What are the seasonal delicacies of Qingming Festival in different places?
Chinese people like to label different countries. For example, India is a nation of cheaters; Russia is a nation of fighters; and we ourselves call ourselves a nation of foodies. The reason, of course, is that we have so many delicious foods, and each one has its own unique cooking method. The food is also very different in different seasons. Spring is a great time full of energy, with everything reviving and full of vitality. Please come to the Fortune Teller website to learn more details about the second month of the lunar calendar in 2018!What are the seasonal delicacies of Qingming Festival in different places?Because the Cold Food Festival and the Qingming Festival are combined into one, some places still retain the habit of eating cold food on Qingming Festival. In Shandong, people in Jimo eat eggs and cold steamed buns, while people in Laiyang, Zhaoyuan and Changdao eat eggs and cold sorghum rice. It is said that otherwise they will be hit by hail. In Tai'an, people eat cold pancakes wrapped with raw bitter vegetables, which is said to brighten the eyes. The custom of banning fire on the day before Qingming Festival is still retained in the Jinzhong area.In many places, after the sacrificial ceremony, the sacrificial food is shared and eaten. When people in southern Shanxi celebrate Qingming Festival, they have the habit of steaming big steamed buns with white flour, stuffing walnuts, dates and beans in the middle, and then rolling them into the shape of a dragon with an egg stuck in the middle of the dragon's body, which is called "Zi Fu". A large "Zi Fu" should be steamed to symbolize the happiness of family reunion. When visiting the graves, the total "Zi Fu" is offered to the ancestral spirits, and the whole family shares it after the tomb sweeping is completed. According to an old Shanghai custom, steamed cakes and pastries used for sacrifices are pierced with willow twigs, dried and stored. On the day of the Beginning of Summer, they are fried in oil and given to children to eat. It is said that eating them will prevent summer sickness. In some areas, there is a custom of eating Qingtuan during the Qingming Festival. Qingtuan is also called Qingming cake, cotton vegetable steamed rice cake, cissus cake, Qingming cake, mugwort cake, mugwort cake, Qingming fruit, bovine cake, Qingming cake, mugwort cake, mugwort cake, Qingming dumplings, warm mushroom buns and so on. Pound the brome grass juice and glutinous rice together to blend the juice and rice flour. Then wrap it with red bean paste, jujube paste and other fillings, use reed leaves as the bottom, and put it in the steamer. The steamed green rice dumplings are bright green in color and fragrant, and are the most distinctive seasonal food for the local Qingming Festival. Some families in Shanghai also like to eat peach blossom porridge during the Qingming Festival, and like to use knife fish during tomb sweeping and family banquets. In Huzhou, Zhejiang, every family makes rice dumplings on Qingming Festival. They can be used as offerings to graves or as dry food for outings. As the saying goes, "The rice dumplings during Qingming Festival are firm and solid." Around the Qingming Festival, snails are plump and strong. As the saying goes, "A snail on Qingming Festival is as good as a goose." Farmers have the habit of eating snails on Qingming Festival. On this day, they use a needle to pick out the snail meat and cook it, which is called "tiaoqing". After eating, the snail shells are thrown onto the roof. It is said that the rolling sound on the roof tiles can scare away mice, which is beneficial for raising silkworms after Qingming Festival. On the Qingming Festival, a community banquet is held. People from the same clan temple have dinner together. Families without ancestral halls usually have dinner together with the descendants of the same great-great-grandfather. The dishes for the community wine party are mainly fish and meat, the vegetarian dishes are mainly tofu and vegetables, and the wine is mainly home-brewed sweet white wine. In Heshan Town, Tongxiang City, Zhejiang Province, there is a saying that "Qingming Festival is as important as Chinese New Year". On Qingming Festival night, it is important for the whole family to have a reunion dinner. The following traditional dishes are indispensable on the dinner table: fried snails, glutinous rice embedded in lotus root, sprouted beans, amaranth, etc. These dishes are all related to silkworm breeding. Throwing leftover snail shells into the house is said to scare away mice by the sound, and caterpillars will burrow into the shells to build nests and no longer come out to harass silkworms. Eating lotus root means wishing silkworms to produce more silk that is longer and better. Eating sprouted beans is a good omen for getting rich. Eating Malantou, a fresh vegetable, is because its name means "green", which matches the "green" in "Qingming". |
