How popular was the iron pot in the Song Dynasty? Why do Mongols rob people's heads with pots?

The iron pots in the Song Dynasty were really popular, but it was not the iron pots in the Song Dynasty that were taken away by Mongolia. The Song Dynasty itself was a dynasty with exquisite artifacts. Many of their porcelains are good, and the pots are similar. But Mongolia itself lacks iron pots, so they will rob them.

As an instrument for making delicious food, iron pots were very popular in Song Dynasty. At that time, many food cultures in Song Dynasty were produced by iron pots. Moreover, because the navigation in the Song Dynasty was very developed at that time, there were often many maritime transactions, and iron pots were naturally traded as commodities. And there is an anecdote, which is also about iron pots. At that time, all western countries barbecued and cooked, or cooked and ate, and there was no such thing as an iron pot. Therefore, when some businessmen traded iron pots to their own countries at that time, they were also plundered by nobles as exotic goods.

In Mongolia, the iron pot is a symbol of high family status. Because Mongolians like to eat beef and mutton, the only thing that can cook beef and mutton is an iron pot. After all, those ceramic or clay ones are really not durable. When a Mongolian marries a daughter-in-law, an iron pot must be necessary. Obviously, however, Mongolians who live by nomadism can't pass smelting technology, so they can only buy it in the Central Plains. The Central Plains people are unwilling to sell the wok to them because they are afraid that the Mongols will melt the wok into a sharp weapon and threaten them in turn. But they really think too much. Mongols don't have their own iron pots to use, so naturally they won't do it, and their smelting technology is not so good. Many weapons were stolen from other countries.

Because of the iron pot, Mongolians are often laughed at. Because Mongols themselves like to fight everywhere, they can fight themselves, so as long as they win the war, they will rob things, so there will be a phenomenon that Mongolian cavalry are running happily on the earth with iron pots on their heads, which is very festive.
