However, many places no longer do this, but "Daiyu Burying Flowers" is very representative. In ancient my country, agriculture and nature were given great importance, and burying flowers was mainly one of the ways to send gifts to the flower gods and pray for better fortune.2. Boiling plums: Most areas in the southern region have the custom of boiling green plums. Boiling green plums can improve qi and blood, eliminate fatigue, beautify the skin and have many other benefits. There are records of boiling green plum wine in the ancient Three Kingdoms period.

In fact, people regard zongzi as substitutes for people and pray for peace. |
