Answer 1

food

Step-by-step explanation:

Fang ding vessels found in royal tombs were used in rituals involving food.

This was a common practice, seen as something decorative for the tombs of kings and nobles. In these vases food was offered as offerings in religious rituals, in addition to drinks offered to ancestors. These rituals were performed during family times, or in halls, where a banquet was offered to the living and the dead.

Answer 2

Option - food is the correct answer.

Food vessels such as fu, gui, and dui were popular in Zhou times. These disappeared during the Han dynasty, during which the ding, zhong, hu, and fang were the main vessel types used. In Western and Eastern Han, the ding was one of the most common bronze-derived shapes in pottery.
