What is the origin of whistle noodles in Xinjiang?

Noodles with minced meat is a kind of traditional pasta with a long history in Longdong and Guanzhong areas, especially Qishan noodles with minced meat. Qishan noodles with minced meat are famous for being thin, tough, shiny, fried, thin, sour, spicy and fragrant. In some places in Guanzhong, because of dialect pronunciation, Sao's secondary face is read as Shao's secondary face. As a result, the names of some restaurants are wrong.

In ancient times, Zhou people moved from raccoon dogs (now Binxian and Xunyi in Shaanxi Province) to Qishan County in Shaanxi Province, and flourished in Weihe River and Beiyuan. After the Weihe River, dragons were a disaster. After three years of drought, people are living in dire straits. The people of the Zhou clan could not bear to leave their homes developed from generation to generation and rose up to resist. The dragon was killed on the seventh day of the war. Hungry people killed the dragon and ate it in droves to celebrate the victory, which made them feel delicious. So when celebrating this victory in the future, pigs will be used instead of dragons and noodles to eat collectively. Later, it was extended to other festivals and sacrifices. This kind of minced meat noodles gradually spread and the practice gradually developed.

Mr. Li Xinru from Qishan Cultural Center also wrote a pamphlet entitled "Qishan Whistle Face". According to his research, the noodles with minced meat originated from the "final ceremony" of the body sacrifice system in the Zhou Dynasty, that is, the gods and ancestors were respected first, and the rest were your turn, and finally the ordinary people. This custom has a long history in Qishan. No matter who organizes the wedding, the first bowl of whistle will not come up, and the younger generation will take the soup out of the door and splash it twice, symbolizing the sacrifice to the gods and the earth. The remaining soup will be called "Fubazi" and thrown on the ancestral tablet in the main hall, and then served in order of seniority and status. You can't throw away the soup left over from eating noodles in the past, but put it back in the pot. In other words, the meaning of the word "Yu Yu" has been taken away. Now, in order to worship the gods and ancestors, the custom of eating Guo Hui soup has changed. Minced meat noodles are a light meal for guests in Qishan and Guanzhong areas. When the new wife comes to the door, the children celebrate their birthdays, and the old people celebrate their birthdays, they usually whistle to entertain guests.

"Longevity noodles" originated in the Tang Dynasty. Minced meat noodles developed and changed on the basis of "longevity noodles" in Tang Dynasty. "Yi Zaji" said: "There are many soup cakes on birthdays in the Tang Dynasty, and those who are called' long life' in the world are also." Liu Yuxi, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, said in a poem: "I am a guest, eating soup cakes." Foods like noodles were called "soup cakes" in the Tang Dynasty. The "soup cake" mentioned in Liu Shizhong is "longevity noodles". It was a good place to entertain guests in the Tang Dynasty. According to legend, when Su Dongpo was an official in Shaanxi, he especially liked this kind of noodles and wrote a poem praising it: "I want to be a soup cake guest, but I am worried about writing the wrong book." There is a folk story about changing the name of "longevity noodles" to "noodles with minced meat": A long time ago, a family in Qishan married a beautiful, smart, diligent and clever daughter-in-law. The second day after the new daughter-in-law arrived at her husband's house, she cooked noodles for the whole family. After eating, the whole family praised the noodles for being smooth and delicious. Later, my brother-in-law was admitted to the official position, and invited classmates and friends to be guests at home, so that my sister-in-law could cook the best noodles for everyone to entertain guests. After eating, everyone was full of praise. Since then, "sister-in-law's face" has become famous. Because this "sister-in-law's face" must be drenched with shame. So people also call it "minced meat noodles". According to historical records, the meat of Sao Zi appeared in the Northern Song Dynasty, and there were shops specializing in processing and selling the meat of Sao Zi recorded in Dream of Liang Lu. But whether there was a "face of shame" at that time is still unknown. In the Ming Dynasty, Gao Lian wrote down the practice of rolling pin in Eight Chapters of Respect for Life, so it can be said with certainty that rolling pin had already come out at least before Gao Lian wrote this book.

According to legend, during the reign of Emperor Jing of Han Dynasty, a family in Jingdang Village, Qishan County married a daughter-in-law. She was smart, virtuous, capable, and did a good job in needlework and embroidery, as well as cooking in the kitchen. The day after she passed the door, she made noodles, which were smooth and smooth, with various materials, rich soup and delicious flavor. The whole family praised each other after eating, especially brother in law, who often cried and cried for noodles rolled by her sister-in-law. Later, my brother-in-law studied very hard and often forgot to eat and sleep. Sister-in-law sees her brother-in-law's study getting better every day, and she studies very hard. She often rolls noodles to nourish her body, so her brother-in-law studies harder. One year, my brother-in-law went to Beijing for an exam and was on the list. He became a local official and invited his colleagues to his home during the Spring Festival. The guests ate the noodles made by his sister-in-law, and they also praised the delicious food. Since then, the "sister-in-law's noodles" have become famous and spread everywhere, competing to imitate and taste. Because "Sao" and "Sao" are homophonic, the "sister-in-law's noodles" have evolved into "Sao's noodles", which have continued in Qishan ever since. Whenever there are weddings and funerals at home, weddings and funerals, and holidays, we always treat our guests with shame.
