Luoyang's History, Culture and Soup

Luoyang is one of the eight ancient capitals of China. Thirteen feudal dynasties, including Xia, Shang, Western Zhou, Eastern Zhou, Eastern Han, Cao, Wei, Western Jin, Northern Wei and Sui and Tang Dynasties, successively established their capitals in Luoyang. "If you want to know the past and the present, please see Luoyang City". Luoyang has a long history and culture, and it is also the core area of Heluo culture. The "River Map", "Luoshu" and "Cangjie Word Creation" symbolized by China's history and culture all originated in Luoyang.

"Baiyun Mountain, Laojun Mountain, Taoist ancestral temple, Longtan Grand Canyon and other natural landscapes certainly make Luoyang famous for its beautiful and elegant peony flowers." Luoyang is the most suitable place for flowers, and peony is a wonderful flower in the world. "Every April, the annual Peony Culture Festival in Luoyang, China attracts tourists from all over the country. Luoyang is such a national excellent tourist city with profound historical and cultural heritage.

Of course, in addition to history and culture and peony, Luoyang is also a city with a unique food culture. Luoyang's food culture is characterized by soup and water diet, so Luoyang is called "the city of soup and water". "Water" refers to Luoyang water mat, which is the representative and symbol of Luoyang food culture. There are many kinds of "soups", among which mutton soup, beef soup, non-turning soup, meatball soup, bean curd soup and donkey broth are the most representative. These soups are the main breakfast and lunch in Luoyang. In the morning or at noon, a bowl of soup, a shredded pork cake or a baked wheat cake is standard for soup drinkers. People who come to Luoyang from other places don't drink mutton soup and beef soup, which means they have never been to Luoyang. Mutton soup kitchens and beef soup kitchens in Luoyang are all over the streets. The famous mutton soup kitchens mainly include Buyi mutton soup, century-old mutton soup, Tiexie mutton soup, Baisha mutton soup and beef soup. I haven't drunk Buyi mutton soup for a long time, and I went to drink Buyi mutton soup at noon. This kind of mutton soup is characterized by not only delicious soup, but also distinguishing soup from fatty soup. Mutton is selected mutton, and the fat soup is fat but not greasy. Today's mutton soup, such as photos, asked for fat soup and even added some pepper. In the soup, I made a piece of bread, many of which were fat and thin. The soup is covered with sheep oil and red pepper oil. Mutton tastes soft and delicious, and soup is delicious. I can't describe that delicious food accurately in words. You won't know until you drink it yourself.

? The soup in Luoyang has strong local characteristics of Luoyang, which is also related to the eating habits and regions of Luoyang people. It has also become an important part of Luoyang's food culture. Like Luoyang Peony, it has become a business card of Luoyang.
