What does Quzhou White Deer in Zhejiang eat?

White dew, yin is getting heavier, and dew is suspected to be white, so it is named white dew. There is a great temperature difference between day and night in the Millennium. What to eat in the Millennium? Fujian folks believe that eating an longan on the day of the Millennium is equivalent to eating a chicken. In fact, longan itself has the effects of invigorating qi, invigorating spleen, nourishing blood, calming nerves, moistening skin and caring skin, and the longan core before the Millennium is sweet and delicious, so eating longan in the Millennium is better; Wenzhou, Zhejiang and other places have had the custom of Millennium Festival. In Cangnan, Pingyang and other places, people collect "ten kinds of whites" on this day to stew black-bone white-haired chickens (ducks). It is said that eating it can nourish the body and dispel the atmosphere. In the past, farmers used to eat sweet potatoes in Bailuyuan.

Bailu tea: Old Nanjing people like Bailu tea very much. At this time, the tea tree has experienced the summer heat, and it is an excellent period for its growth before and after the Millennium. Bailu tea is not as fresh and tender as spring tea, nor as dry and bitter as summer, but it has a unique sweet fragrance.

Bailu rice wine: Old Nanjing also has the custom of brewing Bailu rice wine, which comes from southern Jiangsu and Zhejiang. In the old society, every year, White Deer went to the countryside of Zhejiang, and every family made wine to entertain guests. Bailu wine is made from glutinous rice, sorghum and other grains, which is slightly sweet, so it is called "Bailu rice wine". Millennium is also the day when people in Taihu Lake offer sacrifices to Yu Wang, the "Waterway Bodhisattva". Every year, on the eighth day of the first month, Tomb-Sweeping Day, the seventh day of July and Bailuyuan, incense parties are held for Yu Wang, among which the Spring and Autumn Festival in Tomb-Sweeping Day and Bailuyuan is relatively large and lasts for one week. During the activity, "Fishing and Killing a Family" is a must-play project, which places people's hopes and yearning for a better life.
