Biangbiang mian is a kind of traditional food in Xi'an. It has a history of about 2,000 years. When the cook puts the noodles against the chopping board（砧板）, the noodles make the sound "biang". In fact, there is an interesting story about the word "biang".

In old China, a scholar（秀才）goes to take exams. Unluckily, he meets some bad men on his way and loses（失去）all his money. He is very hungry. Then he sees a noodle shop and wants to eat a free bowl of noodles. He looks at the shop. There is no name for its noodles. He remembers his difficult trip. So, he has an idea of making the Chinese word "". He writes it down on the paper. The shop keeper 24thinks the word is interesting and gives him a big bowl of noodles. Later, the scholar does well in the exam and people start to eat biangbiang mian. Because they think the noodles can bring them good luck.

Today, many people visit Xi'an and sit down in any restaurant to eat a bowl of biangbiang noodles.
