The origin of the name of baiji dolphin

Since ancient times, the Arctic has been the main road of Shaanxi and Gansu, and there are post stations. Because the post horses are all white, they are named Bai Jiyi.

In Ming and Qing Dynasties, when the Golden Society established the town of Bletilla striata, the people changed the pronunciation of Bletilla striata to Bletilla striata. Some people say that it was because the word "Ji" was difficult to write, so it became "Bai Ji", and now the locals still call it that. Before the middle of Qing dynasty, it was once a place where Hui and Han lived together. This place is called "Baijili", and locals can make Baijili and use it as their daily staple food. 1In August, 863, the Hui people, an old household in the Arctic, responded to the uprising of the Hui people in Guanzhong, and brought this technology of making Baiji steamed buns to all parts of the country, which is still very popular today. Because this kind of bread originated from Baijimo, it is also called Baijimo.
