Yangzhou's Spring Festival Customs and Stories

Yangzhou has the custom and story of making Beijing fruit powder during the Spring Festival.

Jingguo powder is a traditional food, which originated in Yangzhou and is popular in Jiangsu. Refined fruit powder belongs to the category of convenience food and refreshments, and it is specially sold in tea shops. This Guo Jing powder is a bit like oil tea in the north and sesame paste in the south. Compared with camellia oleifera and sesame paste, although each has its own advantages, I always feel that Jingguo powder is slightly better. This is not only because it is convenient to eat, unique and delicious, but also because it has some characters. 19 1 1 year won the silver award of Nanyang product exchange.

After the New Year's Eve, people often burn incense and light candles for the gods, worship the world and have fun with their families. This is the so-called "keeping the old year", that is, waiting for the handover time of the old year and the new year. This is a dream of red mansions 53 back to write:

That night, Buddhist temples everywhere burned incense in front of the kitchen god. In Mrs. Wang's main room, there is a paper horse that smells sweet. There are corner lights at the main entrance of the Grand View Garden, lighting on both sides, and street lamps everywhere. Up and down, wearing flowers. One night, there was a lot of noise, laughter and firecrackers.

Here, there are not only the bright lights of Jiafu as a wealthy family on New Year's Eve, but also the noble style of the imperial court as a meritorious emperor Qi's family, all above the "corner lights". Because corner lights, Yang Jiaodeng, can generally be used, but hanging corner lights on the door on New Year's Eve is a note of the court, and ordinary bureaucrats dare not go beyond this ceremony. The Grand View Garden was built by the Jia family on the day of Shangyuan for the imperial concubine's mothering. Therefore, hanging corner lights on the door on New Year's Eve is not a violation of authority, but a manifestation of royalty.
