Dim sum(딤섬의 역사)

Dim sum is a type of Chinese cuisine that originated in the southern provinces of China over 2,000 years ago. It began as a snack food for travelers on the ancient Silk Road. Dim sum literally means "touching the heart," and it refers to the small, bite-sized portions of food served in steamer baskets or on small plates. Dim sum became popular during the Song Dynasty (960-1279) when tea houses began to offer it as a side dish to their tea. In the 19th century, dim sum evolved into a full meal, and restaurants began offering a variety of dishes. Today, dim sum is a popular food in China, Hong Kong, and many other parts of the world. It is traditionally served during breakfast or brunch hours and is often enjoyed with tea. Some popular dim sum dishes include steamed dumplings, pork buns, egg tarts, and rice rolls.
