The rice cakes in northern Shaanxi belong to the northern rice cakes. In the north, rice cakes are made of soft rice, also known as soft yellow rice and soft millet, and rice wine, also known as soft millet. In some places, glutinous rice is also called soft rice. Therefore, there are yellow and white colors symbolizing gold and silver, and there are also meanings symbolizing good luck. Because of the different uses of sticky millet, there are various methods, names, styles and eating methods. There are two ways to make rice cakes in northern Shaanxi: steaming and frying. In addition to steaming and frying, southern rice cakes are sliced, fried and boiled in soup.

Due to the geographical characteristics, the raw materials for making rice cakes in northern Shaanxi are consistent with his basic color, showing golden yellow. "There are mountains and millet in the east and valleys in the west, and the golden color is at the top of the mountain", which is a true portrayal of autumn in northern Shaanxi. Soft millet and soft millet, hard millet and hard millet are paternal twins, and their appearances are obviously different when they were young. Two fluffy oval leaves of broomcorn millet were bathed in the morning mist, and the breeze shook their heads, which was very cute. When they grow up, they will be very different. The slightly red roots are soft millet and millet, and the difference will be even greater when the ears grow out. The ears of soft millet are obviously scattered, they absorb more sunlight and nutrients, so they have a deep red color. There are two branches in front of the soft millet ear. They are petals instead of petals. After removing the hard shell, the soft millet is more round and yellow than the hard millet, and the soft millet is more yellow than the hard millet, with a slight wine smell. This is a sticky rice grain dedicated to the people of northern Shaanxi to make rice cakes on the Loess Plateau.

There is also a folk legend: a long time ago, there was more food on the earth than you could eat, and even dogs ate better than the sky. After learning this, the Jade Emperor felt very disgraceful and his face hung up. They sent soldiers to visit the earth tomorrow. These "small" suggestions smelled the smell of soft rice wine dispersed in the air, so they left directly without much consideration. Seeing the grain grow so beautifully, I can't help drooling. I grabbed the ears of wheat and bit them with my teeth. I want to taste delicious food, but the grain is growing and the rich mucus sticks to my teeth. They pulled hard, and their teeth bit open the head of the ear of wheat, and the ear of wheat split, leaving only one ear of wheat three or four feet long. Several "little guys" saw that the damage was not light, leaving a sentence: "People eat less donkeys and eat more", and hurried back to heaven with a cloud, so they reported it to the Jade Emperor. The jade emperor thinks that there is enough food left for people to eat, and dogs can't eat as much as in the sky, that's all. Since then, later generations have gained their own gains by eating ears, donkeys and shoulder poles, and it has also become an unchanging "charter" for thousands of years. In this noisy situation, Gu Mi's wine production plummeted, and with the "imperial edict" of the Jade Emperor, the world began to cherish the fragrance of Gu Mi wine, which could not be eaten until the end of the year.

Due to the extraordinary origin of soft millet, it suffered this great disaster during its growing period. When ripe, it is also golden yellow, and the rice grains are sprayed with wine. Because of their high social status, most people are deprived of their rights by bureaucrats. Ordinary people dare not expect anything on weekdays. Only at the end of the year can they have food, so the food made of soft millet is called rice cake. "How high the human heart is, how to make food harmoniously, how to choose the year to win the year, and how to pray for the year" is a true portrayal of people wanting to eat this kind of food.

It is said that after Li Zicheng became emperor in Beijing, in order to treat every day as Chinese New Year, he sent people to collect soft millet from his hometown in northern Shaanxi to make cakes, eat rice cakes every day and live the Chinese New Year. Therefore, Jiangshan, which should have been for decades, only sat for dozens of days. Of course, this is just a joke, but it is enough to show the position of rice cakes in the food of people in northern Shaanxi and the luxury of soft millet. Therefore, people in northern Shaanxi make rice cakes very carefully, not only with many styles and eating methods, but also with many legends and precautions in the process of making rice cakes.
