In the southwest of Linfen, Xiangning oil cake has long been famous, its round like cake, shaped like a drum, color like copper, is made of white noodles after boiling water, wrapped in filling and fried, crispy skin and soft meat, sweet taste. "Cake" is the harmonic sound of "high", which means "step by step", and eating oil cake has become an auspicious symbol and has been passed down to this day. The annual "April 8" ancient meeting in Xiangning County has become the peak day of local oil cakes.
During the "Oil Cake Festival", Xiangning became a world of oil cakes, a paradise of oil cakes, and an exposition of oil cakes. The streets and alleys are full of oil pots and tents, and there are as many as 100 oil cake stalls. In front of each cake stall, people are surrounded by people. The oil cake stalls are fried and sold now, often failing to meet the needs of the waiting masses. The masses who came here to catch the "oil cake meeting" often took pleasure in eating oil cakes with mustard and red oil roasted pepper noodles mixed with cold powder, and even made many funny jokes similar to "eating oil cakes and roasting the back". In the countryside, some elderly people, elderly people, and patients who are old or sick and cannot go to the city to catch up with the meeting often let people carry back a few bags of oil cakes and enjoy themselves after a full meal at home. Therefore, in Xiangning County, there are folk proverbs such as "ning poor for a year, not poor for a day" and "no money in April, a year in vain".
"Every festive season, I think of my family." The Mid-Autumn Festival is getting closer and closer, come to a piece of xiangning hollow mooncake to relieve homesickness.

Listening to the sound of the countryside is distinctive and full of "township" flavor
"It's really cool today, carrying a basket in your hand, a washing stick and a hammer slipping..." This is the lyrics of the Folk Song "Laundry" in Xiangning. The book is the same text, but the language is not pronounced, and the most beautiful is the rural tone. If you can learn one or two unique "Xiangning dialects" or hum two Xiangning folk songs, you can really come to Xiangning.
Influenced by the changes in the territory in history and the dialects of neighboring counties, the variety of Xiangning dialects is diverse, and there are about fifteen kinds of dialects if they are distinguished by phonetics: Chengguan, Taitou, Guanghua... Before and after the mountain, Kawakami and Kawakawa are not the same.
Rooted in the fertile soil of the Loess Plateau, bathed in the style of the Loess Plateau, Xiangning folk songs have both Jinnan style and Yellow River color, and Xiangning people sing folk songs and also sing life.
One side of the water and soil nourishes one person, and the other side of the water and soil also nourishes the folk songs of the other side. Folk songs originate from folk songs, folk songs of a place, and to some extent, are the humanistic symbols and cultural business cards of this place.
Wang Xiaopeng, a member of the Xiangning Provincial Writers Association, has his own views on folk songs in his hometown. He once wrote: Xiangning folk songs are deeply imprinted with the imprint of Xiangning's native land, and they have their own distinctive characteristics, which have both the characteristics of the folk songs of Jinnan and Sichuan, but also the characteristics of their own mountain songs; they have the characteristics of Shanxi folk songs and are also influenced by Shaanxi folk songs; they reflect more of the life of agricultural civilization and are influenced by nomads.
The western part of Xiangning is across the river from Shaanxi, so it is more influenced by Shaanxi folk songs, just like the "sun in June, the wind in the waxing moon" that sings love, and the folk songs here are a little more popular than other folk songs in Xiangning. The southern part of Xiangning is connected with Hejin, Jishan, Xindi and other places, and the folk song style is also deeply influenced by it, such as "Walking Daizhou", "Branding Oil Buns", "Selling Dumplings", although it does not lose the characteristics of mountain songs, but also has more melodious tunes, plus its mountains are densely forested, life is not easy, people are eager for happiness, eager to go out of the mountains, folk songs will have more pride. The folk songs in the central part of Xiangning mainly refer to the county town and its surroundings, and its folk songs are a little more euphemistic and delicate, and "Laundry" can be said to be its representative work. Xiangning City is located in the north of Ji County, and its ancient Rongdi settlement, such as "Maozi Brother", although it is already a later work, there is still no lack of nomadic rugged atmosphere. The eastern part of Xiangning is the place where the folk songs of the county flourish, because of the close distance between yaodu and Jindu in ancient times, and the influence of Yao culture and Jin culture, folk songs are not only widely circulated, but also have a wide range of themes, high cultural content, melodious and gentle tunes, and subtle and gentle emotions. His masterpiece "Picking Peppercorns" works and sings at the same time, which has the legacy of ancient poetry; "Pair of Flowers" is elegant and beautiful; and "The Silversmith" is a little more ridiculous and cunning.
Folk songs are a true reflection of the lives and emotions of the people, and are living fossils left by the ancient ancestors to future generations. It seems to be an endless casual chant, but it has an irreplaceable role in enriching the cultural life of the masses and promoting people's physical and mental health.
Xiangning has a vast area, and the customs of various places are very different, which are reflected in folk songs, and the southeast, southwest, and northwest have their own characteristics, so the folk songs of Xiangning are rich and colorful, and they are a wonderful flower to be proud of in the treasure house of Chinese national literature and art.
Nostalgia The "hometown" sentiment of Eshan and Eshui is still the same
Xiangning ancient name "E" sound é, there are Eshan, Ehe (water), historically there are Ehou, the ancient city is called Ehou Gulei, Xiangning people are also known as Eren. "History of Suoyin": "The early Jin Dynasty was sealed in the Tang Dynasty, so it was called the Jin Tang Uncle Yu Ye." And after Tang Benyao, he was sealed in Xia Ruins, and all of them were in Yu'e. The first sentence of the section on the history of Xiangning in the Tongzhi of Shanxi is: "Ancient Xiadi." At the beginning of the Zhou Dynasty, Uncle Tang first sealed here. To this day, Xiangning is still called "Xia Ruins" and "Ancient Xiadi" by historians, which is the reason why the Xia Dynasty called it "Xia".
Once upon a time, a group of E-people went out, went to the east, west, south, and north, spreading with their own civilization and becoming the original force that promoted the development of the Chinese nation. Together with the achievements of the ancestors, the "E" gradually disappeared in the process of great national integration.
Riding on the legacy of their ancestors, today's Xiangning people have completely preserved the tradition of "Zhonghe Festival" with a history of more than 1200 years, and perhaps only Xiangning people know the true meaning of "Neutralization" best.
Cloud Hill Mountain Neutralization Festival
Every year in the second month of the lunar calendar, tens of thousands of people from all directions spontaneously go to Yunqiu Mountain to worship the mountain. In 2011, yunqiu mountain zhonghe festival was officially listed as a national intangible cultural heritage.
More than a thousand years ago, the national historical festival Zhonghe Festival was a festival set by Tang Dezong Li Shiqin, and only Yunqiu Mountain is still passed down in the country. Every year on the fourteenth, fifteenth and sixteenth months of the second month of the lunar calendar, tens of thousands of people from Jin, Shaanxi, And Yu and other places spontaneously gather on Yunqiu Mountain, raise flags, beat waist drums, sing songs, and drive the building, and go to the Five Dragon Palace, the Eight Treasures Palace, and various temples to watch the god race, praying for smooth wind and rain and abundant grain. Young men and women hold whips, flower baskets, worship the pagoda, make pilgrimages, touch dolls, eat jujube flowers, seek a happy marriage, and reproduce. People's every move reflects the profound humanistic connotation of China and Culture.
According to the excavation and research of experts and scholars, the Yunqiu Mountain Neutral festival of "taking the middle as the heart and using harmony" is the origin, essence and soul of traditional Chinese culture and an important embodiment of the humanistic spirit of the Chinese nation, and its three elements are: fertility worship is the root of China and culture, the unity of heaven and man is the soul of Chinese culture, and harmonious development is the light of culture; the four prayers are: pray for the wind and rain to be smooth, and the grain is abundant; pray for the protection of the gods, the peace of the country and the people; pray for a beautiful marriage, a good marriage; pray for the descendants to be long, and there will be people after them.
The idea of "neutralization" is one of the core spirits of traditional Chinese culture, and its neutralization of "Zhongzheng", "Moderation", "Appropriateness" and "Harmony" is the fundamental principle and ideal goal of the Chinese nation to correctly handle the ethical relationship between man and nature, man and himself, and between people. China and culture have a profound ideological foundation and a long historical origin, containing the world outlook and philosophical outlook of "the unity of heaven and man", "heaven and earth and man" and others living in harmony with nature, which have an important position and far-reaching influence in the history of Chinese thought.
