Shaxian snack is its birthplace.

Shaxian snack has a long history, which originated from the Chinese food culture in the Yellow River valley in Xia, Shang, Zhou, Jin and Song Dynasties. It has a strong historical and cultural foundation among the people, especially famous for its variety, unique flavor and good economic benefits.

The food culture of the Central Plains spread to Shaxian County with the many southward migrations of the Central Plains people. Shaxian has become a gathering place of traditional food culture in China, which is one of the main reasons why Shaxian snacks are famous all over the country. China (Shaxian) Snack Tourism and Culture Festival is officially designated as 65438+February 8 of the Gregorian calendar every year.

Shaxian snack actually belongs to a branch of the ancient Central Plains food culture tradition with a long history. Many snacks in Shaxian still retain the characteristics of ancient traditional ideology and culture, and some snacks even retain the original characteristics, which can be called "living fossils" of ancient traditional food culture in China.

The real name of "Shaxian salted duck" is "Shaxian preserved duck". Bacon food, collectively known as bacon, has a long history in China. The original meaning of bacon is dried meat made in the twelfth lunar month. As early as the Zhou Dynasty, the imperial court had the position of "La Ren". It is responsible for the processing of dried meat. The process of making dried meat is: cutting cinnamon (spice) and ginger, sprinkling them on the meat, salting them with salt, and finally drying or baking them (see Zhou Li. The first slaughter in the official tomb and the Book of Rites. Article 12 Internal Rules "). The traditional practice of Shaxian preserved duck is basically the same as that mentioned above, but the ingredients are slightly increased or decreased, and the baking method is more particular.
