Spring plate: This is one of the eating customs in spring. Spring plate, also known as "spiced plate", is finely cut from five kinds of spicy lettuce. It is reported that eating five kinds of spices (five kinds of spices: garlic, leek, mustard and coriander) on the first day of the Six Dynasties made people angry after eating them in spring. Now Yangzhou people also eat five kinds of condiments in spring: fresh onion, leek, garlic sprout, radish and coriander. In the early Tang dynasty, cakes and lettuce were put on a plate, which was called spring plate. They are also called Pan Xin because of their relationship with the Five-Heart Disc. In the Song Dynasty, they were called spring cakes, and now they are also called pancakes, lotus leaf cakes and chip cakes.

Spring Festival: Yuan's Eating consists of more than ten kinds of raw materials, such as noodles, mutton, tripe and lung, egg pancakes, ginger, mushrooms, Polygonum hydropiper buds and rouge. In the Ming and Qing dynasties, besides cakes and lettuce, they also ate radishes, indicating that they could get rid of the spring sleep. The whole new tasting activity is called "Biting Spring".
