The history and culture of beef noodles Lanzhou was called Jincheng in ancient times.

In Lanzhou, the Yellow River passes through the city. With the Yellow River's irrigation for thousands of years, the civilization history of Jincheng Lanzhou can be traced back very far.

Lanzhou has been called the "Heart of the Land Capital" since ancient times. It is a military fortress in history and one of the important towns on the Silk Road.

Zhang Shu, a poet of the Qing Dynasty, once praised "Uncle Ma's Beef Noodles". The full text of the poem is as follows: When the rain passes through Jincheng Pass, the white horse rushes back.

Several times the water of the Yellow River flows, and the road is poor.

The ramen is delicious, but only Ma’s.

Delicious food is hard to come by again, looking back on my hometown is far away.

The scriptures are read at sunrise, and the white pagoda is empty at dusk.

Burning incense and sighing, only looking forward to beef noodles.

Entering the mountain is not the five springs. To nourish the heart, you must be clear.

The mountains are quiet and the waves sound urgent, and I enter a fairyland in silence.

The poem describes the delicious taste of "Uncle Ma's beef noodles", just as Zhang Shu wrote in the couplet: When I leave and look back, I still envy the rich aroma of beef noodles in clear soup; when I come back, I often tsk my lips and praise Uncle Ma's skill.

In addition, the poem also writes about several important scenic spots in Lanzhou, such as Jinchengguan, Baimalang, White Tower, Wuquan Mountain, etc.

, Jinchengguan is an important pass and traffic artery on the ancient Silk Road. Zhang Shu described Jinchengguan and Baimalang in another poem: "Leaning on the rock and waiting for Xiongguan, the throat of the Western Regions is here. The sound of Baimalang is noisy day and night.

, The shadow of the green mandarin duck tower rises out of the hills."

"Gaolan County Continued Chronicles" records: "Jinchengguan rapids surged, sounding like thunder."

"Revisiting Gaolan County Chronicles" records: "The water and rocks under the pass are turbulent, and the snow is surging and the waves are flying. It is called the White Horse Wave."

These words made me see the scenery of the white horse waves in the old days. The "white horse waves" I see now are much smaller than the "white horse waves" in the old days.

"White Horse Wave" conveys a message to people. Water can create beauty in people's lives. Without water, the world will lose many beautiful things. It is the soil and water that nurtures people.

A country's history, a county's ambitions, and a family's pedigree are an important aspect of the inheritance of human history and culture.

If the country has no ambition, the county has no history, and the family has no genealogy, the history of the development of human society will become completely blank.

The same is true for the inheritance of Chinese food culture.

Huaiqing (today's Jiaozuo area in Henan Province) has outstanding people, rich resources, beautiful scenery and moderate climate since ancient times. It belonged to the Wei Dynasty during the Warring States Period, the Han Dynasty entered Hanoi County, and Huaifu was established in the later Wei Dynasty. It was changed to Huaimeng Road in the Yuan Dynasty.

Therefore, it was abolished in the second year of the Republic of China (1913).

Boai County under the jurisdiction of Huaiqing Prefecture belongs to Jiaozuo. In 1927, Boai County was established based on the fraternity of "freedom, democracy, equality, and fraternity" advocated by Dr. Sun Yat-sen.

Boai has been rich in raw materials for making high-quality beef noodles since ancient times. Since ancient times, it has been spread that "white jade bamboo shoots whip emerald garlic, Suzhai radish and ginger" and "five-flavored beef noodles; three fresh water banquets are served to thousands of families". The food culture of the Central Plains is its

The deep connotation can be summarized into six words: fragrance, essence, beauty, elegance, emotion, and etiquette. These six words reflect the unique culture contained in the food quality, aesthetic experience, emotional activities, and social functions in the process of eating.

Meaning. During the Jiaqing period, Ma Liuqi, a member of the Dongxiang tribe in Gansu Province, learned the technique of Su Zhai Chen’s beef noodles from Chen Weijing, a student of the Imperial Academy in Qinghua (now Boai County, Henan Province), and brought it to Lanzhou.

, opened the first Lanzhou beef noodle restaurant in history and named it "Majia Daye Beef Noodles". In the next two hundred years, it was named "Yiqing (soup)" by Chen Weijing and his descendants Chen Weilin, Chen Hesheng and Chen Xiesheng.

"Erbai (radish), three greens (cilantro and garlic sprouts), four reds (spicy seeds), and five spices (noodle fragrance)" unify the standards of Lanzhou beef noodles. That is, the beef soup is clear in color; the radish slices are white and pure; the chili oil is bright red and floating;

, the garlic sprouts are fresh and green; the noodles are smooth and fragrant. The Chenjia Xiaoche Laotang Beef Noodles in Suzhai, Qinghua, Huaiqing Prefecture, and the authentic Majia Uncle Beef Noodles will always be missed. This is the sentiment of many beef noodle lovers.

The favorite of many beef noodle fans, Majia Uncle Beef Noodles are the same as Suzhai Chenjia Beef Noodles in Henan Boai. It has been memorable for two hundred years. The beef soup is rich and fragrant, and the beef is soft and has an endless aftertaste. The more you chew, the more fragrant it becomes.

The secret is to use sirloin, breast ribs, beef tendons and other parts of meat in an appropriate amount. The large pieces of beef are added with beef liver, local chicken, beef ribs and seasonings to stew the old soup. The meat is also put in a special seasoning sauce.

Cook until the meat is completely flavored, and the meat gelatin has melted into the soup, and the fragrant braised beef is ready. Lanzhou and Boai are a thousand kilometers apart, and a bowl of noodles connects the two cities. December 19, 2018.

A report by the People's Daily on Lanzhou Beef Noodles titled "From a Bowl of Noodles, See the Changes in 40 Years" from the front-line perspective of the Japanese People's Daily has attracted great attention from the party and the state media. The Chinese Communist Party Network, CCTV, and CCTV

Guangzhou, Xinhua News Agency and more than 200 domestic and foreign news media rushed to report and reprint it, which caused huge repercussions at home and abroad.

Huge achievements. Our country has implemented reform and opening up for 40 years and has achieved world-renowned achievements. The people's material living standards have been greatly improved, and the level of social civilization has also been unprecedentedly improved.
