Which province is "Shaxian Snack"?

Shaxian County is located in Sanming City, Fujian Province. Shaxian snack has a long history, which originated from the Chinese food culture in the Yellow River valley in the ancient Xia, Shang, Zhou, Jin and Song dynasties. It has a profound historical and cultural foundation among the people, especially its varieties, unique flavor and economic benefits. It is a wonderful flower in the hundred gardens of China's food culture, and has long enjoyed a good reputation at home and abroad.

Shaxian snack, known as the "living fossil" of the traditional diet of the Han nationality, belongs to a branch of the long-standing dietary culture tradition in the Yellow River Basin of the Central Plains. There are not only the food characteristics of Fuzhou and Minnan, but also the Hakka food culture style in Tingzhou mountain area. Therefore, Shaxian snacks with strong China characteristics can be divided into two schools, namely, Chengguan snack pie with fresh and sweet taste and fine production. Representative varieties are flat meat (pasta), steamed dumplings, meat buns, etc., each with its own characteristics; Xiamao snack pie, with salty and spicy taste, is widely made, represented by Xiamao town, and its raw materials are mainly rice, potatoes and taro, such as frozen rice, sweet potatoes, frozen rice skin (japonica-indica noodles) and beef series. Historically, Xia Maoren was basically a Hakka and liked to go out. Therefore, Xiamao school snacks are the earliest and most popular snacks, and Xiamao people are found almost all over the country. This fluidity also separates the processing of raw materials from the management service of Xiamao snacks, that is, processing does not operate, and management does not process, forming a simple repetitive work with low technical content. Shaxian people are mountain people and like to process and operate by themselves, that is, the family-run business model of "front shop and back workshop". Shaxian snacks of Chengguan School are well-made and varied, and become the protagonists of Shaxian snacks. Therefore, people who have been to Shaxian must taste Shaxian snacks, and after eating Shaxian snacks, they all lament that Shayang has no snacks.
