Why do you want to eat ducks in July?

Before planting rice in rural areas of Guangxi, every household bought 10 ducks to raise. After cutting rice, ducks can eat millet and small animals that fall in the field, reducing costs. When planting rice in the second season, farmers began to kill ducks for the festival in order to reward themselves. As time goes on, people are used to eating ducks on this day.

The Mid-Autumn Festival coincides with the duck season, which is just used for sacrifice. In the past, people began to raise ducks in spring, that is, in March and April; About four or five months later, that is, the Mid-Autumn Festival, it is the season for ducks to grow. Because the ancient people lived in poverty, they were only willing to kill ducks on festivals. So every household will kill ducks to eat on Halloween, and it has formed a tradition over time.
