Eat ZongziThe tradition of eating rice dumplings on Dragon Boat Festival originated in 340 BC. Qu Yuan, a patriotic poet, jumped into the river on May 5th. In order to prevent fish and shrimp from eating Qu Yuan's body in the river, people put rice and eggs in bamboo buckets. Some people even poured realgar wine into the river in order to drug the dragons and make them faint, thus protecting Doctor Qu Yuan from harm. Since then, in order to commemorate him, people go to the river to throw rice dumplings and row dragon boats on May 5th every year. In memory of the great patriotic poet. 2. Eating eggs The origin of eating eggs on the Dragon Boat Festival is the same as that of rice dumplings. Eggs are also an important food on the Dragon Boat Festival. In the morning, before the children get out of bed, adults will put eggs to the children's mouths. According to folklore, eating eggs will cause heart disease. Because eggs are shaped like a heart, people generally believe that eating eggs can protect the heart and spirit from damage. On the one hand, eating eggs during the Dragon Boat Festival is for good luck and to pray for a year without getting sick; on the other hand, it is to improve life. Boiling eggs with mugwort not only has the special fragrance of mugwort, but also can dispel bad luck and disease. 3. Eating oil cakes Eating oil cakes on the Dragon Boat Festival is a traditional custom in Lantian County, Shaanxi Province. It is as important as hanging mugwort and making rice dumplings. In addition to eating rice dumplings, people also eat fried cakes on the Dragon Boat Festival. Fried cakes are made with kneaded hot-oil dough, wrapped with stuffing made of sugar, osmanthus, rose, walnut kernels and lard, and then fried in a pan. The skin is fluffy, the filling is sweet and the appearance is beautiful. 4. Drink Wujia wine “Picking angelica sinensis on the fifth day of May and brewing angelica wine” is a folk custom. Acanthopanax is the bark of Acanthopanax, which has a fragrant and bitter smell. The bark of Acanthopanax has a unique fragrance and can nourish the body and strengthen the bones. People believe that drinking Wujia wine can ward off evil spirits. The medicinal uses of Acanthopanax Cortex are mainly for treating hernia, abdominal pain, male impotence, residual urine, female waist and spine pain, foot pain, etc. Located in a humid area, it is particularly suitable for drinking Wujia wine during the Dragon Boat Festival. 5. Eating crispy and crunchy fried dough twist is also a must-have food for the Dragon Boat Festival. The Dragon Boat Festival itself is to commemorate our great patriotic poet Qu Yuan. On this day, we cannot say anything unlucky, so eating sesame candy (mahua) to stick our mouths is also to wish our lives sweet and beautiful. 6. Eat the "Five Reds" and "Five Yellows" The traditional Dragon Boat Festival delicacies in Nanjing are the "five yellows", namely eel, yellow croaker, duck egg yolk, cucumber, and realgar wine. With the changes of history and the development of society, the content of "Five Yellows" gradually evolved into the current "Five Reds", namely "roast duck, amaranth, duck eggs, lobster, and realgar wine." It is said that if you eat the "five reds" and "five yellows" during the Dragon Boat Festival, you can ward off evil spirits and cool off throughout the summer. 7. Drinking calamus wine is a traditional custom of the Dragon Boat Festival. Chen Kechang, a scholar in the Southern Song Dynasty, once wrote the poem "Calamus floats on the wine cups and tables, in the beginning of May every year". Acorus wine is a kind of medicinal wine made from calamus as the medicinal ingredient and white wine or yellow wine as the base wine. Drinking calamus wine on the Dragon Boat Festival is to ward off evil spirits and poisons, and long-term consumption can cure diseases and strengthen the body. 8. Eat Jian Dui In Jinjiang, Fujian, every household eats Jian Dui on the Dragon Boat Festival. Jian Dui is made by mixing flour, rice flour or sweet potato flour and other ingredients into a thick paste and frying it. According to legend, in ancient times, the area of southern Fujian was in the rainy season before the Dragon Boat Festival, with continuous rain. People said that the God of Heaven had made a hole in the sky and needed to "repair it." After eating "Jian Dui" on the Dragon Boat Festival, the rain stopped and people said that the sky was repaired. This eating custom comes from this. 9. Eating rice cakes The Dragon Boat Festival is a grand festival for the ** people in Yanbian, Jilin Province. The most representative food of this day is the fragrant rice cake. Dagao is a rice cake made by placing mugwort and glutinous rice in a large wooden trough carved from a single log, and beating it with a long-handled wooden mallet. This kind of food is very ethnic and can add to the festive atmosphere. As the saying goes, "A good fate is not as good as good luck." A person's destiny is already determined, and the only thing that can be controlled is his or her "luck."
