Tasting the food, behind the screen is about Dunhuang nostalgia and human affection.
To the west of Dunhuang is the vast desert Gobi, and to the east is the Hexi Corridor, which stretches for thousands of miles. It is conceivable that thousands of years ago, people who traveled through the Silk Road arrived in Dunhuang.
The mix of atmosphere here is enough to wash away the wind and dust of the journey, dotted with the sand dunes of the oasis, and renewing the visual memory. More importantly, the smell here, if it seems to awaken people's memories of their hometown, always arouses people's reverie about the distance. The long and rich historical background makes Dunhuang full of mixed-race temperament, and the mixed mixed-race genes also penetrate into people's three meals a day.
To some extent, food is both an integral part of Dunhuang culture and a testimony to its development. At the beginning of the 20th century, tens of thousands of volumes of Dunhuang documents were unearthed in the Mogao Caves, which recorded the history, geography, ethnicity, culture, art and other historical materials of China and Central Asia for more than a thousand years, and also recorded the Dunhuang food culture that spanned thousands of years.
As the saying goes, one side feeds the other. Over the past thousand years, Dunhuang has not only bred a broad and profound Dunhuang culture, but also nurtured Dunhuang people with a strong and tenacious personality and a heroic and uninhibited temperament, all of which have a lot to do with food. As we all know, Dunhuang is an oasis city on the edge of the desert Gobi, and food for Dunhuang people is not only a necessity for survival, but also a symbol of being born and growing up in Si. Dunhuang people are good at giving it clear geographical coordinates in food to highlight the characteristics of food. Dunhuang "Eight Monsters", donkey meat yellow noodles outside the door dragged. The reason why yellow noodles occupy a place is because the ramen master who grew up in this way can pull a yellow noodle very long and grow long enough to satisfy the flowing water seat for hundreds of people to eat... In the documentary "Dunhuang, the Feast that Never Dispersed for a Thousand Years", you can see such a wonderful picture.
Time flies, but delicious food remains in people's hearts forever. Even though we know very little about ancient Dunhuang, through the temptation of food, colorful Dunhuang has jumped on the tip of the tongue.
