地理标志对推动区域特色经济发展、助力乡村振兴、传承传统文化、促进对外开放具有重要意义。由于强调产地的作用，也就注定了地理标志和“吃”有着莫大的联系，地道风味令人“惦记”。国庆长假期间，河南国际传播中心策划推出“尝一尝地理标志产品”专题报道，实地探访河南原产地好物，带您领略舌尖上的河南之美。

Geographical indications play a significant role in fostering regional economic growth, supporting rural revitalization, preserving traditional culture, and promoting opening up to the world. Since they emphasize the importance of origin, geographical indications are naturally tied to food, with genuine regional flavors leaving a lasting impression. During China's National Day holiday, the Henan International Communication Center (HICC) launched a special report series titled "Taste Geographical Indication Products in Henan Province", exploring different original locations across central China's Henan province to showcase the region's culinary delights.

将打散的鸡蛋液倒入热油锅中，煎至两面金黄。放入过冬的大白菜，一起炝炒。然后锅中加入清水，水开煮面。一碗热气腾腾的大白菜鸡蛋面瞬间唤醒人们的味蕾。

Pour beaten eggs into a hot oil pan and fry until both sides are golden brown. Add winter-stored Chinese cabbage and stir-fry together. Then, add water to the pan and boil the noodles. A bowl of steaming hot cabbage and egg noodles will instantly awaken your taste buds.

媒体从业人祁齐自参加工作，就很少回潢川老家。每次回去，吃的第一顿饭都是妈妈煮的潢川贡面。“还是小时候那个味儿，连汤带水地吃着暖和又舒坦。”祁齐说。

Qi Qi, a Chinese media professional, has seldom returned to his hometown of Huangchuan county in Henan province since starting his career. Every time he goes back, the first meal he enjoys is Huangchuan hollow gongmian (tribute noodle) cooked by his mother. " It still tastes just like it did when I was a child—warm and comforting, especially with the soup," Qi said.

如今的潢川空心贡面已不再是简单的面食了。今年4月20日，2024年全国知识产权宣传周河南分会场活动上，潢川空心贡面（光州贡面）地理标志产品保护示范区被正式授牌。而早在2013年，潢川空心贡面（光州贡面）就已成功获得国家地理标志产品保护。

Today, Huangchuan hollow gongmian is more than just a simple noodle dish. On April 20, at the 2024 National Intellectual Property Publicity Week, Henan branch event, the Huangchuan Hollow gongmian (Kwangchow gongmian) Geographical Indication Product Protection Demonstration Zone was officially inaugurated. As early as 2013, Huangchuan hollow gongmian (Kwangchow gongmian) had already gained national geographical indication product protection.

“这不仅是荣誉，更是将潢川的‘土特产’变成‘金名片’，成为推动贡面产业升级，助力当地经济发展的动力。”潢川县市场监管局相关负责人说。

"This is not just an honor," said a representative from the Market Supervision and Regulation Bureau of Huangchuan County, "it elevates Huangchuan's 'local specialty' into a 'golden calling card', driving the upgrading of the gongmian industry and boosting local economic development."

条细如丝、芯似管状、筋道爽口，是潢川空心贡面留给人们的印象。潢川空心贡面，始于唐、盛于宋，距今有1300多年的历史，曾为历代朝廷贡品。从家庭作坊到规模化、标准化生产车间，潢川空心贡面产业已成为带领当地群众致富的明星产业。在龙头生产企业的带动下，潢川空心贡面市场占有率逐渐扩大、品牌知名度不断提升。

With noodles as thin as silk, a tubular core, and a al dente yet smooth texture, hollow gongmian leaves a lasting impression. Originating in the Tang Dynasty (618-907) and flourishing during the Song Dynasty (960-1279), this noodle has a history of over 1,300 years and was once a tribute to the imperial court. From small family workshops to large-scale, standardized production facilities, the Huangchuan hollow gongmian industry has become an important driver of local prosperity. Driven by leading production enterprises, the market share and brand recognition of Huangchuan hollow gongmian have steadily increased.

做好一碗面，带富一座城。就在两个月前，潢川付店镇贡面产业园开工建设。待这个集贡面生产加工、非遗体验、产品展示、仓储物流等多种业态于一体的综合性产业园区建成后，将带动上下游相关产业协同发展，真正实现潢川空心贡面从“一根面”到“金丝线”的转变。（中文来源/河南日报 记者/胡舒彤 编译/童林 英文审校/朱文晓）

A good bowl of noodles can bring prosperity to a city. Just two months ago, construction began on the Huangchuan Hollow Gongmian Industrial Park in Fudian town, Huangchuan county. Once completed, this comprehensive industrial park—integrating production, intangible cultural heritage experiences, product displays, and warehousing logistics—will promote coordinated development across related industries, elevating Huangchuan hollow gongmian from a mere "strand of noodle" into a "golden thread". (Chinese source/Henan Daily Reporter/Hu Shutong Translator/Tong Lin Proofreader/Zhu Wenxiao)
