The Fortune Teller website has compiled a large amount of information about the festival for your reference.What is the auspiciousness or inauspiciousness of the Great Cold in 2018?What are the customs and habits during the Great Cold?Eat Laba Porridge <br /> 15 days after Xiaohan comes Dahan, the last of the 24 solar terms in the year. Although the weather is cold at this time, it is almost spring, so it will not be as cold as during the period from heavy snow to the winter solstice. At this time of year, people begin to get busy cleaning out the old and decorating with the new, pickling New Year's dishes, and preparing New Year's goods, because the most important festival for the Chinese people - the Spring Festival - is coming. There is also a very important day for people in the north - Laba, which is the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month. On this day, people use grains, peanuts, chestnuts, red dates, lotus seeds, etc. to cook a pot of sweet and delicious Laba porridge, which is an indispensable staple food for people during the Chinese New Year.The Great Cold welcomes the New Year <br /> The Great Cold solar term often coincides with the end of the year. Therefore, during this solar term, in addition to doing farm work in accordance with the solar terms, people also have to rush around for the New Year - going to the New Year market, buying New Year's goods, writing Spring Festival couplets, preparing various sacrificial offerings, sweeping the house, getting rid of the old and bringing in the new, preparing New Year's goods, pickling various sausages and bacon, or frying and cooking various New Year dishes such as chicken, duck, fish and meat. At the same time, people worship their ancestors and various gods, praying for good weather and good harvests in the coming year. In the old days, during the Great Cold season, people could often be seen rushing to buy sesame straw on the streets. Because "sesame seeds bloom higher and higher", on New Year's Eve, people sprinkle sesame straw on the road for children to crush. The homophonic pronunciation of "broken" and "year" means auspiciousness, and the homophonic pronunciation of "broken" and "year" means "peace every year", which is to wish for good luck in the new year. This also makes the festival of Dahan, which drives away evil and welcomes good fortune, more meaningful. Drink chicken soup <br /> During the cold winter season, Nanjing people's daily diet includes more stews and soups. The Great Cold falls around the 49th day of the lunar calendar. The traditional custom of eating one chicken for every 19th day of the lunar calendar is still respected by many families. Nanjing people mostly choose old hens, either stewing them alone or adding ginseng, wolfberries, black fungus, etc. Drinking chicken soup in the cold winter is really a pleasure. In the twelfth lunar month, old Nanjing people still like to make soup. Soups are available in all regions and the cooking methods are different. For example, soups in the north tend to be thick and sticky, while soups in the south tend to be light and delicate. Nanjing soups take the best of both north and south flavors, being neither too thick or light, nor too salty or sweet. Another reason why people in Nanjing like to eat soup in winter is that the ingredients are easy to get. They can be simple or complex, expensive or cheap. Minced meat, tofu, yam, fungus, sweet potato, pickled mustard tuber, etc. can all be made into a pot of hot soup. Add some coriander and sprinkle some white pepper powder, and you will feel warm all over after eating it. |
