People's clothing, food, shelter and transportation on the loess high slope

Most farmers wrap an old sheepskin fur coat in winter, and they are not afraid of being dirty or rubbing. They don't even need buttons. They used a big cloth belt to keep out the wind and rain, which was very warm and practical.

Due to the climatic conditions in northern Shaanxi, millet, buckwheat, potatoes and other miscellaneous grains yield more, and mutton is abundant. Therefore, coarse cereals in northern Shaanxi are very famous. Such as: millet flour cake, millet, Lehe, potato steamed bread, steamed buns, dried brine, potato fork, etc.

People in northern Shaanxi live in caves. Cave dwellings are divided into brick kilns and earth kilns. Generally speaking, building brick kilns and digging kilns. The doors and windows in front of the kiln are beautifully carved. This kind of cave is warm in winter and cool in summer, so it is very comfortable to live in.

Shaanxi people's means of transportation have long been donkeys. This kind of donkey is small, energetic, docile and endurable. You can take rugged mountain roads and climb steep slopes.

In midsummer, people only wear jackets and trousers. Many people don't even wear shoes when they work. There is an indescribable comfort when you step barefoot on the soft yellow soil.

Extended data:

Kaixuan laterite is the main impermeable layer under loess, which is easy to absorb water and expand, and it is the main sliding layer of large landslides in loess plateau. From the late Pliocene to the Pleistocene, the edge of Ordos Plateau, such as Wei Fen Graben Valley, developed further, and the whole plateau tilted, which made the ground form a slope from northwest to southeast and controlled the flow direction of rivers.

In the process of geomorphic evolution, some valleys form small platforms, and some become long or oval hills, which are the basis of platform, beam and headland topography of Ordos Plateau.
