Noodles are a very old food, which originated in China and has a long history. The earliest record appeared in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and it has been more than 1,900 years.

The earliest physical noodles were discovered by scientists from Institute of Geology and Geophysics, China Academy of Sciences. During their geological investigation in Lajia Village, Minhe County, Qinghai Province, in the upper reaches of the Yellow River on October/October/October/April, 2005, they found an upside-down bowl 3 meters underground in a floodplain sediment.

The bowl is filled with yellow noodles, the longest of which is 50 cm. By analyzing the composition of the substance, the researchers found that this bowl of noodles has a history of about 4000 years, which greatly advanced the history of noodles.

Noodles were originally called "cakes", and "water-boiled cakes and boiled cakes" were the first examples of Chinese noodles-"cakes, and noodles were also combined" (cited by Liu Xi's Interpretation of Names), which meant that the food made by mixing flour with water was called "cakes"; Noodles or dough pieces boiled in water are also called "cakes".

Noodles were recorded in different dynasties. There are historical records from the early Eastern Han Dynasty, Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties to the late Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties. However, at first, the names of noodles were not uniform. In addition to the common noodles, boiled cakes and soup cakes, there were also some names such as water-induced cakes, non-support, and simmered cakes.

The word "noodles" was not officially used until the Song Dynasty; "Noodles" are long strips, but there are countless patterns. What are cold-washed, warm-washed, plain noodles and fried noodles are all "noodles".

The methods of making noodles are amazing, such as rolling, cutting, poking, sipping, rubbing, pressing, rubbing, leaking and pulling ... Chinese noodles are not only the staple food for economic satiety, but also the best food for elegance.
