The historical origin of Chaoqi

Yuanqu Chaoqi (Shiqi) is the product of the working people of Yuanqu living in harmony with nature for a long time. In the past, when people traveled far away, they had a problem that was difficult to solve: they were not acclimatized to the local environment and often had diarrhea. Therefore, Yuanqu people created this unique food to solve this problem. Chaoqi (Shiqi) contains water, soil, and noodles from hometown. It is durable and easy to store. It will not rot or go bad for several months. If you eat a little every day, you will be able to change your stomach safely. People have found that because Chaoqi (Shiqi) is made from Yuanqu’s unique white earth and green raw materials, it has the effect of strengthening the stomach and nourishing the stomach. Therefore, it can be passed down through the ages without defeat. It has become a unique intangible cultural heritage in the country. Today, it still continues its strong life through manual production and has become one of people's favorite foods. Almost everyone who comes to Yuanqu brings a few bags with them, either to taste them themselves or to give as gifts to relatives and friends.
