In China, Shaanxi is province with a long history and rich culture. Here you would find some interesting local conditions and customs. There are ten wonders in Shaanxi province, among which is the local people like to use the big bowl, which can be called tub more exactly.

Shaanxi people like to call the bowl as old bowl. The old doesn’t mean that the bowl has a long history but it means that the bowl is large. The old bowl is not delicately produced but very popular and common among the local people.

No matter how old are you in Shaanxi, no matter children, adults, old people, etc, all people are using this old large bowl. In addition, one old bowl of food is generally enough for any people, which is especially convenient for the people who have to work on the farm.

The local people like to eat together, each people with an old bowl, just like a bowl meeting. Nowadays, the local old bowls are disappearing. However, the tradition of using old bowl would be remembered forever by the local people and the history.

One Wonder of Chinese Local Culture: Qinqiang Opera

In the performance of Qingqiang Opera, common people can express their wishes, likes and dislikes, pains and happiness, which reflect people's life and struggle. Many themes of Qinqiang Opera come from the history stories within long Chinese history.

Because Qingqiang Opera reflects every life aspects of common people and Shaanxi people's folkways of brave, generosity and so on, it has a deep root within the people and has won great popularity. In the Shaanxi local villages, especially after all farm works are done or in some festival occasions, the biggest enjoy for the people is to watch and listing to the Qinqiang Opera.

We should keep it into the heart that Qinqiang Opera is not an art form with elegance and decency. In addition, Qinqiang Opera is not sung out but screamed out. Therefore, you blood would tingle if you attend a live Qinqiang Opera performance.

However, it is a pity now that only some old people are insisting on this ancient art form and it is in danger now. A few years later, we may only to learn Qinqiang Opera from books.

Real Man's Cuisine: Caesar's Asparagus

Western people have been eating asparagus for two thousand years. However, Chinese began to eat this kind of food only recently. It seems like that from an unknown summer in an unknown year, this expensive vegetable, asparagus, emerged on the vegetable markets. From then, asparagus becomes indispensable when it is in season.

Asparagus and meat, perfect match

Why we call asparagus the real man's cuisine? To answer this question, we should know some history knowledge about ancient Rome and Caesar.

The making of asparagus is easy

In ancient Rome, being special about the flavor of food could be seen as lack of the man spirit. The rough salted fish and very acid olive were seen as real men's foods. History book has recorded one time when Caesar ate asparagus. The asparagus was not made in common way. However, the asparagus was added with myrrh instead of olive oil. All the friends of Caesar didn’t eat this dish and only Caesar ate this entire dish usually. Maybe only the people who are not specific about food can become heroes at last.

Asparagus was also an important medical plant in ancient Rome. Health preserving was very popular at that time. In addition, asparagus would be boiled with wine, beet and other plants together. We cannot imagine the real taste of this food nowadays.

Due to the shape of the asparagus, it is also seen as the medicine to treat the infertility. You just imagine the reason. ^^

Eating the Mantis Shrimp in the Summer

In China, especially in summer, we can often see people eating mantis shrimp happily. Because of its low price, it is one of the most amiable and easy to approach seafood on the people's food desk.

The mantis shrimp is productive in the Yellow Sea and Bo Sea in the west of the Pacific Ocean. There are several ways to cook the mantis shrimp. The simplest way is just to boil it in the saline water. In Tianjin, people like to cook the mantis shrimp with the rose dew wine, while in Zhejiang province, people like to steam it in clear soup and then eat it with the vinegar. In Guangdong province, people like to eat the mantis shrimp with the salt and pepper.

The Happiness in Summer: Eating for Sweating

A few days later, we would get into the hottest time of the year. In northern area of China, people always say that we should eat dumpling during this time. It seems that people should eat dumplings at every important solar term. Except the need of the traditional customs, the dumpling may have its important significance in the aspect of the physiology, sweating for example.

In summer, the traditional Chinese medicine always tells the people that they should prevent sweating heavily. However, in the city with so many air-conditioners, people still need to sweet in order to keep health. Therefore, it is reasonable to eat dumpling, noodle and some hot foods in the hottest time of the year.

You may want to know why people still eat those hot foods in the hot summer days. The reason is for dehumidification. In some districts of China, the local people would see the sweating as a cool experience.

Just like the people in northern of China eating dumpling in the summer, the people in southern area of China often like to eat hot pepper. In addition, the reason is also dehumidification. The so-called humidity may be just the sweat. So sometimes we eat just for sweating.
