What are the customs of Baotou?

Baotou is the economic center, industrial center and scientific and technological innovation center of Inner Mongolia, with a high degree of opening up. It is the big brother of Inner Mongolia for many years, with developed economy and an important position in North China. Speaking of local customs, we have to mention the historical origin of the population distribution of Baotou natives. Baotou first appeared in the Xikou period, and a large number of Shanxi merchants promoted the development of the city. A large number of people from Qixian County, Shanxi Province came here to settle down and do business. Today, the old Baotou people are mainly distributed in Donghe District, Jiuyuan District, Shiguai District and Tuyouqi, and they are outstanding representatives of the old Baotou people. Later, the construction of large state-owned enterprises such as Baotou Steel Group led a group of workers from the old industrial bases in Northeast China to participate in production and construction in Baotou, mainly from Anshan, Liaoning. At present, it is mainly distributed in Kundulun District and Rare Earth High-tech Zone, and then the construction of military state-owned enterprises such as Yiji and Jill has led to the arrival of a group of Hebei people. Currently living mainly in Qingshan District, Baotou belongs to an immigrant city in history. Shanxi people, Hebei people and Liaoning people are the main parts of this city, where multi-ethnic and multi-regional local cultures are integrated, forming Baotou local folk customs with Shanxi merchant culture as the mainstay and grassland culture as the supplement. Therefore, Baotou's diet, dialects, local folk customs and local operas are also very close to Shanxi. Baotou people like to listen to two-person tables, Baotou people like to eat braised noodles, and Baotou people like to eat braised dishes.
