Extended information:

The "Eight Bowls" in Shaanxi is the memory of the old Shaanxi people. The old Shaanxi people once had a living place called "Pit Yard", which was to dig down on a flat bottom and build an open-air house underground, which was somewhat similar to the architectural caves in the Loess Plateau.

There is a saying in the pit yard that "you can't see the village when you see the trees, the house when you see the village, and the people when you hear the sound". At present, the pit yard has been listed in the national cultural heritage list. Old Shaanxi people usually plant a tree in the pit yard to prevent outsiders from falling unfortunately.

Old Shaanxi people who want to hold a happy event will set up a row of pots in the yard, and ten pots will cook at the same time, which is the "eight bowls" in Shaanxi. The villagers sit in the pit yard and eat the delicious "eight bowls" with simple folk customs and are very carefree.
