The "water mat" is trapped in Luoyang, and the water mat has become a popular local cultural symbol. Water mat, Longmen Grottoes and Luoyang Peony are also called "Luoyang Three Musts". When it comes to Luoyang water mat, it's really different. The reality is that Luoyang water mat has long been famous, which is really different. However, Luoyang water mat, a complete, ancient and atmospheric banquet, has never really got out of Luoyang City. □ Economic Viewpoint reporter Chen Yuanyuan Luoyang "The Wind of Water Seats" In Luoyang, water seats have become a local representative banquet. It is also called "Luoyang Three Wonders" together with Longmen Grottoes and Luoyang Peony. The so-called "water mat" has two meanings. One is to be good at soup, and the other is to serve food in a series of ways between banquets, eating one for another, like running water. As a big dish banquet, Luoyang Shuixi is unique in Chinese food culture. Its profound historical origin and cultural connotation make it a wonderful flower in China food kingdom, attracting tens of thousands of tourists from home and abroad to taste it every year. "Man-Han banquet is only a few hundred years old, while Luoyang water mat has a history of more than one thousand years. A nation's culture is rooted, and so is its food culture. " When talking about water mat, Li Yanting, deputy general manager of Luoyang Zhenbutong Hotel Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Zhenbutong) always connected it with the word Luoyang. In his view, there is an inseparable connection between Luoyang and the water mat. Water mat originated in Luoyang, which has a lot to do with Luoyang's geographical climate. Luoyang is surrounded by mountains and located in the basin, with little rain and dryness. People here are used to using locally produced starch, lotus, yam, radish, cabbage, etc. to make an economical and rich banquet, and gradually created Luoyang water mat with rich local characteristics over time. The way of eating water mats is permeated with the ancient capital culture of Luoyang. Luoyang water mat began in the Tang Dynasty, and there are 24 dishes, which are cold and hot, vegetarian, sweet and salty, sour and spicy, indicating the infinite scenery of Wu Zetian's 24 years in power. The order of serving is also very exquisite. First, eight cold dishes are served as appetizers, which symbolizes Wu Huang's eight good achievements in serving, ceremony, Tao, desire, art, literature, Zen and politics. After three rounds of wine, the guests will be served hot dishes, and in the 16 hot dishes, each dish also has a legendary historical allusion. There are many people who manage water mats in Luoyang, ranging from luxurious restaurants and hotels to street stalls. In particular, the small hotel operating water mats has almost become a unique landscape in Luoyang. The top spot is "really different". However, just as the industry in Luoyang is mentioned, it must be called "Luozhou" and "Yituo". When it comes to Luoyang water mat, it is really different and has become an important cultural symbol. This time-honored Chinese brand, which was founded in 1895 and has a history of more than 111 years, can not be underestimated in Luoyang water mat. The folk saying that "I didn't go to Luoyang City until I was really different" is proof. "If you want to know about Luoyang water mat, it's really different. Water mat was developed there." The staff of Luoyang Cuisine Association told the reporter of Economic Viewpoint. In Luoyang, true difference has become synonymous with water mats. "It's really different to make the Luoyang water mat, which is the most authentic and has the most local cultural characteristics. It has continued from the late Qing Dynasty to the present. It can be said that it's really different to give full play to this famous banquet." Li Yanting said. According to Li Yanting, moving from Zhongzhou Road to Jianxi and then moving back to Zhongzhou Road in the old city is really different. Especially around 1997, "at that time, due to many factors, such as system reform and the increase of retired old workers, the different operations went downhill and the operation was very depressed." Recalling the scene at that time, Li Yanting was vivid. "In the same year, in order to save the difference, it was merged into the present Luoyang Restaurant Co., Ltd. by the original catering service corporation. At that time, Luoyang Restaurant Co., Ltd. was a very prosperous company. " Li Yanting said. After that, it was really different and began a large-scale renovation. According to reports, the Imperial Palace on the fourth floor is really different, which can be said to be the condensation of the ancient capital of Luoyang in the 13th Dynasty. The Xia, Shang, Zhou, Han, Wei, Jin, Northern Wei, Sui and Tang Dynasties successively established Luoyang as the capital, and the ancient history and splendid culture are fully displayed. Here, the maps, statues of emperors and cultural relics of each dynasty are displayed in an orderly manner, as if telling people about the glory of Luoyang. In addition to hardware, the real difference has also been greatly improved in software. With the progress of the times, in the dishes, it is really different to constantly bring forth the old and bring forth the new. From the past, one bone can make a table of meals, and now all kinds of poultry, seafood and bean products have been greatly improved. "This also has a lot to do with the continuous enrichment of raw materials. Now that the living conditions are good and the material and cultural living standards have improved, different chefs have innovated the variety and structure of Luoyang water mat on the basis of inheriting traditional cooking skills, making it richer and more perfect. " Li Yanting said. It is understood that in June this year, Japanese folk artist Dong Mamei made a special trip to study art. He studied here for a week, mainly studying Luoyang water mat, which also made Luoyang water mat begin to go abroad. In 2112, Luoyang water mat was recognized as "China Famous Banquet" by China Cuisine Association. In 2113, Zhenbutong Hotel was awarded the title of "International Famous Restaurant". Among them, the really different palace water seats won the "International Food Quality Gold Award". However, Luoyang water mat has long been famous, which is really different. However, Luoyang water mat, a complete, ancient and atmospheric banquet, has never really got out of Luoyang City. "The fame has increased, and the market demand has also increased. It's really different that the current stores are full of customers every day, and they can't find a position when they go late. It's really different. Why not open a chain store?" During the first Cultural Heritage Day in Henan Province, many tourists who wanted to try something really different but failed to do so complained. "Luoyang's water mat is as famous as Huimian Noodles in Zhengzhou and steamed buns in Kaifeng, but now Kaifeng steamed buns have gone out of Henan and opened branches all over the country. Zhengzhou's Heji and Xiaoji Huimian Noodles are also blooming everywhere in Zhengzhou, but it's really different. There are no branches at present." In the eyes of outsiders, Luoyang water mat seems a bit complacent, and Li Yanting is also aware of this. He believes that this may have a certain relationship with Luoyang people's strong homesickness complex. However, it is revealed that there are some technical outputs. Really different once sent chefs to Nanyang, Xinyang, Zhengzhou in the province, Shenyang, Hebei and other places outside the province to combine with local restaurants and restaurants to make Luoyang water mats, but they did not persist for a long time. At present, only Houdefu in Beijing has done a good job, and still retains several special dishes of water seats. However, the really different brand advantages have not been further strengthened. Li Yanting believes that at present, different technologies and management can't keep up with the needs of its development. If you blindly open a branch, you can only ruin your future. In addition, because Luoyang water mat mostly uses pepper and pepper as seasoning, its sour and spicy taste is unacceptable to many southerners, so it is also restricted by certain regions. Cultural Case 3: The phrase "Luoyang Peony is the best in the world", the wealth engine of festival culture, was originally used to describe the color of Luoyang Peony. Now, the word "A" is more reflected in the annual Luoyang Peony Flower Festival. Luoyang Peony Fair, one of the "four festivals" in China, has become a business card of Luoyang. However, in recent years, the status of peony, the root product of the flower fair, is being challenged by all parties. As a result, Luoyang has played the second card of festival culture-Heluo Cultural Tourism Festival. The temple in Luoyang. The place is good and the people are good! Luoyang is the most famous ancient capital of the Nine Dynasties.
