What is the intangible cultural heritage of Huanghua cotton?

The intangible cultural heritage of Huanghua cotton is a unique food culture.

Huanghua Huamian was born in Yang Er Zhuang Hui Town in the south of Huanghua, with a history of 200 years. The staff of Huanghua Cultural Center said that in ancient times, the land in the north of Huanghua was barren, the wheat yield was very low, and people lived in poverty. Every New Year, people have nothing to send, so they grind a small amount of wheat into flour and steam noodles such as longevity peaches and carp for friends and relatives for good luck.

Over time, a custom has been formed. Flour flowers are more delicious than steamed bread, so they are gradually accepted by people and form a unique food culture. However, due to the time-consuming and laborious production of noodles, the figure gradually blurred. In order to protect this food culture, Huanghua Huamian applied to become a provincial intangible cultural heritage in 2009.
