Xi 'an is reminiscent of the ancient capital Chang 'an, the Terracotta Warriors with a long history, and the people of Guanzhong who are bold and simple and have a red revolutionary tradition. Shaanxi has also formed its own unique folk customs in the historical development. People use jingles to summarize it as "the top ten eccentrics of an"-noodles are like belts, pot helmets are like pot lids, chili dishes, bowls and basins are indistinguishable, handkerchiefs are worn on their heads, the house is half covered, girls are not open to the public, benches do not sit or squat, stones are slept, and Shaanxi opera does not sing or roar. So how did these top ten monsters come from?
Among Xi's top ten eccentricities, four are related to food customs, namely, "noodles are like belts", "Guo kui is like a pot cover", "Chili is a dish" and "bowls and pots are indistinguishable", which shows the uniqueness of Shaanxi's diet. Shaanxi can be said to be a big pasta province. "Noodles like noodles" refers to the wide and long noodles in Shaanxi. You can't eat them slowly like a delicate lady eats Yangchun noodles, but you should eat them swish, generous and realistic. Besides noodles, Shaanxi also has some special diets, such as Guo Kui and mutton bread in soup. "A pot helmet is like a pot cover" refers to a pancake as big as a pot cover. When people can't knead the noodles until they are hard, they will make them into a cake the size of a pot cover, and then bake them slowly in an iron pot. After baking, it is crisp outside and crisp inside, big and hard, just like Xinjiang naan, which can be stored as dry food for a long time. Mutton steamed bread is a representative diet in Shaanxi. Steamed bread is cooked carefully, and the soup is thick and rotten, fat but not greasy, which makes people have an endless aftertaste after eating.
Regardless of noodles, Guo kui and paomo, a bowl of oil is indispensable on the dining table of Shaanxi people, which is one of the top ten monsters in Shaanxi, "a dish in Chili". The peppers produced in Shaanxi for a long time are red in color, long in length, sharp in head and full of spicy taste. Shaanxi people dried them, pounded them into Chili powder with a mortar, and then poured hot oil, which became oily and spicy, and poured them on noodles and steamed bread, which was very enjoyable to eat. And eating with tableware, generous Shaanxi people naturally don't like the small bowls and plates of Japanese and Korean cuisine, but use old bowls bigger than ordinary small pots. After putting the top strips, they poured oil and spicy food, picked up the dishes and squatted on the ground to eat. Another strange phenomenon in Shaanxi is "squatting up without sitting on the bench", precisely because Shaanxi people don't like to sit and eat. In rural Shaanxi, you can see villagers squatting in the corner and chatting in the sun.
Xi 'an's other ten eccentricities are about clothes, housing, marriage customs and entertainment. "Handkerchief on the head" means that the old lady in Shaanxi likes to wear a handkerchief on her head. Guanzhong area has strong wind, strong sunshine and little rain. Wearing a handkerchief on your head can protect you from the sun and sand when you are working, and you can wipe your sweat when you are hot. Wearing a handkerchief has become a symbol of simple Shaanxi people. It is precisely because of the drought and lack of rain in Shaanxi that we cherish the rain very much, so Shaanxi people build houses with eaves facing the courtyard to let the rain flow into the courtyard. The eaves of ordinary houses are herringbone, but the houses in Shaanxi look only herringbone, which forms the "half-built house" of Shaanxi's top ten eccentricities. In such a house, uncle Shaanxi sleeps with a stone instead of a soft pillow, which is one of the top ten monsters. Because it is very hot in summer in Guanzhong, sleeping on a cold stone can cool off the heat, but this stone is uncle Shaanxi's "gold does not change".
Shaanxi people have a strong concept of settling in their native land. In the old days, there was a saying in Shaanxi: "If you don't leave Tongguan, you have to go to Sichuan.". They think that Shaanxi is the most suitable place to live, and they don't want girls to marry outside, so Shaanxi has formed a strange phenomenon of "girls don't go abroad". In addition, at weddings and funerals or important rural ceremonies, Shaanxi people will also set up a stage to sing their local opera-Shaanxi Opera. Shaanxi opera is full of sound and emotion, which can be heard from miles away, so "singing and yelling" has become one of the top ten eccentricities of Shaanxi people.
Nowadays, with the development of society, several of Shaanxi's top ten eccentricities have gradually faded, such as squatting on the bench and wearing a handkerchief; It is an impossible custom that girls are not outside, but the confident atmosphere and bold and enthusiastic personality of Shaanxi people reflected by these ten eccentricities have not changed.
Xi 'an's land belonged to Yongzhou in ancient times, and the yellow soil here was called "yellow soil", which was listed as the place with the highest level of land resources and was also the first land called "Tianfu". China has always been the political, economic and cultural center of China, because the most influential and prestigious dynasties, namely the Western Zhou Dynasty, the Qin Dynasty, the Western Han Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty, were based here.
Today, if you have a book gentleman, I will talk to you. What are Xi's "Top Ten Monsters"? However, some scholars believe that it would be more perfect if the title of the book was changed to "Ten eccentrics in Guanzhong".
The first monster: noodles are like belts. The Guanzhong area of Shaanxi Province is rich in millet, which has been mainly pasta since ancient times. Almost everyone here eats spaghetti three times a day. Guanzhong girls can learn to make clothes without embroidery, but they must learn to make pasta first.
If a girl can't cook pasta when she gets married, she is often looked down upon by her husband's family. "Belt face" is as refreshing and bright as Guanzhong people's personality. The width of the face is necessary, just like a belt, hence the name.
The second monster: a pot helmet is like a pot cover. Speaking of the second monster, Shujun wants to tell you a legend. According to legend, the grain carried by the State of Qin is easy to get moldy when it is fighting for the unification of the six countries.
After thinking hard, the army chef figured out how to grind wheat into flour, ferment it, knead it, throw it, pinch it, pat it, twist it, press it, roll it into a big cake, and then burn it in a 70-80 cm iron pot.
The tripod helmet is as big as it is, so it is shaped like a pot cover.
In addition, there is a good custom in this pot helmet, that is, the grandmother in Guanzhong will make this cake for the grandson of the full moon, and tie the money on the pot helmet and hang it around the grandson's neck, but this size is made according to the grandson's head circumference!
The third monster: a plate of peppers. When it comes to peppers, people will first think of Sichuan. In fact, Guanzhong is the place to eat Chili to the extreme. If neighbors come home for dinner, they can live without meat and wine, but if there is no pepper, they will definitely be rejected by the guests.
You Shujun likes spicy food very much, especially oily noodles. Every time I think of participating in a bowl face to face, I will sprinkle special Chili noodles, shallots and vegetables on the noodles, and pour in hot oil and stir. When that spicy smell entered my nose, the whole person was very happy.
The fourth monster: the bowl and the pot are not separated. The bowl in Laoshan Mountain is deep and round, almost as big as a basin, just like the generous and simple nature of Guanzhong people. After a busy day, Guanzhong people often pick up the old bowl and talk about life with their neighbors at sunset, which makes people feel that happiness is actually that simple.
The fifth monster: a handkerchief on his head. Now Guanzhong is rich in products, and few people wear this kind of clothes. However, the effect of this handkerchief cannot be erased. Wearing a handkerchief can not only protect your hair from the sun, but also wipe your sweat at any time. No wonder some old people still wear white handkerchiefs when they go out.
The sixth monster: the house is half built. This half-built house, also known as the "street back", is a unique homestay in Guanzhong. The formation of this kind of house is mainly to deal with the unique sandstorm and dry climate in Guanzhong. Of course, saving materials and using local materials is also one of the important reasons. Today's Guanzhong people have lived in spacious buildings, and this unique half-room in Guanzhong has gradually faded out of people's field of vision.
The seventh strange: the girl is not outside. The girl in Guanzhong was just like the girl in Imperial Capital now. They have the pride of the emperor's feet and generally only marry locals. In addition, local girls are conservative, and getting married is entirely up to their parents. Parents certainly don't want their daughters to get married far away, so Guanzhong girls never traveled far that year!
But now, great changes have taken place in Guanzhong people's thoughts. The girls here not only walked out of Guanzhong, but also walked into countries all over the world.
The eighth monster: Squat up without a chair. No matter which film and television works related to Shaanxi, you will see the scene of squatting at the root of the wall and eating noodles in a big bowl, which has become the symbol of Shaanxi theme. For a book gentleman, this used to be difficult to understand. Will eating in this position hurt your stomach?
However, it is this attitude that reflects the simple and natural life attitude of Guanzhong people. It must be much more comfortable than those who show dignity when sitting in danger.
The ninth monster: the pillow stone. Seeing this strange thing, Shujun can't help thinking of the ancient stone pillow, which can not only refresh the mind but also prevent cervical spondylosis, and has its own temperature regulation function. No wonder it's called "gold does not change"!
The tenth monster: Qin opera doesn't sing or roar. You Shujun once filmed "Shaanxi Opera School" with the program group, witnessing the whole process of troupe students from makeup to performance. Their headmaster and You Shujun introduced that Qin Opera is the originator of various operas, but it is different from other operas, and it is a kind of singing with real voice, so its timbre is high and passionate. It is precisely because of this that the original and unrestrained characteristics of Shaanxi Opera are maintained.
Nowadays, the traditional "Ten eccentrics in Guanzhong" have slowly disappeared in the traffic, and some folk customs handed down now have also been integrated into the modern atmosphere due to the development of science and technology. Some scholars can't help but sigh. In 10 and 20 years, when we mention the "ten eccentrics in Guanzhong" again, will no one understand? A book gentleman tries hard to record and is willing to spread the things of these nationalities with his meager strength.

As for Pappa, some older ladies like to wear Pappa, which can prevent dust and wind. And the last girl has been a rich place in Guanzhong since ancient times. Everyone likes to marry girls to the local area, so they will suffer when they go abroad, so they will not marry outside!
