In the embrace of the Qinling Mountains and the Loess Plateau, there is an ancient and magical plain. The land here is fertile, the products are rich, the weather is smooth, and the harvest is guaranteed during droughts and floods. It is more than 100 kilometers wide from north to south and more than 400 kilometers long from east to west. It is known as the Eight Hundred Miles of Qinchuan. This is Guanzhong.

The history can be traced back to 5,000 years ago, where Emperor Yan and Emperor Huang created the greatest beginning of the Chinese nation. King Wu conquered Zhou and established the Zhou Dynasty here; the First Emperor conquered Liuhe and established the Qin Dynasty here; Chu and Han fought for hegemony and established the Han Dynasty here; the prosperous Tang Dynasty pushed Chinese civilization to the highest peak in the world. Every inch of land here is condensed with thick historical accumulation and many magics and mysteries.

It’s okay to drink from a big bowl

Objectively speaking, the drinking capacity of Guanzhong people is not outstanding. Competing with the Hanzhong people in the south, the Guanzhong people may not have an advantage. However, due to the upright character of Guanzhong people, they are not good at speaking. Therefore, it is often the case that he drinks whatever you tell him to drink. If you dare to say 10 glasses per person, he may not be able to drink at all, but as long as you have not finished speaking, all 10 glasses of wine will be poured into his stomach. However, the people in Guanzhong will not tolerate you cheating and teasing them, even though you may not be malicious. I have encountered such a thing. Several Guanzhong Township Party members visited and studied somewhere in the south. They were warmly entertained. When drinking, they pushed each other and finally decided to drink a glass each. The Guanzhong people raised their necks without saying a word. , all bottomed out. Several local guests acted cunningly, and with their sharp tongue, they actually took advantage of Li'er. The man from Guanzhong couldn't stand such cowardice. He picked up the bottle and drank a few sips. Then he turned around, pulled the local out of the chair, pushed him to the ground, and drank it hard. He was so frightened that the host's face changed. , so it is best not to violate the gentleman's agreement when drinking with people in Guanzhong.

Snack stalls are set up along the way

Those who have been to Xi'an will never forget the snacks in Xi'an, especially in the night market. During the day, the road is bright and there is nothing. , at night, hundreds of food stalls will pop up, crowding the wide road, and small lights will form a sea of ??lights. In the night market, Guanzhong snacks such as fish, mashed potatoes, noodles, dumplings, oil noodles, buckwheat noodles, etc., plus various snacks of the Hui people in Guanzhong, form two major camps of the night market. Because the night market is cheap and affordable, and has a strong local flavor, it has a strong temptation for both foreign guests and Xi'an citizens. Even the young people they are dating regard eating at the night market as their love affair. essential content. Except for Xi'an, almost all towns and places in Guanzhong have night markets. It has become a food culture with distinctive regional characteristics. In fact, long before city nights appeared, the rural night markets in Guanzhong had been prosperous for thousands of years, but in different ways. The oldest night market format is still used in rural areas of Guanzhong. Under the stage on festival days and when preparing for funerals, the women and men who work in the fields during the day suddenly become the owners of food stalls. However, the varieties are just the same. Oil cakes, fermented glutinous rice, twists and other things, although the varieties are few and simple, they are already very fresh. Stalls are usually placed where there are more people, thus often blocking the flow of people and adding to the lively atmosphere. Looking back, this is the origin of the most authentic Guanzhong Night Market.

Exalts bury their reputations

Guanzhong has an extremely profound historical and cultural heritage. It not only buries rich cultural relics and historic sites, but also buries many geniuses and experts. For example, in my hometown of Huaxian County, there was a calligrapher named Wu. No one knew about him during the decades he lived. People around him only knew that he could write. When I was a child, it was during the Cultural Revolution. He would carry a lime bucket in one hand and a brush in the other, writing slogans along the wall, and we would follow behind and put the lime bucket into the playground. No one can imagine how high his writing skills are. It was not until the end of the "Cultural Revolution" that several great calligraphers from a certain city's calligraphy and painting collection accidentally saw Wu Laoyi's banner with the words "Carrying out farmland water conservancy infrastructure" and were immediately impressed by the calligraphy art that was extremely sophisticated and highly artistic. , several masters made a special trip to Shaanxi and went to Wu's hometown, hoping to get a calligraphy ink that avoided political leanings for the permanent collection of the museum. Unfortunately, Mr. Wu refused to write. Later, someone took Mr. Wu's ink and exhibited it in the book market. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be of the highest quality. Even many first-class calligraphers lamented it. It's a pity that Mr. Wu never knew how high his level was, just like the blind man A Bing never knew that his "Er Quan Ying Yue" would become an eternal masterpiece. There are countless masters like this in Guanzhong. When you go to live in the countryside, you may encounter extremely high-level calligraphers, painters, doctors, craftsmen, literary historians, Qin opera singers, etc. at any time. Their level is often beyond comparison. beyond people's expectations. It is more appropriate to describe Guanzhong with outstanding people and talented people.

Four Squares of Home Towns

Farming is like building a flower bed

The Guanzhong people’s carefulness in farming and carelessness in life form a strong contrast. . When I came to Guanzhong, I stood at the northern foot of the Qinling Mountains. Looking up from a high place, I could see that the land of Qinchuan was boundless, fertile and flat as a mirror. Roads and ridges divide the fertile fields in an orderly manner. This is of course related to the miraculous creation of nature, but it is also inseparable from the careful repairs made by Guanzhong people for generations.

Farm work in the Guanzhong area is generally busy only in summer and autumn, and people are idle throughout the winter. The people in Guanzhong are not good at going out to work or doing business, so they devote almost all their energy and thoughts to the farmland. When leveling the land, they worked meticulously. When plowing the land, they didn't even use plows. They felt that the plowing was not very precise, so they used shovels to plow the land one by one. After plowing, they applied base fertilizer and tied the ridges with ropes. It is laid neatly and neatly, like a flower bed, which is very suitable for crop growth. After the seeds are sown, they are also very serious about the growth management of the crops, whether it is watering, fertilizing, or grafting seedlings, everything is meticulous. Over time, they not only know every inch of the land, but also know almost every crop that grows

A composition about the folk customs of northern Shaanxi

The Spring Festival in northern Shaanxi is hot, and everything is booming. The people of the Yellow Land attach great importance to festivals. There are many festivals throughout the year, but the most important one is the Spring Festival. People who have worked hard for a year put all their joy and hope in the New Year. Every year when the twelfth lunar month comes, people get busy. They say they are busy, but in fact it is women who are busy. Busy eating, busy dressing, busy washing and rinsing, all the work must be done by the mother-in-law. Rolling rollers to press cake noodles, catching up with donkeys to grind tofu, steaming yellow steamed buns, making rice wine, rolling out mixed noodles, and frying fried cakes, all the New Year delicacies are prepared before the end of the year. During the Chinese New Year, the whole family, old and young, inside and out, all have to change into new clothes. No matter how poor a family is, everyone needs to make a new coat. In addition, all bedding and clothing must be washed cleanly. There is also a custom here that during the Chinese New Year, children should be given a "Jujube sign". "Zao Paipai" is made of red dates and corn straw tied with red thread, with a copper coin hanging on top and a firecracker hanging on the bottom. It is hung on the child's back. This is a mascot to ward off evil and bless. Here, I also saw some people threading a "thimble" used for needlework with red thread and hanging it around their children's necks. This is also a blessing mascot, called a "thimble to increase age." One more each year until the age of twelve. New Year's Eve is here, everything is ready, post couplets, make vinegar charcoal, hang red lanterns, and clean the courtyard. Making vinegar charcoal is a unique custom, which is to put a piece of red-hot coal on an iron spoon and then pour vinegar on it. "Vinegar charcoal" should be carried out in every corner of the home, which means to drive away evil spirits. In fact, it is a scientific method of sterilization and disinfection. As night falls, the elderly always devoutly light incense and burn paper, and lead their curious grandchildren to kowtow. The older children were busy setting off cannons and lighting towers. The careful mother-in-law put charcoal and ice cubes beside the door, and set up a rolling staff and an ax behind the door. It is said that this is to suppress evil spirits, and it is called "Shou Sui" here. People always sleep very late on New Year's Eve. Generally, lights are kept on at home all night long, which indicates peace and longevity in all seasons. Putting some food in the pot is called "zhaoguo", which means there will be no shortage of food throughout the year. Some old people couldn't sleep that night, so they climbed up to the top of the mountain quietly in the dark, facing the east and looking out. This is called "taste of heaven". According to the old man, the color of Xiaotian's color can indicate the success of this year's crops and the good or bad luck of the village. Whether it works or not, no one will delve into it. On the first day of the first lunar month, people get up at dawn. The first thing they do is to fire the "opening cannon", which means it's time to open the door. Then, the old people were busy welcoming the gods and receiving the Stove King. The children have already run out to pay New Year greetings. New Year greetings here are called "asking about health". When younger people meet their elders, they always "ask about health", such as "Grandpa is strong!" "Grandma is strong!" The elders will reply "Baby, be good!" which means to praise the child's health and progress. This kind of New Year greeting custom is not limited to children, but also to men who are married and have adopted children. It is also the same when meeting their elders. Yangko New Year greetings is a unique custom in northern Shaanxi. During the Spring Festival, every village organizes a Yangko team to pay New Year greetings door to door, which is commonly known as "Yangmenzi" here. The first step in celebrating the New Year with Yangko is visiting temples, worshiping gods, and praying for good weather and good harvests, and then visiting every household to pay New Year greetings. Every time the yangko troupe visits a house, the umbrella head touches the scenery and improvises its own lyrics to bless the owner. For example, "When you look up after entering the gate, you can see that the six-hole stone kiln is in full display. The grain is abundant, people are prosperous, and peace is guaranteed all year round."
