1. What were the three meals in ancient China? In ancient times, the food in the morning was called incense, and the second meal was called feeding (b?), which was also called (s? n). People are used to having three meals a day. There are five levels of food intake. The first meal is called "Chao Shi" or "Li", which is eaten when the sun is in the southeast (corner). The second meal, called "Shi Xiang" or "Shi", was eaten around 4 pm. As for the time of eating, the ancients said that "food is irregular" (The Analects of Confucius). In a rage, he ordered "to reward soldiers every day" to boost morale. After the Han Dynasty, two meals a day gradually became three or four meals. And the three meals are divided into breakfast, lunch and dinner. Breakfast was called a cooler in the Han Dynasty, which refers to snacks used after getting up and washing in the morning. In the Tang Dynasty, cold weapons began to be called "warm heart". In many parts of China, breakfast is still called breakfast. Lunch was once called "lunch" or "bento" by the ancients. When people eat two meals a day, people think that "saints and people farm and eat together, and they start with food" (Mencius Teng Wengong). Eating food once means the end of the day. People often use it today.
