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”. Among them, Bailu Chicken is the most famous, which was created by Zheng Dashui, the imperial chef during the Xuantong period of the Qing Dynasty. Later it was passed on to Xiweishun, a famous halal restaurant in Beijing. Later, the late famous chef Yang Yonghe brought this dish to Hongbinlou Muslim Restaurant, where it became the restaurant's signature dish.
With the arrival of the White Dew solar term, the temperature drops rapidly and many places begin to enter a rainy weather pattern. At this time, the human body's health care should follow the principle of nourishing yin and qi and preventing autumn dryness. Green tea, rice wine, longan and sweet potatoes are all suitable foods for the occasion, and the extremely delicious White Dew chicken is indispensable. Bailu is the season when colds are prevalent. For healthy people, drinking more chicken soup can enhance their immunity and keep the flu virus out of the cabinet. For patients who have been infected with the influenza virus, drinking more chicken soup can help relieve symptoms such as nasal congestion and cough caused by the cold.
