So where did they come from?
A strange noodle like a belt, Guanzhong bold, love to eat wide noodles, thick noodles, so like the noodles and hard to knead soft, roll thick, cut wide. "Pulling noodles wide like a belt". A noodle can be a meal, eat fast, and resistant to satiety, pulling a frame car, carrying stones on the mountain, natural strength.

Three monsters oil splash spice a dish, in Sichuan, Sichuan people just take the spice as a kind of seasoning, but in Shaanxi "oil splash spice" is a serious dish. In Shaanxi, a string of red chili peppers will be hung in front of the door of every household. "Oil splash hot pepper" look red, smell fragrant, eat spicy, can be used to adjust the noodle, but also can be sandwiched between the bread to eat.
Four strange pots and bowls are difficult to separate; old Shaanxi people know, we eat old Shaanxi, like to use a Yaozhou production of nearly 1 foot of white porcelain blue and white large bowl "old bowl" to eat. This old bowl is bigger than a small pot, so it is often difficult to separate the bowl.

Six strange house half cover, both in Xi'an city and Shaanxi rural areas, can be seen everywhere "side cover" of the house. What is a side cover? The roof of the general house is herringbone shape, but the house in Shaanxi is one side of the herringbone. Why are houses built in half? In the old days, when people were poorer, half-built houses were made of wood, which saved a lot of wood, and this type of courtyard house was the mainstay of Guanzhong residents. The "house half covered" is a big landscape in Guanzhong.
Seven strange girls don't get married, the land in the region is fertile, so very few people to survive and travel to other places. Thus, there is "old not out of the pass (Tongguan), less under the Sichuan" proverb, over time, not only the men do not go out to travel, even the girls are not married to other places. The old custom that their daughters married outside will be bullied, and outside the daughter-in-law married to the family and afraid of losing, so in general the girl is not to marry outside, basically will be in the county.

Especially the singing of the flower face, but also tore his voice and roared loudly. In fact, the Shaanxi people are bold and enthusiastic, thick voice, more people together when the voice is more flood. In Shaanxi farmers farming or herding, across the mountains met, always have to pull a talk, to kill the boredom of time, if you do not know, singing Qinqiang, folk songs is also a way to recognize the exchange of methods, so the mountains echoed with the sound of thick.
