Historical background of Luoyang water mat

Luoyang Water Banquet began in the Tang Dynasty, with a history of 1000 years. This is one of the oldest famous banquets in China.

Water mat originated in Luoyang, which is directly related to its geographical climate. Luoyang is surrounded by mountains and located in the basin, with little rain and dryness. In ancient times, the weather was cold and no fruit was produced. Most of the folk meals were soup. The reason why it is called a water mat is that every dish can't be separated from soup and water, and that you eat one on the ground just like running water, so it is called a water mat.
