According to legend, in ancient times, soldiers and people worked hard day and night regardless of the heat and cold. In order to let relatives eat the noodles above, their families hang the rolled and cut noodles on bamboo poles to dry and bind them, and send them to the construction site together with the prepared sour soup, so that relatives can cook them in the pot and eat them in the sour soup after work. This way of eating can satisfy hunger and thirst, and it is known as the first-class comfort food. Later, some people improved the dried noodles into handmade noodles, and added "bleaching" to the sour soup (egg pancakes, tender leeks and cabbage heart chopped), which became a widely circulated sour soup noodles among the people and banquets.

It can be said that instant noodles and dried noodles are very popular in the north. In the past, the academic circles always thought that the "dried noodles" recorded in Eating in the Yuan Dynasty was the earliest record of dried noodles in China. New research shows that China people have been eating this kind of "fast food" since the Tang Dynasty. Dr. Gao, who specializes in Dunhuang food research, said: "Looking up Dunhuang literature, we found that dried noodles appeared in the Tang Dynasty, which was called' beard noodles' at that time." This "beard" is often given away in a gift box. For example, at that time, there was a family in Dunhuang who used "beard noodles" as a dowry in the wedding custom.

In today's China, there are many places where dried noodles are called "Longxu Noodles".
