Beijing preserved fruit to compete for cultural heritage

近日,已有300多年歷史的北京果脯,將憑借其獨特的制作技藝申報北京市非物質(zhì)文化遺產(chǎn).

Recently, the Beijing preserved fruit which has over 300 years history will apply for the status of national intangible cultural heritage because of its special workmanship.

據(jù)介紹,老北京人熟悉的"北京果脯",在清末民初就已馳名國內(nèi)外.其制作從明末皇宮御膳房開始,因果脯與"國富"諧音,具有"國強民富"的意思,所以深得宮廷喜愛.

As we know, the "Bejing preserved fruit" is well-known home and abroad from the late Qing Dynasty. It's begun in the Palace kitchen in late Ming Dynasty. The pronunciation of "preserved fruit" is homonymic as "national wealth", which means "The nation is prosperous and the people are strong and powerful". So the palace likes it.

紅螺食品就是北京一家生產(chǎn)果脯的企業(yè).國家非物質(zhì)文化遺產(chǎn)保護專家委員會委員、民俗專家趙書介紹,北京紅螺食品前身是成立于1909年的百年老號"聚順和",距今已102年.

Zhaoshu, who is in the National Intangible Cultural Heritage Protection Committee of Experts said that they have found the Beijing Hongluo Food Compang has grew out of the the "Jushunhe". And "Jushunhe" had been founded in 1909, which is 102 years old.

"我們將申請市級、國家級非物質(zhì)文化遺產(chǎn),"紅螺食品董事長李效華說,"我們正致力于把原來只能即做即吃的老北京小食品變成能保存的休閑食品."據(jù)悉,原"聚順和"在大柵欄、煤市街的原址還在,并有希望搬回原址.

"We will apply for the status of municipal and national intangible cultural heritage", said the CEO Li Xiaohua in Beijing Hongluo Food Compang. " we are committed to turn the snack food of ancient Beijing into preservative food." It is heard that former address of "Juheshun" in Dashilar Entrance and Meishi Street had been existing. Maybe they will return back.
