The production of Dough Flower is rife in the central Shaanxi plain and Shanbei, the indigenes calling it Hua Mo (flower-like steam bread). When there are weddings or funerals and holiday celebrations, the villagers will make various types of Hua Mo whose shapes are unique and lifelike. They are displayed on tables or presented to relatives and friends. Hua Mo is a kind of food and it is also a local artwork. While making Hua Mo, the dough making and the duration and degree of heating is quite an art, and only those who are very skillful can make good-shaped, non-deforming Hua Mo.
