Bailu wine is made from glutinous rice, sorghum and other grains. It has a slightly sweet taste and is used to entertain guests. It is also 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. Taihu Lake Area: Offering sacrifices to King Yu The White Dew season is when the people of Taihu Lake offer sacrifices to King Yu. King Yu is the legendary flood control hero Dayu, and the fishermen on the shores of Taihu Lake call him the "Water Bodhisattva." Every year on the eighth day of the first lunar month, Qingming Festival, the seventh day of the seventh lunar month and the White Dew Festival, incense ceremonies to worship King Yu are held here. Among them, the Qingming Festival and the White Dew Festival in spring and autumn are the largest and last for a week. Wenzhou: Celebrating the White Dew Festival 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”. Suzhou: Eating eels Eels are the most plump during the White Dew period, and it is the best time to eat them. Therefore, there is a saying in Suzhou that “White Dew Eels and Frosted Crabs”. Eat fresh eel and white radish. Eel is rich in nutrients, and white radish has the effect of "digesting food and harmonizing the stomach, and removing evil heat". The two complement each other when cooked together. Shandong: Pushing swallow car In Tancheng County, Shandong Province, there is a traditional custom among the people that "when the White Dew comes, children push swallow carts and run". Every family makes a small swallow cart that makes a pleasant sound, and the children push the swallow carts and run to keep warm, which can enhance their physical fitness. Fuzhou: Eating longan Eating longan on the day of Bailu has a miraculous effect of nourishing the body. Eating a longan on this day is equivalent to eating a chicken. It sounds exaggerated, but longan itself has many functions such as invigorating qi and spleen, nourishing blood and calming the mind, moisturizing the skin and beautifying. It can also treat anemia, insomnia, neurasthenia and many other diseases. Moreover, the longans before Bailu are large, with small cores, sweet taste and good taste, so eating longan on Bailu is the best. Nanjing: Drink Bailu Tea Old Nanjing people are very fond of "White Dew Tea". The tea trees at this time have gone through the scorching heat of summer, and the period around White Dew is the best time for its growth. 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. Furthermore, the spring tea stored at home has been almost "consumed", and the Bailu tea is just coming in time, so around the Bailu season, some tea drinkers will ask others to buy some Bailu tea. A review of the customs that will bring good luck to Bailu in 2022WorshipThe main gods worshipped on the day of Bailu are the land god, door god and kitchen god. The ancients’ rituals of worshipping gods were very complicated. Today we can simplify it and still achieve the same beautiful idea of worshiping God as long as we get to the essence of it. After getting up in the morning on the day of Bailu, I mopped the floor in my living room and kitchen and cleaned the door. In this way, one purpose of worshipping the three gods is achieved. Get rid of bad luck Especially in the northern regions, there is already dew by the time of Bailu. The ancients emphasized that on the day of White Dew, one should pat one's forehead with dew. Of course, there will not be dew in the southern region, so on this day you can give the child some red ink and put a dot on his forehead to make the child more prosperous. Adults can take some tea and pat their foreheads on this day. These are some good ways to get rid of bad luck during the White Dew Festival. |
