Eat White Dew The ancients emphasized eating Bailu on the day of Bailu, which means eating Bailu. The Book of Changes believes that the sky has its surface and the earth has its shape. That is, if it manifests itself in the sky, there will be a shape on the ground, corresponding to each other. Therefore, in ancient times, there was a custom of eating white food on the day of Bailu. Eat sweet potatoes In Wencheng, people believe that eating sweet potatoes during the White Dew Festival can prevent stomach acid after eating shredded sweet potatoes or shredded sweet potatoes with rice throughout the year. Therefore, farmers used to eat sweet potatoes during the White Dew Festival. According to traditional Chinese medicine, sweet potatoes are sweet and mild in nature, and can nourish the spleen and replenish qi. "Compendium of Materia Medica" records that sweet potatoes have the effects of "replenishing deficiency, strengthening qi and strength, strengthening the stomach, and strengthening kidney yin", making people "live longer and have fewer diseases". White Dew Season CustomsLongan must be eaten during Bailu in Fuzhou <br /> Because longan has many functions such as invigorating qi and spleen, nourishing blood and calming nerves, moisturizing skin and beautifying, and longan before Bailu is large, with small core and good sweet taste, so eating longan during Bailu is the best.Old Nanjing people are very fond of "Bai Lu Tea" The tea trees have just gone through the scorching heat of summer, and the period around White Dew is the best time for them to grow. Bailu tea is neither as fresh and tender as spring tea, nor as dry and bitter as summer tea. Instead, it has a unique sweet and refreshing fragrance and is especially loved by veteran tea drinkers. Old Nanjing residents from southern Jiangsu and Zhejiang also have the custom of brewing Bailu rice wine . Bailu wine is made from glutinous rice, sorghum and other grains, and has a slightly sweet taste, so it is called "Bailu rice wine". This kind of wine is warm and contains heat, which helps to dissipate the cold. Until the 1930s and 1940s, there was still fresh Bailu rice wine available in hotels in Nanjing, but it gradually disappeared. |
