Development history

Snail powder first appeared in the late 1970s. Although the history is not long, snails and rice noodles have a long history in Liuzhou. Liu Wen, who has been engaged in cultural relics and archaeology in Liuzhou for more than 40 years, believes that from a small perspective, the historical and cultural development track of Liuzhou is a history of collecting edible snails. ?

More than 40 years ago, Chinese archaeologists found a large number of snail shell sediments in Bailiandong and Dalongtan Liyuzui sites. "About 20,000 years ago,' Liujiang people' living in Bailiandong began to catch snails for food and learned to use fire. At present, the Bailiandong site still has the remains of primitive people' burning snails'. " Jiang Jinyuan, director of the Bailiandong Cave Science Museum in Liuzhou, said.
