folk culture

Jia Qinglu in Lu Gu in the Qing Dynasty has the saying that rural people use herbs to make wine, which is called "winter brewing", and it has the names of "autumn dew white", "Du Maochai", "leaning against the wall" and "bamboo leaves clear". The creator of October, named "October White", composed songs with white flour and soaked white rice with spring water, named "Three Liquor".

Winter brewing began in the beginning of winter, when autumn grain has been dried and put into storage, and there are enough raw materials for brewing. The low temperature in winter can also inhibit the growth of miscellaneous bacteria in the brewing process. At present, there is still the custom of brewing "Xiaoxue wine" with clear spring water in the area of Changxing, Zhejiang Province.

In Chaoshan, Guangdong, Xiaoxue Solar Festival has such a dietary custom-a family happily eats a bowl of "boiled rice" with soft grains, rich auxiliary materials and rich flavor. This dietary custom has existed since ancient times.

As the saying goes in Chaoshan area, "Eat pot rice on October 10th", and early October is the time when new rice comes into the market. Coupled with the white radish, chestnut and fresh pork in the season, a simple and delicious iron pot rice was made.
