Let’s take a look at the following content!What are the customs of Dahan?Kitchen GodThe 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month is the Kitchen God Festival, also known as "Jiao Nian" or "Little New Year" among the people. In the old days, every household had an altar for the Kitchen God on their stove. Legend has it that the Kitchen God is a god sent by the Jade Emperor to every family to monitor people's daily good and evil. People call him "Si Ming Bodhisattva" or "Kitchen God Siming" and he is regarded as the patron saint of the family and is worshipped. At the end of every year, the Kitchen God returns to the Heavenly Palace to report to the Jade Emperor on the good and bad deeds of the family in the previous year. The Jade Emperor then hands over the fate of the family in the new year to the Kitchen God. The ceremony of sending off the Kitchen God is called "sending off the Kitchen God" or "saying goodbye to the Kitchen God". Steamed Lamian People in Tianjin steam glutinous rice during the coldest time of the twelfth lunar month. The so-called steamed wax rice means that during the Great Cold season, every household will take out some high-quality rice, wash it, steam it thoroughly, then spread it on a reed mat, wait for it to cool completely, dry it, and store it in a clean porcelain jar. It will not go bad even after decades. Eating this kind of rice in summer can prevent diarrhea; the elderly or the weak and sick can cook it with steamed rice. Good for the spleen and stomach. Eat Laba porridge Fifteen days after Xiaohan comes Dahan, which is also the last solar term of the 24 solar terms in the year. Although the weather is cold at this time, it is almost spring, so it will not be as cold as during the period from heavy snow to the winter solstice. At this time of year, people begin to get busy cleaning out the old and decorating with the new, pickling New Year's dishes, and preparing New Year's goods, because the most important festival for the Chinese people - the Spring Festival - is coming. There is also a very important day for people in the north - Laba, which is the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month. On this day, people use grains, peanuts, chestnuts, red dates, lotus seeds, etc. to cook a pot of sweet and delicious Laba porridge, which is an indispensable staple food for people during the Chinese New Year. Hairy Crab Rice Cake Hairy crab rice cake is a delicious local delicacy in Shanghai cuisine. Compared with various types of sea crabs, the hairy crab meat is more tender and sweeter. The soft and chewy rice cake slices fully absorb the freshness of the crab meat and the rich aroma of the seasoning, and are in no way inferior to the sweet and fresh hairy crab. |
