What are the eight eccentrics of Shaanxi?

The details of the eight strange things in Shaanxi are as follows:

1. Half-sided houses? Most common in rural areas of Guanzhong. Usually the houses are in an "M" shape, which is commonly called Xia Zifang. The two half-sided houses are symmetrical. Build, open the door in the middle. Function: Tall gables, safe from thieves; thick walls, high roofs, warm in winter and cool in summer. This kind of house structure is also different from official houses. In ancient times, yamen or temples were all herringbone-shaped bow-ridged houses with windows open to the outside. This kind of structure makes rural people feel unsafe. The house is still half-built, with two pairs of eaves in an "M" shape, and surrounded by high walls and thick doors, which makes sleeping at night feel safe.

2. People in Guanzhong call handkerchiefs "Papa" when wearing handkerchiefs on their heads. In those days, rural women in Guanzhong wore papas on their heads all year round. Function: decorative, dust-proof and dust-proof. Folk song: "A melon girl, if she can't bear the basics, she will eat black buns." In those days, young people had a custom of "grabbing papa" to enjoy themselves when they married a daughter-in-law. In addition, when people in rural areas of Guanzhong went to "eat soup" in the past, they often had "papa" in their pockets, which was called "tangshui papa". Is it convenient to wipe your mouth? I think this is more environmentally friendly than modern people wiping their mouth with napkins.

3. Kick up without sitting down. In those days, old men and boys in the countryside of Guanzhong were used to kicking up on stools. It was common for people to sit up on the couch in front of their door, eating and chatting with big bowls in their hands. It can be regarded as an original rural cultural phenomenon. I guess it may have something to do with the "military households" in ancient times. It is easy to get up and run at any time by kicking. If there is any enemy, you can leave your job and leave, so the habit has spread. A female comrade once learned the Shaanxi dialect and said: "If there is a bench, you sit down, but if there is a bench, you sit down."

4. Pot helmets are like pot lids? There is a lot of folk pot helmets. The big ones are called Guokui, and the small ones are called Fufu. The diameter of the iron pot in rural areas of Guanzhong is about sixty or seventy centimeters. When frying the pot helmets, you can make dough according to the size of the pot, about a finger thick, put it into the pot, use wheat straw to burn it on the stove, and the newly baked pot helmets Charred on the outside and soft on the inside, delicious. Fufu is easy to carry and is now mostly used for eating mutton dip. According to research, pot helmets originated in the pre-Qin Dynasty, making it easier for soldiers to carry them when marching and fighting. It is said that the soldiers of the Qin Empire in the past destroyed the six kingdoms by eating pot helmets. Perhaps the term "dry food" comes from this.

5. Spicy dishes. People in Guanzhong eat every meal without spicy chips. No matter how fragrant the noodles are, they will not be happy without spicy food. The custom of eating spicy chili may be related to the immigrants from Guanzhong. According to historical records, during the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Shaanxi recruited a large number of farmers from Sichuan, Hubei and other provinces and settled in Guanzhong to open up wasteland and farm. Naturally, they also brought the habit of eating chili pepper to Guanzhong. In addition, according to local folklore, spicy peppers are high in vitamins, and eating spicy peppers is good for the eyes. Guanzhong folk song: "Eight hundred miles of Qinchuan are filled with dust, and 30 million children are singing Qin opera. I am beaming with joy when I hold a bowl of noodles, and I mutter the spicy food."?

6. Noodles are like trouser belts? Guanzhong Known as the "Eight Hundred Miles of Qinchuan", it has been a wheat-producing area since ancient times, and local people mainly eat pasta. So there are many traditional ways to eat noodles, such as steamed noodles, fried noodles, dry noodles, soup noodles, soup noodles, broken core noodles, piang piang noodles and so on. The word "biang" alone has many strokes, complex structure, and strong cultural flavor. It is a unique word for a kind of pasta in the Guanzhong area of ??Shaanxi. But I can’t find it in the dictionary, nor in Cihai, and even outsiders don’t know it.

As for the writing method of this character, a folk song from Guanzhong for thousands of years goes like this: "Fly up to the sky at one point, the Yellow River bends at both ends, the mouth is wide open, and the words go forward, twist to the left, twist to the right, twist to the east Long, long to the west, with a horse king in the middle, with the word "moon" on the side, and the word "heart" on the bottom, with a hook and knife hanging on the right side, and a sesame candy hanging on it. "Walking around Xianyang in a carriage" follows the rhyme and a simple and dignified figure will appear in front of you. , the word "biang" comes to life.

This clever and humorous combination of the word "biang" not only summarizes the characteristics of the place of origin, the feelings of the eaters, the essentials of the craftsmanship, and the hard work of the makers, but also reflects the broadness, length, and angles of the people of Qin. The character traits and cheerful spirit of great suffering and great joy. "Trousers belt noodles" is just one of them, also known as pulled noodles. Mix the noodles with salt water in advance, let them rest for an hour or two, and then start kneading, rolling and pulling the noodles. It is usually about two fingers wide, about a penny thick, and about sixty to seventy centimeters long, just like a trouser belt. Cook it in boiling water, put it in an old bowl, and eat it with a kick.

7. Qin Opera roars. According to research, the prototype of Qin Opera began in the Qin and Han Dynasties, formed in the Tang and Song Dynasties, and flourished in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Depending on the needs of the plot, the rhymes of the Qin Opera's female characters can be euphemistic and touching, or sad and sad. The singing of Qin Opera Shengjiao is generally exciting and high-pitched, especially the singing of Qin Opera Jingjiao, which is like roaring and makes the face turn red from holding back. It is commonly known as "General Nu" among the people.

Qin Opera is rooted in the folk. Most people in Qin can sing a few lines at some time or another. Perhaps roaring Qin Opera is a way for Qin people to vent their emotions. In the past ten years, Shaanxi TV station "Qin Zhi" "Sound" is even more popular! Tell me: Are you happy and shouting Qin opera? You are quite annoyed, why are you shouting Qin Opera? Are you sad, why are you shouting Qin Opera? I have watched many types of operas, but only Qin Opera can make people cry! Especially after listening to the crying tunes of Qin Opera, you can’t help but cry if you don’t want to. This is the charm of Qin Opera!

8. Bowls and basins are inseparable. In the past, in the rural areas of Guanzhong, almost every household had several "old bowls". These "old bowls" were as big as small basins and were very suitable for young men with big appetites. In the past, rural people liked to serve old bowls when eating, and they would eat and drink in crowded places. The old bowls contained a lot of rice, which not only saved them the trouble of adding rice, but also did not delay the gossip.

This kind of old coarse porcelain bowls mostly come from Chenlu Town, Tongchuan. In those days, many villagers in Fuping Liuqu, Caocun, and Xuezhen areas were engaged in the business of selling old bowls. Nowadays, people in rural areas are as meticulous as people in cities. They use small white bowls for eating. It is almost rare to see big old bowls made of rough porcelain.
