In the early years of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty, he brought his two sons, Xin and Yi, and traded Shangdang's Lu hemp and pears for Qi County's coarse cloth and red dates. He traveled back and forth between the two places to make a profit. Over time, he saved some money and settled down in Qi County. During the reign of Emperor Yongzheng, the fourteenth generation Qu Baichuan left for the west on the day of Jingzhe. His father took out a pear and asked him to eat it, saying that his ancestors started a business by selling pears, experienced hardships, and settled in Qi County. Today is the Jingzhe day for you to leave for the west, and eating pears means that you will not forget your ancestors and work hard to start a business to bring honor to your family. Qu Baichuan went to the west to do business and became rich, and named the business he opened "Changyuanhou". Later, those who went west also followed suit and ate pears, mostly with the intention of "leaving home to start a business." Even later, pears were eaten on the Waking of Insects Day, with the idea of "working hard to honor ancestors." [2] Eating pears during the Waking of Insects: helps to improve the spleen, keeps crops away from pests, and prevents diseases <br /> The climate is relatively dry, which can easily cause dry mouth and cough. Therefore, there is a folk custom of eating pears during the Waking of Insects. Pears can be eaten raw, steamed, juiced, roasted or boiled in water. Eating pears can improve your temper, keep the five internal organs in harmony, and strengthen your body to resist the invasion of bacteria. The day of Jingzhe is when all insects wake up, and eating pears is a reminder for everyone to be careful and take precautions. Eating pears during the Waking of Insects can keep pests away from crops and ensure a good harvest throughout the year. The whole family must eat pears on this day. "One No": |
