Excuse me, Xianyou, there is a custom of eating glutinous rice balls and going to the grave on the solstice in winter. What does Shao Wu eat on the solstice in winter?

On the solstice of winter, Shaowu people will make meatballs, which are called making love back to meatballs.

When making rice paste, you need to add a lot of powder burned by Artemisia argyi leaves, and then rub it into black balls.

Although wormwood balls are dark in color, they are not unpalatable. They have the effects of warming qi and blood and dispelling cold and dampness, so they are seasonal foods.

Shaowu is a mountainous area. Daylily grows in Shan Ye, also known as daylily.

This kind of wild vegetable is fresh and tender, and it is rich in essential nutrients such as pollen, sugar, protein, vitamin C, calcium, fat, carotene and amino acids.

Its carotene content is even several times higher than that of tomatoes. It is a good product for strengthening the brain and resisting aging. Has the effects of clearing away heat, promoting diuresis, detoxicating, relieving swelling, nourishing blood, calming liver, promoting diuresis and promoting lactation.

Generally, villagers in Shaowu will make it into dried daylily and eat it all year round.

Historically, Shao Wu was also called Qiaochuan and Qiaozhe. There is Qiaolan Mountain in the west of the city, and now there are two village names: Shangqiaolan and Xiaqiaolan.

There is a local river called Qiaoxi; Flowing from the north of the county, the north gate is called Qiaoximen.
