Sesame Cake <br /> Sichuan people celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival by eating moon cakes, making rice cakes, killing ducks, eating sesame cakes, honey cakes, etc. In some places, orange lanterns are lit and hung at the door to show celebration. There are also children who stick incense sticks on grapefruits and dance along the streets, which is called "dancing with shooting star incense balls". During the Mid-Autumn Festival in Jiading County, people worship the land god, perform variety shows, perform vocal music, and display cultural relics, which is called "watching the show."2. Reunion bun <br /> In the Xi'an area of Shaanxi, every Mid-Autumn Festival, every local family makes a bun and the whole family eats one bun together, which is called "reunion bun". The steamed bun has two layers, top and bottom, with sesame seeds in the middle. A circle is made on the top of the steamed bun with a large bowl, symbolizing the Mid-Autumn Night. A "stone" is carved in the middle of the circle, with a "little monkey" eating peaches standing on it. After the steamed bun is cooked in the pan, it is cut into pointed tooth shapes, with one tooth given to each family member. If a family member goes out for a short period of time, one tooth is left behind. For a married girl, her parents’ home will send steamed buns to her door to show that they are not forgetting the family reunion. 3. Eat crabs <br /> The hairy crab is an indispensable dish for people in Jiangsu and Zhejiang during the Mid-Autumn Festival. One crab per person, split and eaten with ginger and vinegar, is the best way to kill time. However, hairy crabs are cold in nature, so they should be eaten with some rice wine to warm the stomach, and then drinking a cup of ginger tea after eating, which is good for health. 4. Ciba <br /> Ciba is a token of good fortune and a sacred food. During the Mid-Autumn Festival in August, people pound ciba, eat ciba and watch the moon, which symbolizes the unity, happiness and good fortune of every family. The stickiness of glutinous rice cake symbolizes family harmony and unity; the sweetness of glutinous rice cake symbolizes sweet and happy life. In some places in Sichuan, people add sweet osmanthus to glutinous rice cake and make it into laurel glutinous rice cake, which is then dipped in fried soybean flour and sugar and eaten. It has a light, elegant, sweet and refreshing taste and is unique in its flavor. 5. Wheat Arrow <br /> Speaking of Shandong Mid-Autumn Festival delicacies, wheat arrow is a kind of seasonal food eaten in Jimo during the Mid-Autumn Festival. It is first made by spreading white flour into pancakes, then adding meat or vegetarian fillings, and then rolling them into tubes with sorghum stalks and steaming them. It is then eaten with seasonings and tastes very delicious. It is said that on the Mid-Autumn Festival, Qingdao people not only have a good Mid-Autumn dinner, but also improve their breakfast and lunch. They usually steam buns and dumplings to improve the meals for the whole family. Wheat Arrow is one of them. 6. Water chestnuts <br /> Eating water chestnuts during the Mid-Autumn Festival is said to help children grow up smart and clever. Most ways to eat water chestnuts are to boil them in clean water (or salt water), then peel them and eat them as snacks. You can also add shelled water chestnuts to rice and cook them into salty white porridge. After eating sweet mooncakes, drinking a bowl of water chestnut porridge can remove a lot of greasiness from your stomach. 7. Osmanthus Duck <br /> People in the Jiangnan area have a variety of customs during the Mid-Autumn Festival. In addition to eating mooncakes during the Mid-Autumn Festival, Nanjing people must also eat the famous Jinling dish, osmanthus duck. "Osmanthus Duck" is available on the market when the osmanthus fragrance fills the air. It is fat but not greasy and tastes delicious. After drinking, you must eat a small piece of sweet taro, drizzled with cinnamon syrup, which is simply delicious. "Guijiang" is named after Qu Yuan's "Chu Ci·Shao Siming" "I help the north to drink guijiang." Osmanthus syrup, also known as sugar osmanthus, is picked around the Mid-Autumn Festival and pickled with sugar and sour plums. The women in the south of the Yangtze River are skillful and can turn the objects described in poems into delicacies on the table. Nanjing people call the moon-watching with family "celebrating reunion", the gathering for drinking "full moon", and the outing to the streets "walking the moon". |
