Do we still eat Tangyuan during the Lantern Festival? Traditional food that you must eat during the Lantern Festival
Introduction: We all know that glutinous rice balls are a traditional food that must be eaten during the Lantern Festival, but we cannot think that glutinous rice balls are the only delicacy during the Lantern Festival. There are some traditional foods during the Lantern Festival that you may not know about. Next, I will introduce them to you in detail! During the first month of the lunar calendar, you will have a good year. The first month is the most important month of spring. Mr. Shui Mo will share with you some knowledge about January.A must-eat food during the Lantern Festival: dumplingsThe fifteenth day of the first lunar month is here. People in the north have the habit of eating dumplings. People in Henan have the Lantern Festival custom and tradition of "flat dumplings on the fifteenth and round dumplings on the sixteenth", so dumplings should be eaten on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. Dumplings are a folk food with a long history and are very popular among the people. There is a folk saying that "nothing tastes better than dumplings."A must-eat food for the Lantern Festival: Date CakePeople in western Henan like to eat date cakes during the Lantern Festival, as they represent good luck and fortune. Date cake was originally a royal pastry of the Qing Dynasty. It has a fragrant flavor and is sweet in the mouth. It contains nutrients such as vitamin C, protein, calcium, iron, vitamins, etc. It can not only nourish the spleen and stomach, invigorate qi and promote salivation, but also protect the liver, increase muscle strength, nourish the skin and prevent aging.A must-eat food during the Lantern Festival: sticky cakeSticky cake is also known as rice cake. In addition to Yuanxiao and noodles, people also eat sticky cakes during the Lantern Festival. Sun Simiao, a famous doctor in the Tang Dynasty, wrote in "Prescriptions for Emergencies: Food Therapy" that "Rice is sweet, slightly cold, non-toxic, can remove heat and benefit Qi." After the Tang Dynasty, there were also records of eating cakes on the Lantern Festival in the Yuan Dynasty.A must-eat food during the Lantern Festival: ZaotangPeople in Taizhou eat fermented rice soup after watching the lanterns on the 14th day of the first lunar month every year. The rice soup is made by stir-frying shredded pork, shredded winter bamboo shoots, shiitake mushrooms, black fungus, fresh dragonfly, dried tofu, fried dough sticks, Sichuan bean curd, spinach, etc., then adding a little rice flour and cooking it into a salty paste. The fermented rice soup drunk on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month is sweet, made with sweet potato starch or lotus root starch, lotus seeds, sweet dates, longans, etc.A must-eat food for the Lantern Festival: Noodle lanternsWhen talking about the customs of the Lantern Festival, people generally think of eating rice dumplings, appreciating lanterns, and guessing lantern riddles. However, there is another custom that has been passed down since the Han Dynasty, which is lighting bean flour lanterns on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. The lights of the Lantern Festival are auspicious lights that can drive away evil spirits and cure diseases. Therefore, people make bean flour lanterns on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month to pray for family happiness and prosperity in the new year.A must-eat food for the Lantern Festival: bean doughPeople in Kunming like to eat bean dough. The method of making it is similar to that of Yuanxiao. The beans are fried and then ground into flour. After being rolled into balls, they are boiled in water. It tastes good.Summary: After reading the introduction in the above article, do you have a new understanding of the Lantern Festival?
