For example, "I ate steamed buns in the morning."

Momo is an ancient word. Its appearance time should be in the late Neolithic Age. It first appeared in the northwest, where wheat was first introduced and cultivated.

Today in Yan'an, Shaanxi, Xinzhou, Shanxi, Tongxin, Ningxia and other places, steamed buns are called steamed buns. Moreover, steamed buns are also called steamed buns in Tibetan. Based on the time when wheat was introduced into my country from the Crescent Region of West Asia and the separation time of Chinese and Tibetan in the Sino-Tibetan language family, the time when the word " steamed buns " appeared It should be around four thousand years.

Historically, our Gan language has been greatly influenced by ancient Ya language. Ancient Yayan should be a northwest dialect centered in Xi'an, and "momo" should be one of the Yayan words at that time. During the Qin, Han, or Wei and Jin dynasties, when people from the north moved south, they brought the elegant language of that time to the south. Many other Yayan words may have disappeared, but the word "momo" has been passed down to this day. Nowadays, many Gan dialect areas still refer to "mantou" as "momo". For example, in Nanchang, Gao'an, Yongxin, Jishui, Xinyu, Anyi, Yugan and other places in Jiangxi and Liling in Hunan, "mantou" is also called "momo".

From the word "momo", we can find the immigration trajectory of "Jiangxi fills in Huguang, and Huguang fills in Sichuan". To be honest, the word "momo" in Central Plains Mandarin, Jianghuai Mandarin, and Northeast Mandarin is almost no longer mentioned, and has been replaced by "mantou". Only in Xiang-speaking areas such as Loudi, Hunan, and Southwest Mandarin in Wuhan, Hubei and other places, the term "momo" can still be found.
