Ten New Year Pictures of Shaanxi Customs and Habits

Noodles are like belts, pot helmets are like pot lids, peppers are vegetables, steamed buns are sold in big bowls, bowls and pots are hard to separate, Pappa is worn on the head, and the house is half built. Girls don't shut up, don't sit up, sing and shout. The top ten monsters in Shaanxi are actually a unique life.

As the saying goes, "a hundred miles of different winds, ten miles of different customs." In this yellow land of Shaanxi, due to the influence of climate, economy and culture, Shaanxi people (Guanzhong people) have formed some unique ways in food, clothing, housing and transportation and the East. Outsiders are very curious about this, and they call it "Ten Monsters in Shaanxi" (that is, "Ten Monsters in Guanzhong"): the face is like a belt, the pot helmet is like a pot, the pepper is a dish, the steamed bread is sold in a big bowl, and the bowls and pots are difficult to separate. Papa wears it on her head, and the house is half hidden. The girl does not sit, but sings and shouts.

The following is a detailed introduction.

First of all, noodles are like belts

Noodles are as wide as belts. Lamian Noodles is also called Bing Bing Mian (pronounced biang-biang, which is not found in the modern Chinese dictionary). There is a difference between the authentic ice noodles made by Guanzhong people and the Lamian Noodles that city people usually eat. Authentic ice, the width of a surface can reach two or three inches, and the length is about 1 meter. When it is thick, it looks like a coin, and when it is thin, it looks like a cicada. One meal of noodles is enough, but for Guanzhong people with a large appetite, it is easy to eat 8 Liang 1 kg at a time.

People in Guanzhong eat noodles and like to knead them hard, roll them thick and cut them wide. After this kind of noodle is cooked, whether it is poured with SAO Zi or Chili, it tastes smooth and tender in a bowl. Delicious and hungry. People stretch and shrink their necks, grunt and swallow into their stomachs, eat so much that they burp a dozen times, and suddenly they are full of energy, pulling carts and carrying stones up the mountain, and they don't feel hungry for five or six hours.

Second, a pot helmet is like a pot cover.

According to legend, when Ganling was built in the Tang Dynasty, there were too many military craftsmen in service, which often delayed the construction progress and was punished for eating. So, a soldier anxiously put the dough into his helmet and baked it into a cake in the fire. Now, Guo Kun has been in Shaanxi for thousands of years.

To make a pot helmet, the noodles should be too hard to rub by hand. You have to rub it with wooden poles and then bake it slowly in a large pot with a diameter of more than 2 feet. In this way, the branded pot helmet is crisp and tender outside in the morning, fragrant and delicious, and will not deteriorate for more than ten or eight days. Guo Kui should be counted as "Guo Kui of Ganzhou (now Ganxian)".

Third, pepper is a dish.

As for peppers, most people think that people in Hunan and Sichuan can eat peppers. In fact, Sichuanese only regard pepper as a seasoning, but in Shaanxi, "no spice" is a serious dish. Even the front door of every household in Xi 'an is covered with a string of gratifying red peppers.

"Spitter" is red in appearance, fragrant in smell and spicy, which can be used to mix noodles and eat steamed buns. People often say, "It's good to eat spicy ice!"

Fourth, paomo is sold in big bowls.

"Beef and mutton buns are sold in big bowls" can be called "the first bubble in Shaanxi" and "the first bowl in xi 'an". It seems to be a waste of time to go to Xi 'an without eating beef and mutton buns. Beef and mutton buns are Muslim food.

Guanzhong people pay attention to material benefits when eating. Meat is a big piece of meat, and steamed buns are difficult to hold. Bowls are big and old bowls that can hold 6 Liang 8 Liang. The mutton bread in soup just served is very hot and steaming. When eating, use chopsticks to dial from around the bowl to your mouth and eat while dialing.

The methods of mutton steamed bread are mainly divided into cook the meat, steamed bread, soup, broken steamed bread and steamed bread. The meat should be cooked crisp and rotten. Steamed bread should be branded hard and yellow, but also insoluble in water and not rotten. The soup is made of beef and mutton bone marrow. Break the steamed bread as evenly as possible, then add seasoning such as steamed bread, meat, vermicelli, onion, salt and monosodium glutamate, and cook in a frying pan.

Because of the different cooking methods, there are two kinds of mutton buns: boiled and fried. The amount of soup added is different, which is divided into dry soaking (less soup) and water siege (more soup). You can eat it in your own way. This kind of soup dumpling is dry, hot and fragrant, which is very appetizing. Therefore, the Paomo Pavilion chose a large porcelain bowl made in Yaozhou (Yaoxian) to hold Paomo.

Fifth, the bowl is difficult to divide.

Shaanxi people (Laoshan Mountain) like to eat with a large white porcelain blue-and-white bowl made in Yaozhou, which is nearly 1 ft. The locals call it the "old bowl". This kind of old bowl is even bigger than the small one, so it is often difficult to distinguish the bowl from the basin.

In the rural areas of Guanzhong, at the head of the village, in front of the village and under the trees, men are holding big and old bowls (a bowl of soup and rice plus two pieces of steamed bread is six or seven liang), squatting together and chatting with relish while eating. This is the famous "Old Bowl Club".

In rural areas, people work hard and eat a lot. It is enough to use an old bowl when going out, and there is no need to go home to serve rice, which saves a lot of trouble.

Six, dad put it on his head.

In the past, in the "western films" reflecting the life of Shaanxi people, it was often seen that old men and women wearing sheep belly towels and double-breasted jackets wore a black or white handkerchief on their heads. If you are lucky enough to go to the Guanzhong countryside, the shape here is exactly the same as what you saw in the movie.

It turns out that Shaanxi is rich in cotton, and locals are used to wearing handkerchiefs made of cotton on their heads. It can not only prevent dust, rain and sun, but also wipe your hands and wrap things. It's really economical and convenient.

Seven, the house is half covered.

In Xi city and rural areas of Shaanxi province, houses built on one side can be seen everywhere. What is a side cover? Generally, the roof of a house is herringbone, and the houses in Shaanxi are herringbone curled. It is said that because Shaanxi is dry in the morning and there is little rain, the houses built here can let all the rain of Jane stamps flow to their own fields, which is the so-called "rich water does not flow to outsiders."

Moreover, in the past century, Shaanxi's agricultural development has been slow, but its population has increased rapidly. Families living together in rural areas have limited land area, large population and tight housing, thus forming a history of "half-built" houses.

Eight, the girl is not foreign.

It is said that the land in Guanzhong area is fertile, so few people travel to other places to survive. So there is a proverb, "Old people don't go out (Tongguan), and Sichuan is indispensable". Over time, not only men don't travel far, but even girls don't marry far away.

Don't sit up.

Because men in Guanzhong have to squat together for three meals a day, it takes more than an hour to bribe. In addition, in winter, people like to squat in the leeward and sunny places to "bask in the sun" or "lose the party" to play chess. As a result, Guanzhong people formed the habit of squatting. Outsiders say this is "squatting up and not sitting on the bench." In fact, it is a habit to rest after people are tired.

X. Singing and Shouting

Singing opera refers to Shaanxi opera. It is characterized by high excitement and extreme haste. In particular, the singing voice of Hua Lian is even louder, and the locals call it "earning a broken head." Foreigner joke: "singing Shaanxi opera, first, the stage should be strong to avoid collapse;" Second, actors should be healthy and avoid getting sick; Third, the audience should be bold and not be scared. "

The opera "The Howler" blushed and shouted "enchanted", but as long as the audience shouted "Yes", he was as happy as winning some grand prize. People think that this is the real Shaanxi opera, which sounds "enjoyable", "enjoyable" and "excellent".
