ZZZ Noodle Shop: Meticulous Details and Unique Design

Hello, dear proxies. There are many interesting things in the Zenless Zone Zero game. Today, let’s explore the Waterfall Soupr, a shop that blends kokeshi and wabi-sabi styles.

Intercultural blending is a common occurrence, and many cultural symbols will find their way into our everyday lives. For a fundamental example, the suona was first introduced to China from the Western area. As history developed, the suona became an essential component of China's folk music business and was successfully incorporated into our traditional folk music.

The two fish hanging on both sides of this unusual noodle shop's large front view are interesting. In reality, these are carp lantern props for a traditional folk dance from Guangdong, Jiangxi, and Sichuan.

Farmers used to dance with carp lanterns to celebrate a good harvest and pray for a good crop the next year. During the performance, the artists walk on their toes while the "carp" swims gently and clearly. The atmosphere is red-hot and warm, with folk suona and percussion accompanying it. Carp lamps are formed of bamboo gabions with a frame, which is wrapped with gauze or cotton paper and then plastered with a fish scale layer. Its head and tail are manipulable, and even its body is small.

The earliest record of the Carp Lantern Dance can be traced back to the statement in The Sui History: Records of Music": "Fish into a dragon, the dragon into a fish, the yellow dragon changes," which was seen more than 1,700 years ago, the carp lantern dance has been very popular.

When just sat down, the table set on the very adorable Luckyboo into the eyes; the body is white, the tiny hand trembling, holding a sign printed with the term beckoning fortune.

The prototype of the Luckyboo Bangboo is the Fortune Cat. "The Book of Youyang Zazu, written by Duan Chengshi of the Tang Dynasty, recounted the importance of cats in generating money; the original language reads, "When a cat washes its face and passes through the ears, customers will come." As a result, the cat at the store represents a cat cleaning its face to attract consumers.

Fortune Cat

What Teale is attempting to imply is that there are many things expressed about the beckoning cat, such as the color, the hand raised, the bell, and the rope, all of which have distinct meanings. Take a closer look at the Luckyboo; raised is the left hand, and the significance of this action is rather fascinating Perhaps the Zenless Zone Zero is deliberate, hinting at aspects of the story. It implies an endless stream of guests, and business is growing. Another layer of symbolism is to recruit night business or special industry visitors, and the identity of the main character is a proxy. In the new Avery, which belongs to the gray industry, is this a coincidence or intentional?

Elsewhere, the body of this Luckyboo is white. The general folklore regards the white Fortune Cat as a sign of good fortune and the red rope and bell as a sign of wealth and karmic origins.

There is also a black Luckyboo in the video store, holding a black fortune sign, which is symbolic of warding off evil spirits and eliminating disasters.

General Chop is the owner of the restaurant Waterfall Soup on Sixth Street. General Chop looks a lot like Dharma Unchained in terms of his overall physique. Some of my friends say that Master Chopper's face looks like a Japanese ghost face. After comparing the shape, color, and beard position, shape, demeanor, and so on, we discovered that the Nuo mask has the highest degree of similarity.

Next, we shall discuss Nuo masks. The same is true for the character Xiao's words to the Genshin Impact of miHoYo; there is a reference to the eternal dance, which is the Nuo dance, and this Nuo mask is from Nuo culture. Nuo dance, also known as ghost play, is a very old sacrificial ritual that is popularly believed to have been sacrificed to the gods by jumping spirits to drive away the disease and escape becoming a victim of the epidemic. So Xiao's sentences can be interpreted as pacifying the demonic plague and driving away the plague and pandemic. So, why are Nuo masks usually awful?

In the Nuo festival, people will be elected to wear Nuo masks, wear a variety of animal skin robes, hold a variety of weapons, act as Nuo God, perform some offensive dance, and the mouth will also read words, mostly to scold the words of the evil spirits. The whole Nuo dance team must dance from city to outside the city, and the moral will be that the plague, evil spirits, demons, sprites, and ghosts will be expelled, so Nuo masks naturally look grim-faced.

The main character eats noodles, which are a cross between Chinese and Japanese cuisines. Japanese noodle is hand-rolled noodles that are first wrapped into a huge sheet before being sliced with a knife. Chinese noodle, on the other hand, is hand-pulled, with the dough continually stretched and molded into thin strips one by one, much like wrestling, and in the over-the-top animation, Master Chopper's two mechanical arms can be seen tugging the noodles.

Let's talk about noodles in Chinese cuisine. The technique may appear easy, but it demands a high level of competence. Like the non-heritage level of noodle dragon beard noodles, as the name implies, the need to pull a dough 13 buckles (that is, the master pulling the dough stacked up and then pulling open, a change in the process of two for one buckle), that is, more than 8,000, each one thinner than a hairline. When exposed to fire, Dragon Beard Noodles will burn and be scraped off with the sweating hairs on your hands.

Zenless Zone Zero retains the miHoYo's regular level of content refinement. However, Teale is not a professional folk culture researcher, so if there is an error, I hope you can correct me.
