What are the characteristics of folk traditions when it is too cold in Jiangsu?

1. There is a traditional dietary custom of "191 chickens" among the people in Jiangsu. Although the severe cold solar term is around September of the lunar calendar, Nanjing people still want to drink chicken soup. Roast chicken must be cooked with Laofu chicken, or stewed separately, or stewed with ginseng beard, glutinous rice and black fungus. Chicken soup is delicious and nutritious, which is very suitable for drinking in winter. In southern China, it is called the custom of eating glutinous rice. Cold weather is very cold, glutinous rice is a high-calorie food, which has a good effect of keeping out the cold and keeping warm. The great cold is generally "49". At this time, Nanjing people will also stew the old hen soup, and when they stew, they will also add medlar and black fungus to make the chicken soup more delicious and smooth, and the whole body is warm.

Abundant food refers to the ritual activities of the god of wealth twice a month in traditional customs. In our countryside, the local god of wealth is the landlord, and the villagers believe that the landlord can bless the prosperity of the enterprise, and the wedding is crowded with tourists. Therefore, on the sixteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, people will offer meat sacrifices such as chicken, pork and fish to worship the land god. Generally speaking, every year on the second day of the second lunar month, "tooth-making" is commonly known as "head tooth" and on the sixteenth of the twelfth lunar month is called "tail tooth". In ancient China, after "teething", it was always necessary to distribute and eat the meat offered by the land gods, commonly known as "toothache".

3. The arrival of severe cold solar terms indicates that we are not far from the traditional festival Spring Festival in China. Although it is the off-season, every household is very busy. People are busy preparing for the Spring Festival, rushing to celebrate the Spring Festival, buying new year's goods and writing Spring Festival couplets. It is also necessary to prepare all kinds of sacrificial supplies, clean things, expose old cloth and new ones, pickle sausages and bacon, or boil chicken, duck, fish and other new year dishes. In cold winter, the traditional custom of eating 19 1 chicken is still respected by many families. Most people in Nanjing choose old hens and stew them alone or add ginseng, medlar and black fungus. Drinking a bowl of chicken soup in cold winter is really a pleasure. In addition, when cooking soup, try not to uncover the lid, otherwise it will be easy to get angry and affect the taste of chicken soup.
