Origin—

There are two theories about the origin of hot pot: one is in the period of China Three Kingdoms or Wei Wendi, 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.

Shu Wei recorded that during the Three Kingdoms period, when Cao Pi was the emperor of the Han Dynasty, there was a hot pot made of copper. People use hot pot to rinse pork, cattle, sheep, chicken, fish and other meat, but it was not popular at that time. Later, with the further development of cooking technology, various hot pots appeared one after another. In the Northern Song Dynasty, there were hot pots in the pubs in Kaifeng, Bianjing, in winter.
