The custom of eating pancakes on the third day of March originated from the people of Tongan. According to legend, after Zheng Chenggong recovered Taiwan, his son Zheng Jing continued to fight against the Qing army and sent troops to attack the Qing army many times in southern Fujian. The Qing army's stubborn resistance caused heavy casualties among the people. Therefore, the common people at that time made pancakes to sacrifice to their deceased relatives and friends. Later, after the tradition was passed down, people used pancakes to sacrifice to their ancestors on the third day of the third month of the lunar calendar. 2. Five-color glutinous rice Five-color glutinous rice is also called "black rice", which is a traditional food in the Zhuang area. The Zhuang people regard the five-color glutinous rice as a symbol of good luck and a good harvest, so during the agricultural holiday on March 3, they make five-color glutinous rice and pray for a good harvest. 3. Eating chicken-arrow vine is a custom of the local people in Beihai, Guangxi. The chicken-arrow vine noodles made by mixing the leaves with rice and grinding them into powder are a favorite snack of the locals. According to legend, the third day of the third lunar month is the birthday of Huangdi, the ancestor of the Chinese nation, so the people of Beihai use this to commemorate this great man. 4. Artemisia cake The third day of March was called "Shangsi Festival" in ancient times, and is also called "Ghost Festival" among the people. It is said that on this day, people's souls are easily confused by wandering ghosts. The simple and honest villagers believe that they must eat this kind of wormwood cake with wild flavor to "stick" the soul to the soul, prevent it from being invaded by evil, and stay healthy and not get sick. This beautiful wish has been passed down from generation to generation, allowing this thousand-year-old custom to continue to this day and evolve into a local custom of praying for good health. 5. Shepherd's purse boiled eggs. The homonym of shepherd's purse is "gathering wealth", so according to folk legend, people cook a big pot of shepherd's purse and boiled eggs when offering sacrifices to their ancestors on the third day of March, and eating them will bring good fortune. 6. Wu Mi Rice Wu Mi Rice is from the She ethnic group. It is said that in the Tang Dynasty, Lei Wanxing, a hero of the She ethnic group, led the rebel army to fight against the encirclement and suppression by government troops. They ate Wu Ren fruit to satisfy their hunger and the morale of the army was greatly boosted. They successfully broke through the encirclement on March 3 and won victory after victory. Therefore, in order to commemorate the event, the She people eat black rice on the third day of each year. 7. Zhuang Zongzi Zhuang Zongzi originated in the Song Dynasty and was called "Feng Mo". It is a very large rice dumpling. On New Year's Eve, the girls would take the cooked "Feng Mo" out of the iron pot to prepare for consumption in the first month of the year. On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, married girls go back to their parents' home to eat Fengmo rice. Their parents open the Fengmo and share it with the whole family. Children must finish eating the Fengmo to show their filial piety to their parents and pray for their parents' longevity. The above is about the traditional eating habits of some regions during the March 3rd Festival. I hope it can help everyone better understand our country’s traditional culture. |
