What are the traditional customs of Bailu?

Traditional customs of Bailu: eating longan
There is a tradition in Fuzhou that "longan must be eaten during the White Dew Festival".
Longan itself has many functions such as invigorating qi and spleen, nourishing blood and calming nerves, moisturizing skin and beautifying, etc. It can also treat many diseases such as anemia, insomnia, neurasthenia, etc.
The longans before Bailu are big, with small cores and good sweet taste, so it is the best to eat longans during Bailu. No matter whether it is really nutritious or not, eating it is nutritious, so people in Fuzhou are also accustomed to this traditional custom.
Traditional customs of Bailu: Celebrating Bailu Festival
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). It is said that eating it can nourish the body and remove wind (arthritis).
The “ten kinds of white” here refer to ten kinds of herbs with the word “white” in their name, such as white hibiscus, white bitter herb, etc., which correspond to the literal meaning of “white dew”.
Traditional customs of Bailu: offering sacrifice to King Yu
The White Dew season is 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. Traditional customs of Bailu: drinking Bailu tea
Old Nanjing people are very fond of "White Dew Tea". The tea trees at this time 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.
Traditional customs of Bailu: brewing Bailu rice wine
Old Nanjing people from southern Jiangsu and Zhejiang have the custom of brewing their own Bailu rice wine. In the old days, when Bailu arrived every year, every family in the countryside in Jiangsu and Zhejiang would brew wine to entertain guests.
The wine is warm and slightly sweet, and is called "Bai Lu Rice Wine". The finest Bailu rice wine is "Chengjiu", which is named after the water from Chengjiang River.
