4. Tail luxury food: Tail teeth originated from the custom of offering sacrifices to "teeth". The so-called second day of February is the first tooth. From now on, every second and sixteenth day is the "tooth", which happens to be the tail tooth on the 16th day of the twelfth lunar month. For example, on February 2nd, Weiya has spring cakes (called Runbing in the south). On this day, buyers and sellers will hold a banquet, and boiled chicken is an essential dish at the banquet. Today, rich food is no longer held in most places during the severe cold, but there are still some ethnic minority areas that maintain the tradition of rich food.
