Mianshanzi 面扇子
Mianshanzi is a kind of wheat flour food made in a fan shape. The custom of eating mianshanzi on the Dragon Boat Festival mainly prevails in Minqin county in Northwest China's Gansu province. This fan-shaped food is made up of five multi-colored layers, with each layer covered with fried sprinkles of pepper powder. The layers are pinched into a variety of patterns to make it appealing to eyes. This dietary custom is said to be trace back to the tradition of making and selling fans during Duanwu Festival in ancient times.
面扇子是用小麦粉做成的扇形面食。甘肃省民勤县一带,端午节这天都蒸面扇子。面扇子用发面蒸制,呈扇形,有5层。每层撒上碾细的熟胡椒粉,表面捏成各种花纹,染上颜色,十分好看。这种食俗据说是由端午节制扇、卖扇、赠扇的风俗演变而来的。
