What traditional food is eaten during Xiaohan?1. In the traditional folk custom of eating yellow sprouts , people in Tianjin used to like to eat yellow sprouts on the Minor Cold Day. Yellow sprouts, also known as heart-warming cabbage, belong to a group of Chinese cabbage. In ancient times, yellow sprouts were a rare and precious new vegetable variety that was planted in greenhouses in the north and in open fields in the south, and was planted in autumn and harvested in winter. In addition, the conditions in ancient times were limited, so people came up with the idea of eating yellow sprouts to make up for the shortage of vegetables in winter.2. Eat glutinous rice. As the saying goes, "It's cold even without wind during the Lesser Cold and the Greater Cold." In Guangdong, it is a custom to eat glutinous rice during the Lesser Cold and the Greater Cold to ward off the cold. The fixed ingredients of traditional glutinous rice with cured meat include glutinous rice, cured meat, cured sausage and peanuts, as well as mushrooms, dried shrimps, scallops, coriander, barbecued pork, squid, etc. Normally, glutinous rice is eaten in the morning of the Lesser Cold and Greater Cold, but due to school and work, there is no time, so it is eaten in the evening. 3. Eating vegetable rice In ancient times, people in Nanjing attached great importance to Xiaohan, but with the passage of time, its importance has gradually faded. However, the custom of eating vegetable rice during the Lesser Cold solar term is still very popular. For poor families or in difficult times, vegetable rice is rice cooked with vegetables, oil and salt. For those who are better off, vegetable rice is served with bacon, sausage, ham, diced pressed duck, and some chopped ginger cooked together with glutinous rice, which is very fragrant and delicious. 4. Eat mutton. According to folklore, "eat mutton during the Lesser Cold and eat radish during the Greater Cold." The Lesser Cold is the coldest time of the year, and mutton is also a popular traditional food during the Lesser Cold season. Lamb is the most cost-effective warm food. It can not only keep out the cold but also nourish the body. If you add some angelica, yam and carrot to mutton and cook them together, it will not only not cause you to get a sore throat, but also keep you warm throughout the winter. |
