Sanyuan was called Chiyang in ancient times, and the earliest historical records record that Sanyuan was a protector set up by Former Qin, and later the Northern Wei changed it to Sanyuan County. Sanyuan is the collective name of the three platforms of Menghouyuan, Qingfengyuan and Bailuyuan.
If Guanzhong is regarded as a supine man, Xi'an is the abdominal area, then Mihara is in the position of the navel eye. Facing the Guanzhong Plain, Sanyuan gradually transitions from the loess plateau crisscrossing the Loess Plateau. The highest point in the territory of Mihara is mount Saga, and in the interpretation of the text, the meaning of saga is that the mountain is high.
Looking south from the top of Saga Mountain, the Guanzhong Plain is in full view, the Jing River and the Wei River flow slowly, the Jing River is clear, the Wei water is turbid, gathered together, and finally joins the Yellow River. As the mother river of the Guanzhong Han, Jingwei Liangshui nurtured tens of millions of children in the land of Sanqin. During the Ming and Qing dynasties, the Weibei region was prosperous in commerce and trade, Andiyuan and Jingyang became the distribution centers of materials from the south to the north, and the collision and fusion of food cultures gave rise to the special snack of indigo candy, which combines the northern and southern diets.
The big indigo candy:
The three original indigo candy is in the shape of a drumstick, and when you bite down, you can see the fluffy and porous, intertwined silk mesh, and the color is as white as snow. After carefully tasting, I felt how crisp and sweet the indigo sugar was, soft and easy to melt. Indigo sugar is light, small and delicate, very cute. On the golden skin, the sesame seeds are evenly adhered to, adding a bit of visual enjoyment.
According to legend, indigo candy began in the Ming Zhengde period and was quite famous in Guanzhong. According to legend, at the end of the Ming Dynasty, every waxing moon, hawkers in the southern region used the local high-quality rice (that is, glutinous rice) to make rice cakes and transport them to Sanyuan and Jingyang to sell. At the end of the Year, it is inconvenient to sell the remaining rice cakes to bring back, and they are stored in the homes of relatives and friends, and hung upstairs to let them dry. After the following year, it is mashed into sticks or round balls, fried in oil and sold. This kind of next year's aged rice cake, dew, and then crushed and into a stick, fried in oil, the inside is fluffy, the volume is expanded, it is crispy and sweet to eat, it has a different flavor, people call it "marshmallow". The eaters praised: "肓,(Guanzhong dialect, meaning "good") 纘太! Therefore, it is also called "flower sugar". When the Eight-Nation Alliance invaded China, Empress Dowager Cixi, who fled to Xi'an, ate this snack and praised it, and when she saw that it looked like a lotus flower, she gave it the name of indigo candy. In this way, the candy became a tribute approved by the court and was exclusively enjoyed by the elite. After receiving the approval of the official eunuchs, indigo candy began to become popular among the people, entering thousands of households and becoming a snack snack with a good reputation. The reputation of Sanyuan indigo candy was greatly enhanced, and eventually together with Fuyuanguan indigo candy and Anyang indigo candy, it was jointly renowned throughout the country.

Mihara is also the hometown of Yu Youren, who is known as the "Hairdog", with long hair fluttering, and the older he gets, the more he is almost like a fairy wind Dao bone. Yu Youren studied at Guanzhong Academy and was the successor of Guan Xue. With a pure heart, he ignited the seeds of revolution in Shaanxi. In the siege of Xi'an in August, he ran in many ways to appeal for help Xi'an break the siege.
