Lamian (traditional Chinese: 拉麵; simplified Chinese: 拉面; pinyin: Lāmiàn) is a type of soft wheatflour Chinese noodle that is particularly common in northern China. Lamian is made by twisting, stretching and folding the dough into strands, using the weight of the dough. The length and thickness of the strands depends on the number of times the dough is folded. This unique method of making noodles originated in China. The Songshi Yangsheng Bu (traditional Chinese: 宋氏養生部; simplified Chinese: 宋氏养生部), which was written by Song Xu and dates back to 1504, has the earliest description of the method to make lamian.
