Where is Suzhou Fuyang Festival?

Suzhou Fuyang Festival is in Suzhou Industrial Park.

Fuyang Festival, as its name implies, is to eat mutton after summer, which also breaks the traditional concept of "supplementing in winter" and "eating sheep in autumn" in Suzhou. However, Xuzhou and its surrounding areas have a long history of "eating sheep in dog days", which can be traced back to the Yao and Shun period at the earliest. Today, there is still a saying among the people that "a bowl of mutton soup can be eaten without a prescription from a doctor".

By the time of Peng Zu, Xuzhou had already had the general custom of eating sheep, and Peng Zu also created the delicious food of "sheep hiding fish". In view of the culture of eating sheep, it is recorded in Hanshu that "Tian Jia works hard, hides wax when he is old, cooks sheep and shoots lambs, and strives for wine to help himself". Before the Song Dynasty, the court banquets were mainly mutton. In the Yuan Dynasty, mutton occupied a dominant position in court banquets, accounting for two-thirds of all dishes. The Fuyang Festival we saw today is a festival with Peng Zu cultural connotation, which was created on the basis of Xuzhou folk food customs. ?
