Di era, when the "bronze tripod" was the predecessor of hot pot; The other is that hot pot began in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and the "dou" in unearthed cultural relics refers to hot pot.

It can be seen that hot pot has a history of 1900 years in China. Chongqing hot pot is recorded in Zuo Si's Sandu Fu. It can be seen that its history is at least 1700 years.
