In July 2021, the "BMW Chinese Culture Tour yunnan visit" project was officially launched under the guidance and support of the Yunnan Provincial Intangible Cultural Heritage Protection Center.
With the theme of "Exploring the Ancient Yunnan Canghai sea, a spiritual homeland of diversity and integration", and the cross-border integration of "intangible cultural heritage + tourism" as the carrier, the visit activity helped support the local improvement of the level of research and development of intangible cultural heritage by publicizing the excellent traditional culture of various ethnic groups in Yunnan, and attracted more tourists to visit and experience the colorful, unique and diverse national cultural charm of Yunnan.
The reporter saw the most traditional bait making process here in the "Guandu Bait Block Transmission Hall" in Guandu Ancient Town, Kunming. Legend has it that when the Yongli Emperor of the Ming Dynasty was chased by Wu Sangui and ran all the way to Tengchong, the village elder of Tengchong made up a stir-fry with a bait and the only good thing in his home to offer the Yongli Emperor. Who knows that this "urgent chapter" was praised by the Yongli Emperor because of the excellent texture of the Tengchong bait block, saying that it was "the big driver who saved the orphan", and then this kind of fried bait block was called "big rescue driving".
In Jiangsu and Zhejiang, bait blocks are made in the countryside during the New Year, and in the cities, they are made into small strips and sold, and the name is called rice cakes.
Before the establishment of the school, the manufacturing technology of handmade bait blocks was on the verge of extinction. The raw material of the bait block is rice, but it is necessary to choose rice with good quality, flavor and stickiness.
The traditional bait making techniques and processes are very exquisite, all hand-scooped and kneaded. It needs to go through multiple links such as rice selection, soaking rice, steaming rice, scooping, kneading, drying and so on to form. It has the characteristics of large stickiness, smooth muscles and bones, fresh and delicious.
Under natural climatic conditions, it can be stored for up to 3 months. (For more news, please pay attention to Yangcheng Pie pai.ycwb.com)
