Cooking Spoons in Ancient China

Ancient chinese text speak of long spoon, p which is used to stir food while it's being cooked in a pot. But there is also apparently a small p which hang writes would be the equivalent of modern spoon. And then you've also got this other thinga thing that's a type of ladle called a sho. This is for distributing liquid like broth or wine from a large pot into a smaller bowl. One of the interesting ideas raised was that early bronze spoons in ancient china appear to have had a sharp point. And this may have been used to cut meat.
