The Unique Customs of the Dragon Boat Festival in Tianshui City

1, purse: Why is it called purse? After 90, we all know that the leather bags we wore as children were wrapped in cigarette cases and various colors of thread. Maybe the appearance is not as fancy as it looks on the market now, but it is the memory of our generation and looks kind and nostalgic.

2, hands: hands are also called flower hands, thread bracelets, children's arms and ankles are wrapped in colorful silk threads, so as to avoid the five poisons. Tianshui people mainly say to avoid long worms (snakes). Tianshui custom is to pack on May 5th and cut on June 6th. The cut silk rope should not be discarded casually, but must be thrown on the eaves. The magpie will bridge the gap between the Cowherd and the Weaver Maid on the night of July 7th.

3, glutinous rice balls: Tianshui traditional glutinous rice balls have no bean paste, no red dates, and there will be no strange fillings. Only a simple glutinous rice bag is made of reed leaves (zongye) and then tied tightly with Ma Lian (Malan). Don't tie it with thread. Mixed with thick honey when eating, the fragrance of bamboo leaves+the sweetness of honey+the fragrance of rice is refreshing and delicious.

4. Fried box: Fried box is one of the traditional foods of Tianshui Dragon Boat Festival. It is a kind of food made of fine roses, walnuts, red and green silk, etc. Make lace and fry it. It is named after two pieces of noodles and looks like a box. Golden skin, crisp fragrance, fine stuffing and pure taste. It has always been loved by Tianshui citizens and is a must-have snack for every household in Tianshui during the Dragon Boat Festival.
