Qiaoguo, also known as "Qiqiao Fruit", comes in many styles. The main ingredient of glutinous rice cake is oil flour and molasses. In "Dongjing Menghualu", it is called "Xiaoyaner" and "Fruit Food Patterns", and the patterns include Naxiang and Fangsheng. During the Song Dynasty, Qixi cookies were already sold on the streets. Nowadays, in Hangzhou, Ningbo, Wenzhou and other places in Zhejiang Province, people still make various small items with flour on the Chinese Valentine's Day, fry them in oil, and call them "Qiaoguo". In the evening, they would place glutinous rice cakes, lotus pods, white lotus roots, red water chestnuts, etc. in the clean courtyard, and family and friends would sit around them.Dexterous women can also sculpt various patterns related to the Qixi legend. In addition, the fruits and vegetables used when begging for cleverness can also vary in many ways. Those who are particular about it will also use the wooden mold of the "Qiaoguo Kazi" to make a variety of Qiaoguo, such as fish, peanuts, peaches, baskets, lotus pods, tigers, lions, etc. When making it, just pull the prepared dough into small pieces and stuff them into the mold. For small pieces, use the tip of your finger or the base of your palm to press them flat with the mold. Then grab one end with the small mold and the handle with the large mold, and knock the other end against the chopping board to make "Qiaoguo" dough in various shapes and with auspicious patterns printed on them. Then they can be eaten after being baked or fried. When eating, if you feel that the food is dry and greasy, you might as well drink a few sips of Wanglaoji, which will help prevent getting a sore throat. Eating noodles <br /> In addition, there is a custom of eating noodles on this day. This day is often associated with three miscellaneous solar terms other than the 24 solar terms in China. One miscellaneous solar term is the Three Fu, another is the Nine Days of Summer, and another is the Thunderstorm in the South. Everyone knows that dumplings are eaten on the first day of the dog days, and noodles are eaten on the second day. Moreover, eating noodles means increasing longevity. The taller the noodles are, the longer people live. There are also tributes to the Weaver Girl. Noodles can be made, but stretched noodles are the best. It symbolizes ingenuity and that your character will be flexible and adaptable in the future. Especially if you are a boy and you can stretch noodles for your husband, and it is tough, it means that you must also be tough when you go out and live your life, so that you can be successful in your career. The "husband" in "husband" is originally the character for "heaven" with its head sticking out. The husband is the sky and the wife is the earth. When the face is stretched out above the head, the sky becomes the husband, and he can make a career. In addition, when you succeed in life, you should also wish your mother-in-law and father-in-law good health and longevity. Broad beans <br /> Many people don’t know that the Chinese Valentine’s Day is also associated with sharing broad beans. Every year on the seventh day of the seventh lunar month, every household shares and eats broad beans, which is called "biting the ghost's head" and is meant to ward off evil spirits. "Sharing beans to establish a bond" is a unique custom of the Chinese Valentine's Day in Fuzhou. This custom originated in the suburbs and later spread to the city. During the festival, people in Fuzhou give broad beans to each other, and eat them while chatting under the moonlight on the night of the Chinese Valentine's Day to commemorate their relationship. The Chinese Valentine's Day has become a "bond-making festival" that promotes family harmony, friendships, and friendly neighborhood. On ordinary days, it is inevitable that there will be conflicts between children and neighbors, but with a little bit of broad beans, the resentment will disappear. Fruits <br /> The Qixi Festival is mainly about fruits, because fruits are harvested at this time, especially watermelon. And the most taboo thing at this time is not to eat pears. If people eat pears on this day, they will be further away from luck. So girls generally don't eat pears on this day. We set off peaches during the Chinese Valentine’s Day, and in the future when the Mid-Autumn Festival comes, we will set them off to offer to the Moon Goddess. In addition, at this time, just after the Dragon Boat Festival, there are still some leftover cherries, and people generally like to pick them. Why do people use cherries? May is the hot month, and after that, July becomes the month of separation. The hot summer comes again, diseases begin to spread, and there are many mosquitoes and flies. Cherries are like small lanterns, representing a prosperous life. Secondly, people also believe that when a hero comes, all demons and monsters will flee. There are also mulberries. Eating white mulberries symbolizes that from now until the weather gets cold, I won't be able to eat bugs when eating vegetables or fruits. If I eat black mulberries on this day, I won't eat fly poop. |
