What does dragon tendon mean?

Dragon tendon has the following three meanings:

1, refers to fine pine branches;

2. Tendons of creatures called dragons in China mythology;

3. It also refers to the brand of dried cucumber in Hougou.

The origin of dragon tendons in China mythology is: Song and Fan Chengda's poem "Stepping into Hengshan Mountain": When the dragon tendons are thin, the roots are loose, and bamboo shoots are all over the mountain. Pine roots are as thin as dragon tendons on the road, and bamboo shoots are everywhere, neat as phoenix tails.

Dragon tendon is the source of dried cucumber brand in Hougou.

1, brand dried cucumber was created by the ancestors of Liu and Li in Hougou village, and it was produced as early as Hongwu period in Ming Dynasty. Liu and Li Zushang immigrated from Hongdong to Pingding House and chose Hougou Village at the foot of Guanshan Mountain in Pingding County to settle down. Because this land is surrounded by mountains on three sides, there are dense trees on the mountains, rivers flow all the year round, and the regional climate is pleasant, which is very suitable for reclamation and survival.

2. Liu and Li of Hougou Village have worked hard on this land for decades. In addition to reclaiming hillsides to grow food crops, they also use abundant water resources to dig wells to develop vegetable gardens and grow cucumbers and other vegetables. At that time, there were no vegetables in winter, and the vegetables in the fields in summer and autumn were dried for winter consumption. After many experiments, the dry cucumber baked by coal fire was finally successful.
