If you want to know more about the seventh month of the lunar calendar in 2020, please follow Mr. Shui Mo’s website!What are the customs of the White Dew solar term?Customs of the White Dew solar term: offering sacrifice to King YuThe White Dew season is also the time when the people of Taihu Lake offer sacrifices to King Yu. King Yu is the legendary flood control hero Dayu, and the fishermen on the shores of Taihu Lake call him the "Water Bodhisattva." Every year on the eighth day of the first lunar month, Qingming Festival, the seventh day of the seventh lunar month and the White Dew Festival, incense ceremonies to worship King Yu are held here. Among them, the Qingming Festival and the White Dew Festival in spring and autumn are the largest and last for a week. While offering sacrifices to King Yu, people also offer sacrifices to the god of land, the god of flowers, the silkworm girl, the door gods, the god of the house, Jiang Taigong, etc. During the event, "Fishing and Killing the Family" is a must-perform play, which expresses people's hope and yearning for a better life. White Dew solar term custom: eating longan There is a tradition in Fuzhou that "longan must be eaten during the White Dew Festival". The folk saying goes that eating longan on the day of White Dew has a miraculous effect of nourishing the body. Eating a longan on this day is equivalent to eating a chicken. It sounds too exaggerated and it is not that magical, but I believe there is some truth to it. Because longan itself has many functions such as invigorating qi and tonifying spleen, nourishing blood and calming the mind, moisturizing skin and beautifying, it can also treat anemia, insomnia, neurasthenia and many other diseases. Moreover, the longans before Bailu are large, with small cores and good sweet taste, so eating longan during Bailu is the best. No matter whether it is really tonic or not, eating it is tonic, so people in Fuzhou are also accustomed to this traditional custom. Customs of the White Dew solar term: White Dew tea "The rushes are lush and green, and the white dew turns to frost." When the White Dew solar term arrives, the autumn atmosphere becomes more intense. In the old days, Nanjing people attached great importance to the "coming" and "going" of the solar terms, and gradually formed solar term customs with Nanjing characteristics. Old Nanjing people who love drinking tea are very fond of "White Dew Tea". At this time, the tea trees have gone through the scorching heat of summer, and the period around White Dew is the best time for its growth. Bailu tea is neither as fresh and tender as spring tea, nor as dry and bitter as summer tea. Instead, it has a unique sweet and refreshing fragrance and is especially loved by veteran tea drinkers. Furthermore, the spring tea stored at home has been almost "consumed", and the Bailu tea is just coming in time, so around the Bailu season, some tea drinkers will ask others to buy some Bailu tea. Nanjing's daily diet also emphasizes health preservation in autumn. There are fewer raw vegetables and cold dishes on the table, but more soups, with an emphasis on moisturizing. Eat more juicy, intestinal-moisturizing fruits such as fresh pears to prevent autumn dryness. Customs of the Bailu solar term: Bailu rice wine The areas of Xingning, Sandu and Liaojiang in Zixing have always had the custom of brewing wine. Every year when the White Dew Festival comes, every family makes wine, and when entertaining guests, they must drink "local wine". The wine is warm and slightly sweet, and is called "Bai Lu Rice Wine". Bailu wine is made from glutinous rice, sorghum and other grains. It has a slightly sweet taste, so it is called "Bailu rice wine". The finest Bailu rice wine is "Chengjiu", which is named after the water from Chengjiang River. Chengjiu was a tribute wine in ancient times and its reputation spread far and wide. "Shui Jing Zhu" records: "There is Lushui in Chen County, which originates from the northwest of Hougong Mountain in the east of the county, flows southward and flows into Chengshui Creek of Lei and Wei. The county set up a tavern at the foot of the mountain and brewed it, which was named "Chengjiu", and offered it to the emperor." Both Lujiu and Chengjiu are fine wines handed down from generation to generation. "Book of Jin. Chronicle of Emperor Wu" records: "He recommended Chengjiu and Lu to the Taimiao", which shows that Chengjiu should be comparable to Chengjiu and Lu. The "Jiuyu Zhi" also said: "Chengshui is in Xingning County, Chenzhou today. Its source comes from Chengxiang. This water is used to make wine, so it is named 'Chengjiu' to distinguish it from wine." Chengxiang is the area of Sandu and Liaojiang today. Zixing was called Xingning from the Southern Song Dynasty to the early years of the Republic of China, so there is a saying that it is Xingning County of Chenzhou. Customs of the White Dew solar term: Ten kinds of white In Cangnan, Pingyang and other places, people collect "ten kinds of white" (there is also a saying of "three kinds of white") on this day to stew black-bone white-feathered chicken (or duck). It is said that eating it can nourish the body and remove wind (arthritis). The “Ten Whites” are 10 kinds of herbs with the word “white” in their name, such as white hibiscus, white bitter gourd, etc., which literally correspond to “white dew”. White Dew solar term custom: eating sweet potatoes It is believed that eating sweet potatoes during the White Dew Festival can prevent stomach acid after eating shredded sweet potatoes or shredded sweet potatoes with rice throughout the year. Therefore, in the old days, farmers used to eat sweet potatoes during the White Dew Festival. Customs of the White Dew solar term: Black-bone white-feathered chicken (or duck) There is a custom of celebrating the White Dew Festival in Wenzhou, Zhejiang and other places. In Cangnan, Pingyang and other places, people collect "ten kinds of white" (there is also a saying of "three kinds of white") on this day to stew black-bone white-feathered chicken (or duck).
