In the Pre-Qin Period, Han, and Jin Dynasties (2100 BC-420 AD), the Southern Silk Road of China included the Sichuan-Yunnan-Myanmar-India line and the Sichuan-Yunnan-Vietnam line. During this period, Chinese food culture spread constantly along the Southern Silk Road, promoting people's diet and living standards and social and economic development in different regions. With respect to food utensils, use of bronzeware, ironware, and pottery was disseminated. Spread of dietary ingredients mainly involved spread of rice and its production technology. Food types spread included betel pepper sauce, Zongzi, and other glutinous rice foods. Merchants from different countries and regions played an important role in spreading Chinese food culture during this period.
