After this kind of small round cake is successfully baked, what should it be called? The Muslims at that time were not proficient in Chinese and were not familiar with the names of various Han cakes. Because this small round cake became their main food at that time, and in order to facilitate communication with the mixed Han people and other ethnic groups, they named this small round cake with the transliteration of "Turml" (Turml), the Arabic word for "food". "Tulm" is just a phonetic symbol, used and popular among Muslims. Its origin has been forgotten by people. No one knows how to write these three words, let alone what their meaning is. Later, perhaps in modern, modern or contemporary times, some operators wanted to make a signboard for "Turm", or someone wanted to write an article about "Turm", and then I seriously thought about "Turm". ". If ancient Muslims gave "Tulm" a phonetic name, then today's Muslims give it a written name. "Tulmu" is a food, so the name must be accompanied by the word "food", so an antique name "馦馦馍" appeared. "Fu" is a phonetic borrowing of "Fu" from the ancient "Fu". "Fu" is a kind of soup noodle in ancient times, which has nothing to do with cakes. The sound "木" is replaced by "馍". The meaning of one sentence is consistent, and the initial consonant of all ten words is "m", which is a homophone. Until now, Muslims in Xi'an still pronounce "馍" as "mú" when they say "饦馦鍍". Most of the time it is simply called "Fufu".
