Neutralization Culture of Yunqiu Mountain

Yunqiu was known as the North Top in ancient times, located in the north of Yujiang. The sacrifices of Zhenwu should be built on the Big Dipper, which is the celestial basis for the ancient people to set the north and south, delineate the four seasons, and make the calendar by dividing the festivals. It is a calendar for people not to violate the agricultural time, to comply with the laws of nature, and to live in harmony with heaven and earth. It is a witness to the mutual harmony between the ancient astronomical scientists and the development of agricultural production. The image of ghosts and snakes embracing is the god of reproduction of heaven and earth, symbolizing the spirit of heaven and earth, and the image of men and women embracing is the idol of induction and unity of heaven and man. Fossilized folklore of the Zhonghe culture. It is the duty of every cultural and heritage worker to interpret historical heritage with the viewpoint of historical materialism.

Yunqiu has the reputation of being the first resort of Hefen - belt in history, and the most beautiful peak of Gushu. Spring trees, summer forest verdant, autumn maple Dan dye, winter pine proud frost, four times the mountain flowers spit incense, perennial water gurgling, Buddhist temples and Taoist palaces built on the mountain. The Buddhist temples and Taoist palaces are built on the mountain. The shape is stacked five times, and the loss of the Huanwei Ming. Covering the cloud table, brilliant moon shining sun. Feather streams of the night and day step virtual, the sound of the bell heard, every two or three months, the migrants with the joy of the people in an endless stream, Velvet Feather worshipers drive full of road. For the unity of man and heaven in the masterpiece of the world, the perfect combination of humanistic landscape and natural landscape model. However, since the Japanese invasion of China, but became a monument destroyed by man-made disasters, Cuishan bald in the axe catty, the river clear flow broken, full of coal dust over the valley, coke ovens accounted for the good land, ten nine years of drought, so that people can not bear to see the scene. How to improve people's awareness of environmental protection, so that people maintain the ecological balance, do not eat the ancestors of the rice, the welfare of ten thousand years, with the organization of cultural festivals, publicity and ideas, improve the awareness of the Chinese and the fun, it should be a form of effective teaching.

Peace, democracy, *** life, unity, reconciliation, friendship, national peace *** place, is the mainstream of the world's development, national unity, national unity is the people of the country's *** same voice. The spirit of Zhonghe culture is also inherited and carried forward.

Promoting the national cultural heritage, inheritance of outstanding cultural traditions. Reconstruction of the new relationship between man and nature in harmony, promote social civilization and economic prosperity, for the future of Xiangning gongs, drums, is the party and the people give each Eyi children of the historical responsibility. Is the purpose of the significance of the significance of organizing the Chinese and Cultural Festival. Yunqiu Mountain landscape is beautiful, meteorological, cultural depth, long history. Specifically, it has the following characteristics.

One, ancient. The connotation of Yunqiu Mountain Zhonghe culture can be traced as far back as the Xia Dynasty. Legend has it that, thousands of years ago, Yunqiu Mountain is the summer pilgrimage to heaven's sacred mountain, so far the people mountaineering is still commonly known as the top. At the same time, Yunqiu Mountain is also a sacred place of fertility worship of the Xia people. Every year on the first day of February in the lunar calendar to open the door, to the first day of March to close the door, the month of mid-spring, the order will be men and women, so the time is also, the runners are not prohibited, the flow of people such as weaving, men and women love. It is beneficial to the reproduction of the population, but also related to the abundance of crops and the reproduction of birds and animals. Its commonly known as wild or put wild, in fact, is the matriarchal society to the patriarchal society during the transition of group marriage, promiscuous marriage and other phenomena dragged into the late a tail. Now retained in addition to the pagoda, sewing cliffs and other natural reproductive worship, there are whip poles, flower baskets, touch dolls and other ancient customs as evidence.

Two, uniqueness. About the origin of the festival, "Zhou Li - spring official Zongbo" said: witch in charge of the year purification, provocation bath, this is the earliest content related to it, so far Yunqiu Mountain in the festival still retains this form. Clearly designated as a neutralization festival is the Tang Dynasty Zhenyuan five years (790 years). On the 11th day of the first month of this year, Emperor Dezong said: ...... I think that spring is happening, waiting for the middle of the month, the hook buds are all over the place, heaven and earth are in harmony, so as to make it clear that it is suitable for all to flourish in the spring. From now on, February 1 for the Festival of Peace ....... On this day, people give each other the fruits and gourds in a green bag, which is called "dedicating the son". ...... Hundred officials into the book of agriculture, indicating that the service of this. From this we can see that the content of its activities and the summer people towards the top has many links, which is the fundamental reason why the Yunqushan Zhonghe Festival has been able to continue to this day. However, according to many historical records, Zhonghe Festival activities after the Tang is not raised, the later folk will be confused with the February 2 Dragon Heads Up, have called it the Qinglong Festival, the real Zhonghe Festival customs intact retained to date, I am afraid that only the Yunqushan one. Therefore, we say that Yunqiu Mountain is not only a living fossil of ancient rituals and fertility worship, but also a living fossil of Zhonghe Festival.

Three, inclusive. Yunqushan Zhonghe Festival continues to this day, covering the ancient and modern tolerance is particularly critical. Throughout the content of today's Zhonghe Festival, there is the ancient period of the Chao Xiang sacrifices to heaven, men and women carnival, fertility worship, but also in the Tang Dynasty when heaven and earth and the same, farming and praying for abundance and other Zhonghe Festival content. At the end of the Yuan and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the incorporation of Taoism injected fresh blood into the festival, and the worship of folk deities, such as the Goddess of Deliverance, the Land, and the Jade Emperor, made the festival more acceptable to the people, and the unity of the three religions was also manifested. To this day, it even incorporates the worship of the dead generals against the war. We can say this: Yunqushan Zhonghe Festival is like a trickling river, flowing from ancient times to today. Along the way, all the way to absorb, suitable for the time and order, attempt to the people's heart, wide acceptance of both, inclusive of thousands, ten thousand set of great success, a thousand years of immortality.

Four, extensive. A folk culture festival of the millennium flourished, will inevitably stem from the extensive participation of folk. History, Yunqiu Mountain in the Festival, every year, the four sides gathered, although Xin Jiang, Xiangning, Jishan, Hejin, Wanrong, Yuncheng and other southern counties and cities of Jinan, but the people of northwestern Henan, Shaanxi Province, and other places are also dusty, traveled far and wide. Especially in recent years, xiangning county party committee, the county government is committed to the development of extensive publicity, Yunqushan in the festival and the name of the four sides, February 15 every year, the mountain to pay homage to the saint, linger in the mountains and waters of the people in an endless stream of cars jammed the river, full of people ravine. The scope of the study covers the center of the summer people's activities in the region, which shows that the summer people towards the top of the saying is not false. We believe that the government to promote, the people participate, Yunqiu Mountain in the Festival of the Chinese nation's excellent traditional cultural festivals, will increasingly carry forward. Nation has people's feelings, local customs. Now the cloud mountain local traditional festival customs are listed below, for the benefit of readers.

First from the waxing moon twenty-third. The entire Chinese nation called Lunar New Year for the twenty-third, Yunqiu Mountain area is no exception. Twenty-three master (ya) to the sky, the daughter-in-law does not return to the resistant mast. It means that all the deities offered at home go to heaven on the twenty-third day of the lunar month to give an account to the Jade Emperor on how to arrange for the next year for the main family. New daughters-in-law who live in their mother's home usually have to return to the man's home before the twenty-third to do chores such as grinding flour and steaming buns in preparation for the New Year. On the night of the twenty-third, the offerings placed in front of the gods include sugar gourds and pasta, which is burned round and oval, and cut into the shape of a flag flower with a knife. Then five columns of incense are raised, five sheets of table paper are burned, three cups of wine are toasted, and the gods are sent off to heaven to say good things.

After the twenty-third, each family can sweep and clean up. Then grind flour, grind tofu, steam jujube flower buns, jujube mountain buns and longevity peaches. Yunqushan local also check the birthday do (zou) full moon said, is to inquire about whose family has a child or to the head of the Qi (30 years old, 40 years old, 50 years old, 60 years old ......) The name "zou" means to inquire about who has a child or who has reached the age of 30, 40, 50 or 60. Each family automatically takes some gifts to the door to celebrate without the other party's notice. Except for a steamed bun in the form of a pomegranate for the age of 30, there are all longevity peaches for the age of 40 and above. They are given to relatives in the first month of the year.

There are also many foods prepared for deep-frying. Oil cake, oil oval, sesame flower, sesame leaf, balls, tofu, sweet potatoes and so on. In recent years, due to the improvement of living standards, families with roasted chicken, fish, chicken legs and red meat abound.

Flower bun is a major product of Yunqiu Mountain, it is a good fermentation of white flour with leaven and then hand-pressed into a round ellipsoid form, generally do not use a rolling pin pressure, the top with a knife gently cut into squares or chevron-shaped imprints, and then put into the hot pit head to let it hair virtual. The process to master the virtual process, the face of the virtual over the top or lack of virtual can not, in short, to be just right after the oil pot into the heat of the natural drums, so the fried buns is a highly technical work, the drums of the more round, the family's luck in the year is good, the drums are not round, or purely non-drums of the family, the year's luck may not be good.

There is another big task before the 30th day of the new year, which is to go to the bottom of the mountain to buy new year's goods. I remember when I was a child, each family only bought 2 pounds of cooking oil, weighed a catty of vermicelli, and bought two cabbages to get rid of the year. The clothes we wore were all made of cotton woven by my mother, and it was good enough to wear all of them. No matter adults and children, inside and outside a temporary new, leather shoes and socks several pairs of food in addition to the preparation at home, but also in the market to buy fish, shrimp, fungus, peanut rice, beef, pork, jellyfish, sausage and so on. Anyway, each family entertains relatives usually nine plates. Then there is a hot pot, which is heated by a charcoal fire, and its bottom layer is filled with seaweed and cabbage; the middle layer is filled with fried tofu, white tofu, and fried meatballs; and the top layer is filled with a circle of braised pork.

By New Year's Eve, the atmosphere of the New Year is thick. Families clean their yards, put up couplets, wash the glass, and hang red lanterns. Women at home to prepare meat dumplings, these meat fillings are beef, pork, mutton, eggs with leeks, etc.; men go up the slope to cut cypress leaves to dig cypress pimples, and then the cypress pimples split into small pieces in preparation for the early morning to welcome the gods to play the bonfire with.

The family ate dumplings at night while watching the New Year's Eve gala, and it was a joyous occasion. New Year's Eve dinner to do more, must be left over, indicating that there is a surplus of successive years. There is also a local New Year's Eve vigil on New Year's Eve, where the longer the person keeps the vigil, the longer that person will live. In addition, children are not allowed to play, do not curse, do not swear. Anyway, all behavior should be standardized, meaning that all the gods in the family will be coming down to earth, the whole family must wait seriously, there can not be the slightest ambiguity, Figure a lucky.

In the past, the time to receive the gods are about four to five o'clock in the second half of the night, it is said to receive the early home will be able to people in the coming year, prosperity, prosperity. In recent years, most of the families start to receive the god at twelve o'clock, and make offerings in the early hours of the morning after receiving the god.

The procedure of receiving the god, first release the door cannon, after dressing, the door is not open to the door to release a cannon, if the cannon sounded loud, then the luck of the year is smooth, if the cannon did not sound, that the luck of the year is not good. Subsequently is to offer God, before offering God to wash your hands and face, wash your face when you can not let the water splashed on the ground, otherwise the family hired to work in the coming year love rain.

The order of the gods is first heaven and earth, land, their tablets are: heaven and earth, the three realms of ten ten thousand souls of the true master, the land of the god of the two gods are generally for the north of the yard, the sky for the left, the right for the right. Subsequently, they are offered to the gods inside the home. They are the whole hall of the god of the master, the god of wealth of the god of the master, the god of Zaojun master, the god of the door god of the god of the master and the family's ancestors x door ancestors of the three generations of the spirit of the position.

Offerings to the gods are made by first lighting candles, then incense, and then placing offerings of fruit, cakes, jujube flowers, and flower buns. Finally, paper is burned and wine is toasted. In front of the god is five columns of incense, five yellow paper, three cups of white wine; ancestors in front of the hall is four columns of incense, five pieces of five-color paper, two cups of wine. The whole family kowtows nine times in front of the god and four times in front of the ancestor hall. On the morning of the first day of the first day of the year, there are three incenses, one in the afternoon, one in the afternoon of the second, third and fourth days of the year, and one in the morning and one in the evening of the fifth day of the year.

On the first day of the first day of the first bonfire before offering to the gods, the bonfire burns red, the thicker the smoke from the cypress leaves, the louder the crackling sound, the more auspicious. It is said that lighting a bonfire can drive away evil spirits. Firecrackers are fired at the same time as the fire, which brings the New Year's atmosphere to a climax.

After making offerings to the gods, the whole family eats a portion of steamed buns and jujube blossoms roasted by the bonfire. It is said that if you eat the roasted buns, your teeth will not hurt for a year. The next step is to eat dumplings. When eating dumplings, it is said that whoever can win the dumpling wrapped with money will be lucky and have a bright future.

After the meal, the whole village went to the Eight Treasures Palace and the Five Dragons Palace to make offerings to the gods, in order to have a good harvest all year round, to be strong and healthy, and to have everything go well.

After the first day of the year, they began to visit friends and relatives. It is often said that the first aunt after the aunt, uncle's home in the most head. The first two go uncle, the first three father-in-law's home, the first four aunts and uncles home, the first five we here called the broken five, this day who organized the funeral, the relatives and friends of this family will come to the family to offer the dead.

In the past to visit friends and relatives, generally with the flower buns, jujube flower, the host family only charge a jujube flower a flower bun, if there are children back to a cake cake, to three five pieces of new year's money. The first thing you need to do is to bring a box of milk or a high-quality drink to visit your friends and relatives.

New Year's Day on the fifteenth day of the first month, the villages began to play flower drums to pay homage to the New Year, each to a family to play at least three games of flower drums, the host family to prepare plates, wine, peanuts, sugar, cigarettes, etc. to comfort the people who play the flower of black beans.

The villages of Luyuangou, Kangjiaping, Qianzhuang, Houzhuang, Dingshi and Talpo all have flower drums. The flower drums of Yunqiu also have a long history, with one boy carrying the flower drum and four girls playing small gongs, plus one large gong and four large cymbals. The drums are rhythmic, loud and lively. After each scene either say four words of blessing or sing a piece of ancient music, quite attractive.

At night these villages have fireworks. Once upon a time the fireworks are ordinary people to create their own, is to use an iron flower tube, loaded with some gunpowder, lighted after the spray of gold flowers is good-looking, but the sound of the spray is strange and scary, there are fashioned too much, and may explode and hurt people. In recent years are to the bazaar to buy fireworks, both lightweight, but also safe, and good-looking, fancy.

The first day of February is the five dragons Palace, Babao Palace opening day, the day of faith men and women with children and grandchildren to the two Palace pilgrimage, Hejin, Jishan, Xinjiang, there are also a considerable number of people to the top. From then on, the two palaces daily pilgrimage to the people in an endless stream, has continued to the first of April.

On the second day of February, the saying of biting the scorpion's tail was circulated. From this day onwards everything resurfaces, all kinds of animal stupidity, the morning does not get up in the quilt to eat sesame flowers or hemp leaves for biting the scorpion tail, it is said that so a year without the harm of poisonous insects.

March 3, eat jujube mountain, this is a local saying. In the waxing moon steamed buns, each family steamed a jujube mountain, this jujube mountain is with a lot of small jujube flowers into a large bun, shape, head, waist, legs, feet. On the first day of the first month into the Zaojun front until March 3 to start eating. Because of the long time, first soak in cool water, stir some white artemisia, accompanied by bone grains, quite delicious.

To the May Dragon Boat Festival, although the people do not know what this festival and Qu Yuan, but know that this festival can eat rice dumplings. Some also use rice, jujube into the basin to steam out and put sugar is also a good delicacy. Early in the morning of this day, each family will collect the leaves to the gate, small doors, window sills, the gods in front of, for good luck, to drive away evil spirits. The leaves can be used to cure several rheumatic bone diseases when they dry out over time. In addition, each person must drink drunken yellow wine before breakfast to show that they are not harmed by snakes and other poisonous insects.

Additionally, there is a local custom of giving away the duanwu. That is, no matter which family married a new daughter-in-law in the previous year, the second year of the Dragon Boat Festival daughter-in-law's mother's family and relatives to the in-laws to send the Dragon Boat. The buns sent are in tiger form, lion form and big round buns; the things sent are mats, fans, bamboo curtains and a few clothes.

Yunqiu side called this day for the ghost of the festival, each family in this day steamed some white bread in front of the old ancestors burn some paper money, rise some incense, wish the old people in the netherworld do not worry about food and clothing, not the wild ghosts. Some daughters-in-law also went to her mother's home to her family's deceased elderly to offer sacrifices.

The first five days of Lunar New Year eat five beans, the first eight days of Lunar New Year eat boring rice (millet porridge with pumpkin) has been handed down to this day.

In this way, year after year, day after day, the people of Yunqiu according to their own customs, has been born and bred, reproduced in this piece of land. According to the existing monuments and records contained in: five Dragon Palace of the old temple a, I do not know began in what generation, the temple is lofty Hui Ying, the image of a solemn and majestic. Therefore, the ink scholar with the joy of the people in an endless stream, the Velvet Feathered Prayer Blessings drive full of road.

Ching Kangxi thirteen years September 23, the temple suddenly suffered Zhu Rong disaster, a torch burned ruins. And by the monks and Taoists to collect, benevolent people all donate, collected thousands of gold for the capital, rebuild the Green Temple for the five dragons Palace, lasted five years, in one sixty-seven years in the first scale.

The beginning of 1679 Yunqushan temple fair formally emerged. The Republic of China version of the "Xiangning County Records": the year two, March, hundreds of miles from the mountain side of the gang, commonly known as the mountain, as far as Zhongzhou, Sichuan, Shaanxi also have to the person. Every year on the first day of February in the ancient calendar to open the palace gate, the first day of April closed the palace gate, the temple fair lasted two months, February 15 is designated as the Festival of the Central and is the climax of the Central will be the day. Since October 1938, the Japanese invasion forces will be the temple burned, the ancient temple will gradually cool.

In 1986, in the local wise man planning, five dragon palace original three-story site built a simple small temple, since then into the incense pilgrimage to the mountain wind revival, tourists more than a year like a year. On February 15, 1994, the civil society initiated, government support, held a cloud mountain tourism development and ancient temple will be restored in the meeting.

It is the pilgrimage to the mountain to worship the people in an endless stream, drive full of road. The size of the vehicle rows more than two miles long, people such as ants, flags such as the sea, songs such as the tide, drums, guns shake the ground. Yunqushan temple fair scale, in the neighboring Jinnan counties is unique. Red persimmon is a major specialty of Yunqushan. Because of the characteristics of the climate and terrain, especially suitable for the growth of persimmons. To the south of Jishan Xinjiang generation although there are persimmon trees, persimmons skin is thin, but not long storage, easy to rot. Yunqushan persimmons in the tree to not pick it, it can be a winter, compared to other places of persimmons is not, if not picked, it will also fall down. The East Crossroads also has persimmon trees in the future, but because of the short time of light, the persimmons do not reach the peak of ripeness, it is always difficult to avoid the green.

Yunqiu Mountain persimmons especially, listen to me one by one: can fill the hunger

I and **** and the country with the same age, 58 years of the Great Leap Forward, the collective canteen meal, 61, 62 years of natural disasters (natural disasters) and man-made disasters (the Soviet Union to force China to pay its debts), I have personally experienced, the whole country in the starvation and cold on the deathbed struggling. Cafeteria meals with tickets to receive meals, limited to a limited number of dishes, each person can only eat a half-full, the worst time to eat a peach leaf nest, wild rice heart nest, persimmon leaf nest, the country's relief supplies are sweet potato chips. Can not eat the people naturally want to think of ways, so pick some persimmons soaked in warm water (commonly known as warm persimmons), remove the astringent flavor after hunger. A lot of people who are old enough to mention their past lives still remember persimmons with great fondness.

Red persimmons can be eaten in a variety of ways. For ripe persimmons, soak them in warm water the night before, heat them up the next morning, fish up a couple of big bowls, and the whole family will gather around in a circle with some dry buns, even if it's a breakfast. Persimmons vary with the soil, some places persimmons eat turns sweet, some places persimmons eat turns sheep, some places persimmons eat turns crunchy, some places persimmons eat turns dye.

For not yet ripe persimmons, it can not be warmed with water to eat. As they say: July walnut August pear, September persimmon red skin. If you want to eat in this period, you need to warm it with apples, pears and other fruits. The procedure is: use a porcelain jar, put three to four apples or pears and other fruits on its bottom, put persimmons on the top, tightly seal the mouth of the jar. After a week, the persimmons become reddish in color, the flesh becomes thin and soft, and it tastes both sweet and refreshing.

The ripe and soft persimmons can be eaten with noodles. Yunqushan local, every winter, each family with wheat, corn, grain, beans in a pot, fried and ground into noodles, commonly known as cooked noodles (because of its hot, suitable for winter consumption). In the morning and evening, they scooped half a bowl of cooked noodles, broke a few soft persimmons, peeled them, and stirred them well with the noodles, so that they tasted not only sweet and crispy, but also oily and better.

Persimmon is a tonic

Yunqiu Mountain generation has left a saying: a thousand years of the old acacia asked the old persimmon. It means that the persimmon tree has a lot of life, even more than the life of the acacia tree. From the cited visible its fruit is certainly a great tonic for people to prolong life. According to the medical profession this dry offer, often eat persimmons can moisturize the skin, make the skin for more delicate, more water color; often eat persimmons can lower blood pressure, blood, blood; often eat persimmons can be born to the essence of the kidney; often eat persimmons can be diuretic, nourishing the stomach. The biggest feature of persimmons can astringent intestines, stop diarrhea. It can be said that persimmon is a green tonic.

Persimmon wine

Persimmon wine is a patent of the people of Yunqiu Mountain.

Because Yunqiu mountain ditch is deep and high, the growth of persimmon trees are generally tall and large, which adds a lot of difficulty to the picking of persimmons, so a considerable part of the persimmons by shaking the branches of the tree to make it fall, the degree of breakage is very serious, neither easy to store, nor can they make persimmon cakes, the ancestors invented a way to use broken persimmons brewing method, the specific steps are:

First, put broken persimmon In the stone trough, with a stone mallet will be pounded to pulp, and then loaded with a large jar (loaded before the bottom of the jar should be put some grain stalks and steamed buns using the leaven). At first put into the jar of persimmon pulp not too much, and so the fermentation, persimmon pulp up after the small bubbles, with a d-shaped stick began to play, and so the fermented persimmon pulp to the original position, and then into the new persimmon pulp, and so the rounds back and forth, rounds back and forth to load, until the canister full of pulp. After filling the jar, the persimmon pulp kept fermenting, so it was necessary to keep beating, which was one of the hardest work procedures. If you hit several cans of persimmons, sometimes you can't even sleep, and you have to stay in front of the can and keep hitting it until it stops fermenting upwards. Then, they seal the mouth of the jar with some mud, and start to burn the wine when they can't go out to work during the holidays or when it's snowing.

Burning wine, each village has a wine machine, which is similar to a shakuhachi circle, but the height of the wine machine can be as high as three iron circles. On top of the circle is an iron cover, which is similar to the one used by the people for steaming bread, but the difference is that the cover for steaming bread is facing downwards, while the cover for burning wine is facing upwards and is used to hold water. Put the wine machine on top of the shakuhachi pot, inside the steamed buns with the grate, and then the fermented persimmon pulp out of the straw phase and stirred in the wine machine circle, and then put the iron uncovered cover mouth facing up to the cover, iron uncovered cover pour some water, and then the lower side of the beginning of the water to burn wine.

It is said that the key to boiling wine is to control the cement in the top iron lid. If the water temperature is too high, the wine will evaporate, and if the water temperature is too low, the wine will not come out.

The local people just brewed wine head shower wine, head shower wine degree is relatively high, about the alcohol content of 55 degrees or more, generally only brewed to the three shower wine is no longer brewed, pouring out the dregs and start again.

Because persimmon is a tonic, the efficacy of persimmon wine is naturally self-evident. Especially for back and leg pain, you can put persimmon wine with fire point, rubbing on the body, round back many times, the effect is obvious.

Persimmon vinegar

Persimmon vinegar is also a major specialty of Yunqushan. The production of persimmon vinegar is not as tedious as persimmon wine. As long as the broken persimmons in a tile urn, the bottom of the urn has a small hole like a cigarette butt, after a month and a half, the persimmons in the urn fermentation, you can pour vinegar. The persimmon vinegar is sweet and sour, and it is a natural food.

Persimmon cake

Persimmon cake in the land of Xiangning only Yunqushan persimmon cake is second to none. Yunqiu Mountain persimmon many varieties, there are nest persimmon, fist so big; there are fire egg persimmon, walnut so big; there are saucer persimmon, shape flat round; there is a sow pimple persimmon, shaped like a kind of wheat sow pimple, the top of the tip of the round; most of the persimmons are conical.

Persimmon cake production process is this: first remove the persimmon tail sepals, and then peel its skin, peeling process, locally known as spinning persimmon cake. Every family has a spin persimmon cake car, one end is made of iron three forks, the persimmon inserted into the top, the knife to the top of a put, the left hand a stir, turn a circle, the skin will be stripped. This is also a technical job, spinning fast people can spin a hundred pounds a bell. After peeling the persimmons to be put on a mat prepared with chess rods to dry, about twenty days in the sun with a hand pinch up the soft on the line. Then they are stacked together and covered with sacks and other things. After a week of covering them, they were put on the mats to dry again, one by one, in the shape of bibimbap. The bibimbap should not be too dry or too wet. Then put them away again and cover them again with a sack or grain grass. The first thing you need to do is to keep a close eye on the situation, so you can lift up the sack to dry it out, and then it will start to produce frost after a month or so, and the persimmon cakes will be successful.

Yunqiu Mountain persimmon cake is a masterpiece, and sweet, and sheep, especially the nest big persimmon cake is particularly delicious, but also to send friends of the perfect gift.

It is hoped that the development of tourism in Yunqiu at the same time, grasp the planting of persimmons this industry, so that it carries forward, so that the related persimmon culture has become another signboard to attract tourists.
