Second, sweets occupy a certain position. This has a certain origin and relationship with Arab Muslims’ love for sweets. After giving birth to a baby, Arab Muslim women put honey juice or dates into the baby's mouth before starting to breastfeed. After the baby is born, the Hui people in Ningxia also have the custom of using brown sugar to open their mouth. Many of the famous dishes of the Hui people are beets, such as it is like honey, fried lamb tail, sweet and sour pork, etc. There are even more sweets in rice noodles, such as cold cakes, cut cakes, eight-treasure sweet dishes, sweet twists, sweet dumplings, glutinous rice cakes, glutinous rice cakes, persimmon cakes, paste trays, etc. The Hui people in Ningxia also make traditional Muslim delicacies oily and fragrant. After making a sweet, when preparing the dough, add honey, brown sugar, etc. to it. Third, beef and mutton dishes account for a large proportion of the dishes. The Hui people particularly like to eat beef and mutton, which is related to Islamic dietary ideas. Islam advocates the consumption of meat such as cattle, sheep, chickens, ducks, and fish, and prohibits the consumption of meat from pigs, donkeys, mules, and ferocious birds and beasts. Liu Zhi said in "Tianfang Ceremony" that "diet nourishes one's temperament" and "all birds that eat grain and animals that eat cud are good in nature and can be eaten." He also said, "Only camels, cattle, and sheep It has pure virtues, has many beneficial effects, and can be used as food." The foods advocated by Islam are all delicious foods. The so-called "good food", Mr. Ma Jian explained, is food that is pure, delicious, and nutritious. More specifically, it must have a good appearance, a delicious smell, and a rich nutritional value. Taking sheep as an example, they have a docile temperament, are clean themselves, their meat is delicious, and they also have nourishing and therapeutic effects on the body. Mutton ingredients contain protein, fat, vitamins, calcium, phosphorus, iron and other minerals. Regular consumption of mutton can whet the appetite and strengthen the body, dispel cold and boost yang, and nourish the kidneys. Daily Drinks The favorite traditional drink of the Hui people is tea. Tea is not only a daily drink for the Hui people, but also the most precious drink for entertaining guests. Tea is an important part of the Hui people's dietary life. No matter you go to the northwest, northeast or southwest, whether it is a city, town or rural area, as long as you visit a Hui home, the enthusiastic host will first serve you a bowl of hot tea. The Hui people are very particular about tea sets, and many Hui families have complete sets of various tea sets. In the past, the pots used to make tea or make tea were generally made of silver and copper, with various forms and unique styles, including long-mouthed copper teapots, silver duck pots, copper fire pots, etc. Nowadays, porcelain pots, covered bowls or porcelain cups with lids are generally used to make tea. Tin and iron pots are often used to make tea. In summer, purple clay pots are particularly popular. Gaiwan tea is a unique way of drinking tea among the Hui people in the northwest. It is said to have started in the Tang Dynasty and has been passed down to this day. It is very popular among the Hui people. Gaiwan tea consists of three parts: tray, tea bowl and tea lid, so it is called "three forts". Every hot summer, Gaiwan tea has become the best thirst-quenching drink for the Hui people; in the cold winter, the Hui people get up in the morning, sit around the stove, bake a few slices of steamed buns, or eat some steamed buns. I can never forget to scrape a few cups of tureen tea. The Hui people also regard Gaiwan tea as a good treat for guests. During festive events such as Eid al-Fitr, Eid al-Fitr, or weddings, when guests come to their home, the enthusiastic host will hand you a cup of Gaiwan tea, steamed buns, Dried fruits, etc. for your tea. There are many etiquettes when serving tea, that is, opening the lid of the bowl in front of the guests, putting in the tea ingredients, pouring water, covering it, and serving it with both hands. Doing this means that the cup of tea is brewed specifically for the guest, as a sign of respect. If there are many guests at home, the host will prioritize the guests according to their age, seniority and status, and serve the tea to the guests first. When drinking a bowl of tea, you cannot remove the lid, nor blow the tea leaves floating on it with your mouth. Instead, pick up the tea bowl tray with your left hand, grab the lid with your right hand, and gently "scrape" it a few times. It can be decanted to remove floating tea leaves and other objects, and secondly, it can promote the melting of rock sugar. Scraping the lid is very particular, scraping it once will make it sweet, scraping it twice will make it fragrant, and scraping it three times will turn the tea into clear soup. After each scraping, tilt the tea lid and drink with your mouth. Do not pick up the tea cup and swallow it continuously, nor gasp and suck on the tea bowl. Drink slowly one mouth at a time. When the host serves tea, the guests generally should not be polite, and they should not not drink the tea as it will be considered a sign of impoliteness and disrespect for the host.
