Eight eccentrics in Shaanxi summed up eight different living habits of Shaanxi people and other parts of the country. These habits are the life customs formed by Shaanxi people in their long-term production practice and have obvious regional and cultural characteristics.
The first monster: "noodles are like ribbons": Guanzhong, Shaanxi Province is the birthplace of farming civilization and the main producing area of winter wheat in China. Shaanxi wheat flour has smooth gluten and high starch content. Shaanxi people can make more than 200 kinds of pasta with wheat flour as the main raw material. Especially the hand-made "Shaanxi Lamian Noodles" is the most famous. The lasagna pulled out is the same as a belt, so there is a saying that "noodles are like belts".
The second monster: "The pot helmet is like a pot cover": Shaanxi people use a large iron pot when flipping the pot helmet, paying attention to slow stew and meticulous workmanship. The branded pot helmet is concave, brown and refreshing, and the size is similar to that of the pot cover.
The third monster: "spicy oil is a dish": Guanzhong, Shaanxi Province is rich in peppers, and there were few vegetables in the past. Shaanxi people can make a living by mixing chili pepper with salt and vinegar. Therefore, eating Chili peppers is a very common dietary phenomenon in Shaanxi.
The fourth monster: "Squatting up without sitting on a stool": In rural Shaanxi, eating "squatting" is a landscape. Every time a man arrives at a meal, he always takes the meal outside his own door and uses this time to communicate with his parents about short-term farming. At this time, everyone is not sitting on the bench, but talking about things. It is common for people not to sit on the bench when playing chess, having a meeting or chatting. Even if there is a bench, everyone is used to squatting on it.
The fifth monster: "Handkerchiefs are worn on your head": In the past, rural people were poor, and they always wore a towel made of hand-woven cloth on their heads, which was dust-proof and sweat-wiping, and was also a decoration.
The sixth monster: "the house is half-hidden": there is plenty of rain in Guanzhong, Shaanxi Province, and people in Guanzhong generally build houses with sloping ovaries. This architectural style not only keeps warm, but also facilitates the flow of rainwater.
The seventh monster: "Girls are not open to the outside world": Guanzhong is rich in products, many people and rich in life. It has been a livable place since ancient times. Therefore, Shaanxi people are generally reluctant to marry girls to other places.
The eighth monster: "Qin Qiang does not sing or roar": Qin land is high and thick, with four distinct seasons. The unique geographical environment has cultivated the heroic and rough personality characteristics of Shaanxi people. Shaanxi opera originated in Shaanxi, which conforms to the climate characteristics and people's character, and its singing is desolate, high-pitched and heroic. Therefore, there is a saying that Shaanxi opera "roars".
As a cultural phenomenon, "Shaanxi Eight Eccentrics" is really charming and tasteful.
