Xuchang beancurd bamboo is a green food that integrates environmental protection and nutrition, and is known as "meat in vegetable". Beancurd bamboo is popular among consumers because of its bright color, fine texture and mellow taste.
  Hejie Township in Xuchang County is the origin of tofu bamboo. According to research, the Tang Dynasty "Zhongyue Yingchuan Annals", the Yuan Dynasty "Xuzhou annals", the Ming Dynasty "Xuzhou Echinochloshi", the Qing Dynasty "Xuchang County annals" and other historical records of Xuchang area have a detailed record of the selection of raw materials, production technology and other content.
  After the 1970s, the beancurd and bamboo industry in Xuchang City changed from decentralized to standardized in management, and integrated traditional technology with modern technology, and entered the golden period of development.
