Handmade & Hollow • Precious & Delicate

History

Tradition has it that in the Warring States Period, Emperor Ying Zheng, to unify the six states across the country, led his armies to fight days and nights and always could not take any food at all. One day, when marching at the south foot of Qinling Mountains, the sunny side of the mountain with sufficient sunlight, the Emperor saw an old man in a farmhouse at the roadside hanging a row of vermicelli as thin as hair; his appetite was raised and asked the old man to cook the vermicelli. After cooking it thoroughly and pouring the peasant pickled cabbage soup onto the vermicelli, the old man presented the food to the Emperor who felt a tangy sour fragrance and thought the vermicelli was fine, tasty and refreshing. The old man told the Emperor it is also called the handmade vermicelli, and because of its “long and thin” shape, it’s called the “Longevity Noodle”. After listening to the old man’s introduction, the Emperor felt very gleeful and rewarded the old man generously. From then on, local officials presented the handmade vermicelli as a tribute to the royal court in successive years and the vermicelli was listed as the top royal imperial cuisine health product. Since then, the hollow vermicelli has been passed down from generation to generation and enjoyed a good reputation at home and abroad, receiving favorable comments in historical records.
