Dabobo, a noodle of the Han nationality, was used as a sacrifice in ancient times and is still used to worship ancestors in Jiaodong during the Spring Festival. It is mostly produced in Jiaodong Peninsula, Shandong Province, and its epidemic areas are Yantai, Weihai and Rizhao, also known as Jujube Wave.

The history of jujube cake can be traced back to wheat planting with a long history. Since the beginning of wheat, there have been sacrifices. In the 6th century BC, during the epoch-making period, Xuanyuan opened up agriculture, and wheat was planted in Shandong, Shanxi, Henan, Hebei and other places, but it was not popularized throughout the country.

During the war, in order to commemorate Xuanyuan, farmers began to have cakes and expressed their gratitude and respect to Xuanyuan by making fragrant and big flower cakes. The origin of cakes began with sacrifices, mainly to heaven, earth and black-and-white weddings, and jujube cakes were the main sacrifices. By the Ming Dynasty, Bobo had spread all over the country, and every household could do it.

In the traditional customs of Jiaodong people, every household will steam some flower cakes on holidays, decorate the steamed cakes with dragon and phoenix, pomegranate flowers, lotus throne and other patterns, and all auspicious wishes are condensed in them. In addition to giving it to your family, you will also send flowers and cakes as gifts to your relatives and friends, which means that your life is booming and thriving.

In Jiaodong, the best thing for Chinese New Year is to eat fat cakes for free. Starting from New Year's Eve, every household has to offer sacrifices to the kitchen god, the god of wealth, the god of heaven and earth, the family hall (also called bodhisattva), the ancestors (also called the mother of the old father-in-law) and so on. And the offerings of this sacrifice are indispensable.

People in Jiaodong make jujube cakes in the New Year for good luck. Cake is made of dough, which means "Dafa". "Jujube" is homophonic with "early", so jujube cake contains the meaning of "early hair" and "big hair". Whether looking forward to a prosperous career or eager for a developed career, the word "fat" really contains the good wishes of Jiaodong people for a better life.

Extended data:

Jujube bobo is also the protagonist of a happy event. There is a highest level of cake making. Cake can "laugh", that is, it cracks a hole when it is out of the pot, and it also has a good meaning, but it is impossible to achieve this level. The "smile" of the cake is related to the skill of kneading dough. When mixing dough, add raw flour to the fermented flour, which is easier to crack. Normal dough is not funny.

"Famian" hair is the same as "Facai" hair, which is also a good moral. This is very particular when holding a wedding. People often see who has done a good job in the form of competitions, and the number of cakes they make when they get married is also particular. Four cakes are a kind of happiness, and eight cakes are double happiness. Before the wedding, there were no tableware, only a pair of candles and eight cakes.

Jiaodong Popland, which has a history of thousands of years, shows the intelligence of Jiaodong people, is the pride of the Chinese nation and a beautiful landscape of Jiaodong pasta culture.
