On this day, people pay special attention to commemorating the deceased and sending them winter clothes. It is known as one of the three major "ghost festivals" of the year, along with the Qingming Festival in spring and the Zhongyuan Festival in autumn.But unlike the Qingming Festival in spring and the Zhongyuan Festival in autumn, in addition to sending paper money to the dead in the form of burning, because it is the first day of the cold winter season, the living should put on more clothes to keep warm, and think of the dead's need to protect themselves from the cold. Therefore, the traditional Cold Clothes Festival also includes sending winter clothes made of five-colored paper to express descendants' commemoration of their ancestors.

There is still a legend in Dafeng, Jiangsu Province. The legend goes like this: Once upon a time there was a cowherd who was hacked to death by the landlord because he resisted the landlord. His blood dyed the rice scattered on the ground red. That day was the first day of October. Since then, the poor have eaten red bean rice on the first day of October to commemorate him. There is a nursery rhyme to prove it: "On the morning of October, watch the cowboy run home; if he refuses to leave, the landlord will slap you three times with his plow and a thin knife."What to eat on the Cold Clothes Festival - Noodles <br /> On October 1st, not only do people send winter clothes to the deceased, but the living also have to carry out some traditional activities that symbolize winter. In order to improve their living standards, people in mountainous areas began to eat buckwheat noodles and oat noodles. The custom of eating noodles during the Cold Clothes Festival has a long history. Eating a bowl of nutritious noodles at noon in winter is a good choice. For those who have a lot of social engagements, it is best to eat a bowl of Yangchun noodles after drinking. It can not only help to sober up, but also nourish the stomach and body. What to eat on Cold Clothes Festival - Dumplings <br /> There is a saying in Luoyang: "October 1st, oily." This means that on October 1st, people cook and fry food, chop meat, make dumplings, and prepare food for offering to their ancestors. Huantai residents mostly use "fried stuffed food" to worship their ancestors. Usually, dumpling fillings include both meat and vegetarian ingredients. This reasonable nutritional combination can play a role in nourishing the body and maintaining health. In addition to the necessary meat and vegetables, seasonings such as garlic can also help improve the body's resistance. What to eat on Cold Clothes Festival - eating glutinous rice cake "On the first day of the tenth month of the lunar calendar, glutinous rice cakes are cooked." This is a Hakka proverb, which means that every household will make glutinous rice cakes on the first day of the tenth month of the lunar calendar every year. The first day of October coincides with the completion of the autumn harvest. The hardworking Hakka people will grind the newly harvested glutinous rice into powder, knead the paste and steam it. They will use the glutinous rice as the skin and add peanuts, sesame seeds, sugar and other fillings to make the festive food "Ciba" to comfort the whole family and celebrate the harvest. |
