1, it is said that the pot helmet was not called the pot helmet at first, because its shape resembles the cross section of a stump, so it was called "pier cake".

At that time, when soldiers were marching in Qin Jun, each of them weighed five or six pounds, and the diameter of each cake was about 50~60 cm, and the thickness was about 15 cm.

Moreover, the way soldiers carry them is also unique. Two cakes are a group. Two holes are drilled in each cake, tied with cowhide ropes, and one on the front chest and one on the back chest, just like the wallet commonly used by the people in the past.

This special way of carrying has become an excellent individual protective gear and played the role of armor (bullet-proof vest) in sudden combat. What is even more rare is that the arrows shot by the enemy are stuck on the pier cake and can be used to shoot the enemy after being * * * by Qin Jun soldiers. The pier cake can "eat arrows" and become a magic weapon for Qin Jun to win.

Then the soldiers called the dunbing "Guo kui", that is, the hard-faced armor made from the pot.

"Guo kui" has also gained great fame.

When Qin people go out, they must brand a pot helmet at home and let the people go out take it. This custom continues to this day.

2. When the officers and men in the Tang Dynasty built Ganling for Wu Zetian, the construction process was often delayed because of the large number of craftsmen in service, so a soldier put the dough in his helmet, put the helmet in the fire and baked it, and branded it into a cake, which was called Guo helmet.

Guo kui, also known as Guo kui, Guo kui steamed bun and dry steamed bun, is a traditional Chinese noodle snack that urban and rural residents in Guanzhong area of Shaanxi Province like to eat.

Guo kui mainly uses flour, alkaline flour and fermented flour as the main ingredients, and its appearance is yellow, the incision is white, crisp and palatable, and it can be carried for a long time.

Guo kui has many varieties, such as salt and pepper, onion fragrance, five spices, pepper leaves and so on.

The famous ones in Guanzhong are Ganzhou Guokui, Wugong Guokui, Changwu Guokui, Qishan Guokui and Fengxiang Guokui.

There is another kind of pot helmet in Xinjiang County, Shanxi Province, which is semi-circular with sesame seeds in the middle.

Guo kui is shaped like chrysanthemum with even fire color, and its skin is as thin as paper buns. It is layered by hand and cut with a knife, such as suet.

The more you chew at the entrance, the more chewy it is, and the fragrance will be endless after swallowing.
