I want to ask 24 solar terms what to eat in old Beijing.

Every year in beginning of autumn, according to the custom of old Beijing, we eat meat, which means "pasting autumn fertilizer". When old Beijing sticks autumn fat, the favorite thing is the old-fashioned sauce elbow.

There used to be a saying in old Beijing that "winter solstice wonton, summer solstice noodle" ~ You already know it ~ But if you pay attention to tradition, every family should pack wonton and steamed rice cakes the night before winter solstice.

Since the Qing Dynasty, old Beijing has had the dietary customs of "Jiujiu Hotpot" and "Jiujiu Wine and Meat". On the first day of Jiujiu, from September 19 to September 1999, people always eat hot pot. Some people meet nine people drinking and eating meat together on the ninth day, which is called "Jiujiujiu Meat" in old Beijing. Nine dishes and bowls should be set during the dinner, and nine flowers (tableware) should be used to sit at the table when serving, in order to get the meaning of "nine years to dispel cold". In the old society, it was called "meeting to dispel cold", so the solstice in winter was also called "festival to dispel cold".

At the vernal equinox, Beijingers pay attention to eating spring pancake rolls and cooking, which is elegant and beautiful. The mung bean sprouts are as white as silver, and the omelet is golden, with shredded lean meat, vermicelli, leeks and spinach, which can be described as "full of gold and silver".

Spring cake with shredded onion with croissants, topped with sweet noodle sauce from Liubiju, and served with "zygote dish". That's the seasonal food in old Beijing. Old Beijing pays the most attention to rolling into a tube and eating it from beginning to end.

And eat spring rolls and bite radishes ~

Mid-Autumn Festival ~ moon cakes, pomegranates and dates

Eat chicken in summer.

Too much ~ that's all I found ~
