Xi'an is the capital of Shaanxi Province. The ancient Chinese city is best known for its Terra Cotta Warriors. But the local people are also proud of Xi'an's food. It is often said that Xi'an has the largest number of traditional snacks of all the cities in North China.
Now the Xi'an government is considering regulating(统一管理) the local food, but the popularity of Xi'an's food is rising. On its website, the government says it is considering setting some standards. The standards will cover five of the city's most popular snacks, including “rou jia mo” and “yang rou pao mo”．
Yang Yihui, a government official, said the standards wouldn't regulate styles or features of different cooks or restaurants. The main goal of the move is to set basic requirements on ingredients(成分) and processes. The standards are trying to improve the national even the international image (形象) of Xi'an's food.
People hold different opinions on the standards. The move has been wellreceived by some people. They think that the standards will help all local restaurants serve wellmade Xi'an's snacks. However, there are also some people who think setting the standards is meaningless.They__think__different__cooks__should__be__encouraged__to__use__different__ingredients__and__processes. They fear if Xi'an's food is regulated, there will be no difference between a “rou jia mo” and a Big Mac.
