300 words of cultural composition left by Shanxi

My hometown is in Shanxi. It is the birthplace of pasta and dough sculpture.

Now let me tell you something about the pasta culture in Shanxi. Starting from the Eastern Han Dynasty with historical records, after the development of 1000 years, the production of Shanxi pasta gradually formed various methods such as rolling, stretching, pulling, cutting, pressing, stirring, boiling, steaming and frying. Shanxi pasta has the reputation of "eating all kinds of noodles at the same time", and its diverse practices and eating methods are incomparable anywhere. Lamian Noodles, sliced noodles, Daoxiao Noodles, leaky noodles, cat's ears, picking tips, flowing tips, rubbing tadpoles, sipping, slicing, rubbing fish and other nearly 100 kinds of patterns can be made from ordinary dough of Shanxi people. With strong local characteristics, the reputation is spread all over the world.

Pasta first, then dough modeling! Dough sculpture-commonly known as "dough figurine", "dough sheep" and "flower steamed bun". Different places have different names and different forms. Most of them come from housewives in rural villages and towns of Shanxi Province. They are made of flour through kneading, modeling, steaming and coloring. Most of them are exaggerated, concise, simple, with distinctive folk and local characteristics, and then continue to the city, developing into an inedible, antiseptic, crack-proof and easy-to-preserve proportion, kneaded by the artist's skillful hands.

Shanxi is not only the birthplace of pasta and dough sculpture, but also the seat of the State of Jin in the Spring and Autumn Period.

Sanjin culture was divided into Korea, Zhao and Wei during the Warring States period, so it was called Sanjin. At that time, the territory of Jin or Sanjin was far outside Shanxi. Later generations used Jin or Sanjin, which refers to the present Shanxi Province. The western Houdu culture, which experienced Shehe culture, Ding Cun culture, Xu Jiayao culture and Chyi Yu culture, until Xiadingchuan culture more than 4000 years ago, became a complete sequence of primitive cultural development in the Paleolithic age in China. Jin is the cultural center of the Yellow River Basin and an important birthplace of Chinese civilization.

Ah, how long the culture of Shanxi is! We should know more about Shanxi culture.
