What are the eight eccentrics in Guanzhong, Shaanxi?

The first monster: the bench doesn't sit up.

Guanzhong people call squatting kicking, and the history can be traced back to the distant Spring and Autumn Period. Guanzhong people like squatting, which evolved from "sitting" in ancient Chinese. The ancient people's original intention of "sitting" was to kneel down and sit side by side in the seat, keeping up with the weight of the ass behind their feet.

The second monster: the house is half built.

Smart farmers in Guanzhong built the ovary of the mansion according to local conditions, built three earth walls with loess, and left doors and windows on one side of the courtyard. The roof only needs a small amount of big wood to make purlins and beams, and the requirements for making small rafters are low. One of the three earth walls uses a fence, which saves the space of the courtyard and solves the problem of insufficient housing.

The third monster: the girl is not outside.

The fourth monster: Papa wears it on his head.

Sunshade, sunscreen, mask and sunglasses are the necessities of modern women. Women in Guanzhong didn't have such conditions before. It is good to have a beautiful cloth as a handkerchief in their life. This kind of homemade handkerchief plays a great role in visiting relatives and friends, returning to the door (back to my family) and working in the fields. Young women wear handkerchiefs with various patterns, which become amorous feelings and decorations.

The fifth monster: noodles are like belts.

It's like a belt, but it's about the width and length of noodles. There is only one noodle in a bowl of noodles in Guanzhong area, but it is difficult for a weak woman to finish it. Among them, the stick is the longest, the minced meat noodles are the least, and a bowl of rice is only enough for one bite, so it has its name: full of fragrance.

The sixth monster: Guo Kui is like a pot cover.

In order to avoid waste, it belongs to the tradition of big family eating. In the past, every household in Guanzhong area had a big pot to cook, and the baked cake was equivalent to the bottom of the pot. Moreover, because the dough is well fermented and moderately thick, it is commonly known as "Guo Kui".

The seventh monster: a dish with spicy oil

The eighth monster: Qin opera doesn't sing or roar.

Singing opera here refers to the performance of Shaanxi opera. In fact, Shaanxi opera is not really a roar, but an actor's really hard performance, joking that it is "called skyshatter". This kind of singing may be related to the language characteristics of Guanzhong people, which is simple, simple, frank and high-pitched.
