7. The origin of the old Beijing snacks is howBeijing snack characteristics are very unique, and other areas of the snacks is the biggest difference is that, in addition to from the people, and some of the other parts of the people from the people, and then selected by the Royal Court, as a court snacks, and then, from the palace scattered to the people, the process is very unique.
The following from several aspects: First, Beijing local snacks have obvious national identity Beijing has a long history of more than 3,000 years of the capital city, has long been the center of the country's political, economic and cultural. Italian Marco? Polo praised Beijing is the 13th century, the most affluent city, the city's many households.
All of them have huge houses.
The importation of goods was as constant as the flow of water.
It also said: foreign huge prices and the import of foreign goods into the city, the cities of the world can not be compared. Beijing, one of the six ancient capitals of China, especially after the Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties became the capital, people of all races have gathered here, they brought their own national flavor food.
In particular, the Mongols and Manchus of the Yuan and Qing dynasties, who dominated the Middle Kingdom, brought their ethnic flavors to Beijing. The Yuan Empire is a large empire across Europe and Asia, waging wars of aggression, only know how to bend the bow to shoot a big eagle Kublai, from the nomadic, long riding and shooting, rapid combat action, jingoistic military, not suitable for fine cooking.
Soldiers will be helmets upside down water placed on the fire, put people slaughtered lamb shabu shabu simply add condiments to eat, very fast and convenient, and finally evolved into the popular capital of shabu shabu. It also brought milk tea made from cheese and noodle tea made from oil and milk skin.
"Yanjing Folk Food Information" records that in the Jiaqing Decouyou year (1813), Shuo Ting wrote a bamboo poem: "Milk tea has a store alone in Beijing, cheese such as ice soaked teeth and teeth. Called Kara color black, a penny to buy a cup of tea.
Original note: milk tea store sold only cheese edible, the rest of the milk for tea, said milk tea, to oil face milk skin for tea, said face tea. Boiled tea said Kara tea, Kara for the Mongolian language.
There is also a soup boiled brown rice for the rice tea called children's tea, the method began in Mongolia, and the scholar imitation. Ming Yongle years, the capital moved from Nanjing to Beijing, the ancestral home on both sides of the Yangtze River, the Imperial Army retired and settled in Beijing, as well as with the capital of the farmers, merchants, brought the southern rice planting techniques and the production of rice cakes cooking methods, Beijing also has a rice-based snack products.
Later for the *** borrowed, transplanted in *** *** snacks, become unique *** food. Qing soldiers into the customs, especially after the capital of Beijing, Manchu snacks also came to Beijing, typical varieties such as Saqi horse, its production to be cut, code two processes, cut the Manchu language for Saqi Fei, code for the code Lamuibi, and therefore take its first two words sound Saqi horse.
It has been said that Beijing snacks is a picture in the picture book of Beijing's history, colorful, now Beijing passed down the snacks, as Beijing writer Xiao Fuxing said: most of the flag people of the goblet, that Beijing snacks are mainly originated in the Qing Dynasty Palace Imperial Cuisine. According to the evidence, the charred circle, pea yellow, minced pork biscuits, small nest, etc., is indeed from the Qing Dynasty Palace Imperial Cuisine into the folk.
Speaking of Beijing snacks can not be mentioned *** *** snacks.

Beijing *** believers with the Yuan Dynasty Genghis Khan's large-scale western conquest of the results, hundreds of thousands of *** people, Persians were forced to migrate to the east, settled in China, Beijing Niujie is one of the settlements. *** *** food also came to Beijing, the Yuan Dynasty Kushihui's "food preparation" in the collection of a large number of *** food, is proof.
*** compatriots are industrious, intelligent and full of creativity. In the formation of their own national food culture at the same time, good at absorbing the essence of the culinary culture of the brotherhood, creating a different from other national *** food culture, snacks is one of the treasures.
The Qing dynasty implemented a discriminatory policy against ***, the formation of cattle street *** poverty and lack of cultural backwardness, in order to make a living, but also formed a *** two knives, eight rope occupational characteristics. But in order to make a living, the craft is more and more sophisticated, business is more and more shrewd, the emergence of new and different, the fight for superior snack varieties.
Because of the generations, also appeared to varieties of name in front of the family name in the back of the unique phenomenon of Beijing snacks, such as sheep's head horse, bean juice Zhang, popping belly stone, cut cake Yang and so on.
Of course, there are other ethnic snacks in Beijing snacks boutique. Such as fried liver in the Han Chinese snacks, brine boiled small intestine, lard rice cakes, etc., is also very distinctive.
There are also some varieties of snacks and Beijing has become the imperial examinations location, such as soup mutton, is a Shaoxing guest in Xianfeng years into the Beijing examination, because not younger brother filial piety Lian, on the family recipe bubble soup mutton, in the front door outside the deep ditch outside the mouth of the south of the north side of the road to open the Pearl Zhai, supplying soup mutton. Similar soup mutton into the Beijing Han Chinese food, and Wang Zhihe stinky tofu.
This Beijing-specific phenomenon is not found in other cities. Since the reform and opening up, the eight flavors gathered in Beijing has become a trend.
For example, the Dai's style of food, Tibetan plateau flavor food, Western Xinjiang's roast lamb, roast lamb kebabs, grilled meat, Korean ancient barbecue food, have appeared in the streets and alleys of Beijing, Beijing has become a part of the flavor of snacks. Beijing snacks of various ethnic flavors of food gathered, rather than the development of cooking itself, the need for frequent social exchanges to contribute to the activities, rather than appearing in the streets of Beijing, the various ethnic flavors of food, is the manifestation of the unity of the various nationalities of centripetal force, 56 nationalities love Beijing, Beijing, is the intrinsic cause of the development of ethnic snacks.
Second, Beijing local snacks have obvious local customs and culture Beijing has a long history, and the life of the old Beijingers is rich and colorful. The customs and culture of the old Beijingers can almost always be associated with snack varieties, thus injecting a strong local color into the Beijing snack culture.
