1. Traditional cultural elements and customs of Pingdingshan
Pingdingshan in Henan is also known as Eagle City, not because there are many eagles here, but because it originated from the Yingguo of the Zhou Dynasty. , speaking of this country, it has a great background.
Between 1046 BC and 1043 BC, Ji Fa, King Wu of the Western Zhou Dynasty, named his fourth son Ji Da (from Yong Fei) as a marquis of Ying, and then established the country as Yingguo (today's east of Baofeng, Henan Province, Lu Southeast Shandong and Pingdingshan City, Ye County, Jiaxian County and Xiangcheng area), and use the eagle as the family emblem (this is also the reason why Pingdingshan is called Yingcheng), and their descendants take Guo as their surname. Ji Da changed his name to Uncle Ying, with the courtesy name Rulin and the nickname Renshou Taobaohan, which is the ancestor of the Ying family.
The Ying State of the Zhou Dynasty lasted for more than 350 years from the founding of the country by Ying Shu to its demise in the early Eastern Zhou Dynasty. However, the history of the ancient Ying Kingdom lasted for 3,000 years from the founding of the country in Yingxian County, Shuozhou City by the Yinglong clan during the Huangdi period to its destruction in the early Eastern Zhou Dynasty. Ancient Yingguo is the beginning of Chinese civilization. It is a pity that after the fall of the Western Zhou Dynasty, from the Spring and Autumn Period to the Warring States Period, there was no trace of Gu Yingguo anymore.
Speaking of Pingdingshan, it is located in the middle of Henan Province. It has four distinct seasons, a mild climate and abundant rainfall. It is not only an excellent tourist city in my country, but also a gathering place for Henan cuisine.
Lushan Hot Pot Dishes
A famous local dish in Henan, a carefully crafted "chowder", it is said that it originated during the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty and was later developed by the Yang family. It is made through painstaking research by generations of people and combined with the local people's love for salty, fresh, tender and fragrant.
Traveling to Lushan, Henan, you can not only enjoy the beautiful scenery of stone figures, but also taste the delicious hot pot dishes. It can be said to kill two birds with one stone. Lushan Languo cuisine has exquisite ingredients. Big meat, only the upper ribs of free-range pigs, does not contain any additives, and only takes more than 5 kg from one pig. It has a lot of lean meat, is fragrant, tender, thin, and delicious; tofu is braised in oil. Different from fried dry tofu, and different from ordinary white tofu, it is yellow and white inside, moderately soft and hard; vermicelli, local high-quality noodles, cooked inside and outside; meatballs.
Deboned pork is mixed with sweet potato starch and fried, giving it a yellowish color and crispy texture; bracken, an authentic mountain product, is both crispy and tender. Paired with seasonal vegetables, it is really colorful and full of colors and shapes.
In addition, the seasonings for the Lan Guo dishes are Sichuan Pixian bean paste, Guangdong dark soy sauce and the finest Sichuan peppercorns and peppers, as well as dozens of kinds of Angelica dahurica, cinnamon, tangerine peel, Amomum villosum, etc. The special spices prepared from Chinese herbal medicine can be said to be a combination of Sichuan flavor and Lushan flavor, forming a completely different style of folk delicacy.
Mutton soup
Mutton soup is another name for mutton soup in some areas of Henan. Because in the process of making mutton soup, one step is to make the soup, that is, use a strainer or a colander to fill the cooked mutton or haggis, and use the spoon in the other hand to continuously scoop out the hot soup pot. Pour the mutton or haggis in hot soup until the mutton is heated and the oil is washed away.
Finally, put it into a bowl and add thick soup. Most of the soaked dough is yeast cake.
Drinking mutton soup is not just a eating habit for Baofeng, but a culture. Deng’s mutton soup is one of the most famous soups in Baofeng County. Since its establishment in 1990, Now, there are two types of mutton and haggis. Its ingredients are unique, so it is deeply loved by people.
A bowl of authentic mutton soup is composed of green green onions, thick white soup, and moderately thick slices of mutton. It may seem simple, but it can make people "dismount after smelling the aroma, and stop the car after knowing the taste." , immersed in a dense aroma.
Salted tofu pudding
A special snack in Wugang City, Pingdingshan City, the salted tofu pudding here is very different from other places where ordinary tofu pudding is added with salted beans and soy sauce. It is made by soaking and grinding high-quality soybeans into a slurry, heating and boiling, adding a little alum to condense it into a brain shape, and then adding soaked dried wild vegetables or dried sesame leaves. After boiling, mix it with the batter, and add green peppers, Made from pickled condiments of soybeans and leeks (or garlic sprouts), it has a smooth texture and a leisurely aftertaste.
Its nutritional value is also very high, containing rich protein, as well as a variety of nutrients and disease-resistant elements. It is a unique flavor food that integrates nutrition, disease resistance, health care, and beauty.
The beautiful Pingding Mountain not only has a long history, but also has a strong wine culture. Among them, Baofeng’s wine culture is the strongest.
Baofeng, formerly known as Longxing and Longshan, is under the jurisdiction of Ruzhou and has a long history of wine making. A large number of pottery brewing vessels and drinking vessels unearthed here are relics of the Shang and Zhou dynasties. During the Warring States Period, Qin and Wei met here twice. In the Tang Dynasty, Li Bai You Longxing wrote a poem: "The Yuan Dynasty enjoys leisure, and I drink the fragrance." The wine industry in the Song Dynasty showed a prosperous scene of "thousands of families setting up stoves, thousands of villages with fragrance, chimneys like forests, and wine flags like coir raincoats." According to the "Baofeng County Chronicle", during the reign of Emperor Shenzong of the Song Dynasty, the famous Taoist Cheng Mingdao once supervised wine in Baofeng, and left a good story about "the spring breeze of wine service". Yuan Haowen, a poet of the Yuan Dynasty, wrote the poem "The spring breeze makes people drunk, and it takes three hundred cups to make a quick roll", praising Baofeng's fine wine.
