The details are as follows:
Dabobo, a noodle of Han nationality, was used for offering sacrifices in ancient times, and now it is still used for offering sacrifices to ancestors in the Spring Festival in Jiaodong area. It is mostly produced in Jiaodong Peninsula in Shandong Province, and its popular areas are Yantai, Weihai and Rizhao, also known as Jujube Bobo.
The history of jujube cake can be traced back to wheat planting, and it has a long history. From the beginning of wheat, there has been a sacrifice. In the 6th century BC, during the epoch-making period, Xuanyuan opened up agriculture, and wheat was planted in Shandong, Shanxi, Henan, Hebei and other places, but it was not popularized all over the country.
During the war, in order to commemorate Xuanyuan, farmers began to have a cake to express their gratitude and respect for Xuanyuan by making a fragrant and big flower cake. The origin of the cake began with sacrifices, mainly to heaven, land and black and white weddings, and the jujube cake was the main sacrifice. In the Ming dynasty, Bobo had spread all over the country, and every household could do it and could do it.
In the traditional customs of Jiaodong people, every household will steam some flower cakes every holiday, and decorate the steamed cakes with patterns such as dragon and phoenix, pomegranate bloom and lotus throne, in which all auspicious wishes are condensed. In addition to being eaten by their own families, they will also give flowers and cakes as gifts to relatives and friends, which means that the days are thriving and prosperous.
In Jiaodong, the most delicious thing for Chinese New Year is to eat the fat cake in vain. From New Year's Eve onwards, all families have to offer sacrifices to the kitchen god, the god of wealth, the gods of heaven and earth, the family hall (also known as the bodhisattva) and the ancestors (also known as the old man's mother), etc., and the offerings of this sacrifice are indispensable.
People in Jiaodong make jujube cakes for the New Year, for good luck. The cake is made of dough, which means "Dafa". "Jujube" is homophonic with "early", so the jujube cake contains the meaning of "early hair" and "great hair". Whether looking forward to a prosperous career or eager for a developed business, in short, the word "fat" really contains the good wishes of Jiaodong people for a better life.
Extended data:
Jujube bobo is also the protagonist of a happy event. There is a highest level of making a cake, and the cake can "laugh", that is, when it is out of the pot, it cracks a hole, which also has a good meaning, but it is not possible to achieve this level. The "smile" of the cake is related to the skill of flour mixing. When mixing flour, the fermented flour should be added with raw flour, so it is easier to crack, and normal dough is not funny.
The hair of "Famian" is the same as that of "getting rich", which is also a good moral. This is very particular when holding a wedding ceremony. People often see who has done a good job in the form of competitions, and the number of cakes made at the time of marriage is also particular. Four cakes are one joy and eight are double happiness. Before the wedding, there were no dishes, just a pair of candles and eight cakes.
Jiaodong Popland, which has a history of thousands of years, shows the intelligence and wisdom of Jiaodong people, is the pride of the Chinese nation, and is a beautiful landscape of Jiaodong pasta culture.
