What traditional foods do you eat when you are shocked?

1, pear. During the period of fright, you should eat more foods that promote fluid production and moisten the lungs. Pear is cold and sweet, and has the effects of moistening lung, relieving cough, nourishing yin and clearing heat. It is suggested that it is best to cook pears with rock sugar in spring, which can not only avoid cold food, but also benefit the stomach. Steamed pear with rock sugar and steamed pear with fritillary bulb are simple and convenient to make, and have certain curative effect on cough.

2. eggs. Besides eating pears, there is also a folk saying that people are afraid of eating eggs. It is said that it is because the white tiger is sacrificed on this day, and the white tiger usually grins. Only feed it with eggs, and it won't hurt people if you are full. After evolution, the eggs that were originally fed to the white tiger are now fed to people themselves.

3. Shantou. Hakka people in southern Jiangxi and western Fujian should cook taro and stir-fry soybeans in hot water on the day of fright (representing the elimination of all kinds of pests). Chinese medicine believes that taro can tonify the middle energizer, because it is rich in mucinous saponins and various trace elements, which can help the human body correct the physiological abnormalities caused by the lack of trace elements, stimulate appetite and help digestion.

4. pancakes. In some areas of Shandong province, farmers burn pancakes in the yard on the day of fright, which means that smoke kills pests.

5, fried beans. In some areas of Shaanxi, you have to eat fried beans after being electrocuted. People soak soybeans in salt water and stir-fry them in a pot, making a crackling sound, which symbolizes the jumping sound of insects when they are tortured by heat in the pot.

6. Glutinous rice wine. When spring comes, people's sweat pores are also open. In some places in the northwest, every household is required to drink glutinous rice wine and eat egg pancakes mixed with mustard juice to drive away the accumulated cold.

7. corn. In ethnic minority areas, Yao people in Jinxiu county, Guangxi eat "fried insects" on the day of fright. After the "fried insects" were done, they were placed in the hall, and the family sat around and ate, shouting "Eat fried insects, eat fried insects!" There will be a game in the fun place. Whoever eats fast and chews loudly will be congratulated for his contribution to eliminating pests. In fact, the "worm" is corn, which is symbolic.
