The Study on the Processing and Utilization of Triticeae Crops in Turpan during the Jin and Tang Dynasties and Textual Research on the Relevant Terms from the Unearthed Document and Pottery
We aim to make a textual research on the terms of Triticeae crop processing products from the unearthed document and pottery.In addition,combined with archaeological evidence,the processing and use of Triticeae crops in Turpan during the Jin and Tang dynasties were further discussed.The results indicat-ed that"Yi"meant the husk of Triticeae crops and"Ze"referred to the product of milled Triticeae crops,which was mainly used as fine fodder for cattle and horse.Although"Maifan"can be used to refer to cooked food,it is more likely to represent hulled barley caryopsis in the Turpan and Dunhuang documents.The meaning of"Bei"on the pottery is the same with"Chao"in the document,which both refer to finely dry food made from Triticeae crops.In addition,this study demonstrated that Turpan people used mill to produce flour and"Luo"to screen out the bran and various types of cooked wheaten food played an important role in their diet during the Jin and Tang dynasties.All the above evidences showed that the processing and use level of Triticeae crops in Turpan has been comparable to the inland of China by this period of time.
