Jiangsu area over the big cold, folk traditions have what characteristics?

1. In the Jiangsu area, there is a folk "one nine a chicken" traditional food customs. Although the big cold festival has been around the fourth nine of the lunar calendar, but Nanjing people still want to drink chicken soup. Roasted chicken must be used to Lao Fu chicken, or stewed alone, or with ginseng must, glutinous rice, black fungus stew together. Chicken soup is flavorful and nutritious, perfect for winter. In southern China, it is known as the custom of eating glutinous rice. The weather in Dahan is very cold, and glutinous rice is a high-calorie food that has a very good effect on keeping you warm. Dahan is usually "49". This is also the time when Nanjing people will stew old hen soup, and when stewing it, they will also add wolfberries and black fungus to make the chicken soup more delicious and tender, and the whole body is warmed up.

2. Tooth Festival refers to the traditional custom of offering sacrifices to the God of Wealth twice a month. In our rural areas, the local god of wealth is the landlord, and folks believe that the landlord can bless businesses with prosperous enterprises and weddings crowded with tourists. Therefore, on the 16th day of the 12th month of the Lunar Calendar, people offer meat offerings such as chicken, pork and fish to worship the God of Land. Generally speaking, on the second day of the second month of the lunar calendar every year, "making teeth", commonly known as "first teeth", on the sixteenth day of the Lunar New Year is called "last teeth". In ancient China, "long teeth", has been enshrined by the God of the land after the meat will always be distributed to eat, commonly known as the "tooth festival".

3. The arrival of the Dahan festival signals that we are not far from the traditional Chinese festival of Spring Festival. Although it is the off-season, every household is busy. People are busy preparing for the New Year, rushing around, buying New Year's goods and writing Spring Festival couplets. There is also a need to prepare all kinds of sacrificial offerings, wash things, remove old and new cloths, cure sausages and bacon, or fry and cook chickens, ducks, fish and other New Year's dishes. The traditional custom of eating 191 chickens is still honored by many families during the cold winter months. Most Nanking people choose old hen, stewed alone or with ginseng whiskers, wolfberries and black fungus. Drinking a bowl of chicken soup in the cold winter is really a treat. In addition, when cooking soup, try not to open the lid, otherwise it is easy to "fire", affecting the taste of chicken soup.
