Old Beijing
Old Beijing is a traditional name for the ancient capital Beijing. As one of the ancient capitals of China, the core of old Beijing culture is to stress rules, etiquette and inheritance. As a famous historical and cultural city, Beijing has a long history of snacks. Beijing snacks, commonly known as "instant food" or "vegetable tea", are formed by combining the characteristics of many folk snacks and court snacks in Ming and Qing Dynasties, with a wide variety and unique flavor.
There are about 200 or 300 kinds of snacks in Beijing, including side dishes and wine (such as boiled sheep's head, fried belly, roasted sheep's head in Bai Kui, pickled mustard tuber chopping board, etc.). ), pasta used at banquets, and various snacks as snacks or breakfast supper. Among them, bean juice, enema, fried liver, Mapo tofu and Zhajiang Noodles have the most Beijing flavor.
Knowledge expansion:
As the imperial capital of Ming and Qing dynasties, Beijing has the highest material and cultural living standard in China and relatively developed transportation. However, compared with the world at the same time, Beijing's traffic is quite backward.
Beijing people have a long tradition of keeping pets, and they are very knowledgeable and particular. To be exact, in the past, old Beijingers called all kinds of animals that they liked to keep and enjoy as "playthings", and seldom used the word "pets". There are quite a few pets that old Beijingers like to keep, which can be roughly divided into four categories: birds, insects, fish and mammals.
Keeping pets is not only a hobby of old Beijingers, but also an important part of old Beijing culture. People get a kind of spiritual pleasure and enjoyment when they enjoy their pets. Old Beijingers regard keeping pets as an elegant thing, as elegant as playing chess, drinking tea and discussing paintings.
Old Beijingers are polite, particular and taboo in their daily life. As the saying goes: "There are 3,600 famous hutongs in Beijing, and there are a lot of unnamed hutongs." Indeed, Hutong can be said to be one of Beijing's characteristic landscapes and cultures. Old Beijing is made up of hutongs, which are the essence of Beijing.
