The origin of crossing the bridge rice noodles

The origin of crossing the bridge rice noodles:

1, origin legend 1

Crossing the bridge rice noodles has a history of more than one hundred years. According to legend, in the Qing Dynasty, there was an island in the middle of a lake outside Mengzi in southern Yunnan. A scholar went to study on the island. The scholar's virtuous and hardworking wife often cooks his favorite rice noodles and sends them to him for dinner, but when he leaves the island, the rice noodles are no longer hot.

Later, I accidentally sent chicken soup. Miss Scholar found that chicken soup was coated with a thick layer of chicken oil like a pot cover to keep the soup warm. If you eat with seasoning and rice noodles, it will be more refreshing. So she first cooked the clear soup of fat chicken and bone, and then coated it with thick chicken oil; Rice noodles are made at home. Many ingredients are sliced on the island and cooked in boiling oil. Then rice noodles are added, which is delicious and smooth. As soon as this law was spread, people followed suit, because it was necessary to cross the bridge to the island and to commemorate this good wife. Later people called it "crossing the bridge rice noodle".

2. Legend of Origin 2

Legend has it that South Lake in mengzi city was a beautiful place in the past, and scholars often attacked books and recited poems here. There is a man named Yang Xiucai who often goes to Hu Xin Pavilion to study, and his wife delivers meals there. Scholars study hard, often forget to eat, and even often eat cold meals and cold dishes, making their bodies more and more tired. His wife was anxious and distressed, so she killed the hen at home, stewed it in a casserole and sent it to him. When she went to collect the dishes again, she saw that the food was intact and her husband was still reading. I have to take the food back and reheat it. When she picked up the casserole, she found it was still very hot. She lifted the lid. It turns out that the surface of the soup is coated with chicken oil, and the ceramic utensils have poor heat transfer, so the heat is sealed in the soup.

In the future, his wife will keep warm in this way, and some rice noodles, vegetables and meat slices will be cooked in hot chicken soup and served to her husband while it is hot. Later, many people imitated her innovative cooking skills, and the cooked rice noodles were really delicious. Because Yang Xiucai has to cross a small bridge from home to Hu Xin Pavilion, everyone calls this way of eating "crossing the bridge rice noodles".

After the improvement and innovation of Yunnan chefs in past dynasties, "crossing the bridge rice noodles" has become a famous snack in southern Yunnan.

3. Legend of Origin 3

When the scholar was studying, the wife poured hot oil into the soup to keep warm in order to prevent her husband from being too cold. When her husband used it, the noodle soup was still very hot and needed to be eaten cold in a small bowl. Put the rice noodle in the casserole back into the bowl with chopsticks. The rice noodle will make two bowls into a bridge, which means that the wife will send the rice noodle across the bridge, so it is called crossing the bridge rice noodle.

It was created by Li Jingchun, a scholar in Jianshui County, Yunnan Province during Daoguang period of Qing Dynasty (who was once the magistrate of Jishan County, Shanxi Province).

5. Legend of Origin 5

Legend has it that there was a scholar who liked to play and didn't want to study hard. He has a beautiful wife and a young son. Between husband and wife, the feelings are very deep. However, his wife is deeply worried about the scholar's pleasure and boredom in reading. He said to the scholar, "You play all day, don't want to make progress, and don't want to fight for your wife and children?" Sheng was deeply ashamed of his wife's words, so he built a study in Nanhu, studied hard alone, and his wife shared her worries with Sheng, and sent three meals a day to the study for lunch.

Scholars have made great progress in their studies, but they are getting thinner and thinner. The wife saw it in her eyes and was very distressed. She thought about it. Slaughter chicken and simmer soup, cut meat slices, prepare rice noodles and prepare scholar breakfast. When my son was young, he put meat slices in the soup, and his wife angrily scolded his son for his practical jokes. He quickly picked up the sliced meat, looked ripe and tasted it, which was both fragrant and happy. That is to say, carry a can and a basket and send them to the study.

He fainted on the Nanhu Bridge because of overwork. When he heard the news, he saw that his wife was awake, the soup and rice noodles were intact, and the noodle soup was covered with oil slick. Without a trace of hot air, the soup is cold. He covered the soup pot with his palm, and the soup pot was boiling hot. He was very surprised. He asked his wife about the whole process of production, and she explained them one by one. For a long time, the scholar said that this meal can be called crossing the bridge rice noodles. Under the careful care of his wife, the scholar got the scholarship and made a recommendation, which was passed down as a much-told story by local people. Since then, the reputation of crossing the bridge rice noodles has spread like wildfire.

Extended data

Crossing the bridge rice noodles has become an intangible cultural heritage;

On May 9th, 2008, Zhang Jianwei, Executive Vice President of CPPCC, met with visiting members and experts in literature and history. This topic focuses on the inheritance and protection of the intangible cultural heritage since the founding of Kunming for thousands of years. It was learned from the reception site that the rice noodle crossing the bridge has been included in the important intangible cultural heritage of Kunming, which is the first economic project in Kunming to be included in the intangible cultural heritage.

Xu Gang, director of the National and Folk Traditional Culture Department of Kunming Cultural Center, believes that the selection of intangible cultural heritage has added a brand that needs to be promoted to the outside world for the enterprises that operate rice noodles across the bridge in Kunming.

Since the rice noodle crossing the bridge was introduced from Mengzi, Kunming, it has been deeply loved by Kunming people. There is a legend about the origin of crossing the bridge rice noodles, but the research on the production technology and norms of crossing the bridge rice noodles is still insufficient. After being listed as an intangible cultural heritage, we should do more research and standardize the traditional skills behind Kunming's food culture, so that diners can enjoy crossing the bridge rice noodles while eating a bowl. Moreover, this brand of intangible cultural heritage is not unique to a rice noodle shop across the bridge, it is a brand owned by Kunming.
