Some people say that in ancient times, the Zhou people moved from the area of Bin County and Xunyi in present-day Shaanxi Province to Qizhi Zhouyuan, now Qishan County, Baoji, Shaanxi, and multiplied by the Wei River and the North Plains. There is an evil dragon in the Houwei River, and the drought has been three years, and he lives and works in peace and contentment. The people of the Zhou clan could not bear to separate the homes that had been carved out after several generations, and fought back, and the evil dragon was killed after seven days of war. Therefore, when celebrating this success in the future, they used pigs instead of dragons and noodles to eat them collectively. It was later extended to other festivals and memorials. This cheeky face has also slowly spread, and its practice has also been slowly spreading.

Some people also said that Mr. Li Xinru of the Qishan Cultural Center also wrote a booklet called "The Divine Food". According to his research, the face of the face originated from the "completion" ritual of the corpse sacrifice system of the Zhou Dynasty, that is, the gods and ancestors were worshiped first, and the rest were the turn of Junqing, and finally ordinary people. This kind of custom has existed in Qishan for a long time, no matter who does the red and white ceremonies, the first bowl of noodles is not on the table, and the soup is poured twice outside the door by the small characters, which means to pay tribute to the gods of heaven and earth, and the rest of the soup is called "Fu Tuozi", which is poured on the ancestral tablet of the main hall, and then it is served, and the meal is served in the order of generation and identity. In the past, the leftover soup from eating noodles could not be discarded, and had to be returned to the pot. That is, take the meaning of the remaining words of the finished remainder. Zangzi noodles are a light meal for entertaining guests in Qishan and Guanzhong, the new daughter-in-law passes the door, the child's birthday, and the old man celebrates his birthday, and usually treats guests with Zangzi noodles.

Some people also say that it comes from the "short-lived noodles" of the Don. The noodles were changed from the foundation of the "short-lived noodles" of the Tang Dynasty. "Yijue Liao Miscellaneous Records" said: "Tang people's birthday soup cakes are the birthday noodles of the emperor's relatives to celebrate their birthdays, and the so-called 'short-lived noodles' in the world are also." The Tang Dynasty poet Liu Yuxi has a poem: "Yu is a guest on the seat, holding a spoon and eating soup cakes." Foods such as noodles were called "soup cakes" in the Tang Dynasty. The soup cake mentioned in Liu's poem is "short-lived noodles".

It was a great place to entertain guests during the Tang Dynasty. According to legend, when Su Dongpo was an official in Shaanxi, he especially liked to eat 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." According to historical facts, the Zangzi meat is the usual Northern Song Dynasty, and the "Menglianglu" records that there are shops that specially process and sell the Zangzi meat. But it is unknown whether there was ever a "face" at that time. In the Ming Dynasty, Gao Lian wrote down the "Zangzi Meat Noodles Method" in the "Eight Notes of Zunsheng", so it can be said with certainty that "Zangzi Noodles" was at least before Gao Lian wrote this book.

Zangzi noodles are quite valuable in Shaanxi. In addition to following the relevant customs of the Tang Dynasty's "short-lived noodles", such as eating on birthdays, it must be used to entertain guests every time there is a wedding or funeral, or every New Year's holiday. In the old days, there was still such a custom in the countryside of Shaanxi: on the second day of the new daughter-in-law's passing, a huge rolling ceremony would be held at the in-law's house, and the new daughter-in-law would roll the noodles in front of the guests to test her skills. Skilled and skilled, the thickness of the rolled noodles is average, the strips are slender, and they will not break when they go down to the pot.

A bowl of qualified Qishan Zhenzi noodles should have the characteristics of "white noodles, thin gluten, oily, sour and spicy". The noodles are slender, the thickness is average, the noodles are fresh and fragrant, the red oil floating noodles, the soup is sour and spicy, the muscles are tough and refreshing, and it is suitable for all ages. It has a very important position in the Guanzhong region, and is inseparable from important places such as weddings and funerals, New Year's festivals, children's full moon, the elderly's birthday, and welcoming relatives and friends.

The so-called fried noodles should be hot and hot, and there should be more oil to express the characteristics of this noodles.

Zangzi has a great impact on the lives of people in the Guanzhong region, whether it is a happy event or a funeral, a New Year's holiday, a birthday for the elderly, or a child's full moon or relatives and friends at home. The Guanzhong region does red and white affairs, the birthday of the elderly, and the full moon of the children are ordinary two meals, the so-called breakfast and lunch, and the breakfast noodles are the staple food.

In the rural areas of Guanzhong, the morning of the first day of the new year is basically a face. Before eating, take a bowl of soup and sprinkle some in front of the door to pay tribute to the ancestors and the land lord, the warehouse god, the stove god, etc., before the family can enjoy it. Some also offer a bowl of noodles in front of the statue of their ancestors to show their thoughts. Qishan's Zhenzi noodles have a long history, originating from the Shang and Zhou dynasties, and the Qing Dynasty was once very famous. All large and small restaurants in Qishan supply Zhenzi noodles, or they can set up a "Qishan Zhenzi Noodle Restaurant", "Zhenzi Noodle Restaurant" or "Lao Zhenzi Noodles" and so on, which only sell Zhenzi noodles.

The Beiguo Folk Village near the Zhougong Temple is a real way to carry forward the delicious national food culture of Zhenzi noodles. Therefore, it is also known as "the first village of Shaanxi folk customs".

In 1998, she was the first to lead the villagers to sell noodles at home, from the initial 6 households to a modern industry, and now it has been ten years, and it is precisely because of the rapid development of Qishan Folk Village in the past ten years.
