Duck means “pressure”, which means to suppress ghosts. Moreover, duck claws are shaped like rakes, which can easily scratch the clothes of ghosts (probably because they are afraid that the ghosts will accumulate bad grudges and refuse to return to their original place). Another saying is that it is said that deceased ancestors will return home to visit relatives on the Ghost Festival and have to cross the Naihe Bridge, but they cannot cross without a boat. Therefore, the living people would send some ducks down so that the ducks could swim and carry them back. Over time, this became a tradition of eating ducks during the Ghost Festival.

Those of the same generation eat fish-shaped flower steamed buns, which means abundance every year. And the elders eat human-shaped flower steamed buns, which are dough figurines, which means a large family with many children and grandchildren, and a long life.DumplingsOn the Ghost Festival in Tiantai, Taizhou City, Zhejiang Province, people eat dumplings. It is said that dumplings were invented by Jigong when he was at Guoqing Temple. He saw a lot of leftovers from every meal, so to avoid waste, he wrapped the leftovers in fried rolls and saved them for the next meal. Therefore, eating dumplings has a profound meaning of being kind, diligent and thrifty, and having surpluses every year. To make dumpling rolls, first fry the filling and set aside. Common fillings include pork, pork liver, shredded egg, tofu skin, winter bamboo shoots, bean flour, celery, bean sprouts, kelp, dried fish, etc. Then add the flour prepared in advance to the "griddle" and spread it into a thin round skin (Hu Latai skin).
