What are the historical and cultural classics about the origin of Anyan Fuyang Festival? And importance

Fuyang Festival is a festival with Peng Zu cultural connotation created on the basis of Xuzhou folk food customs. In the Peng Zu era, Xuzhou had the custom of eating sheep, and Peng Zu's "Hide Fish and Hide Sheep" was the sublimation of the cooking skills of sheep dishes in that era.

According to historical records, as early as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Fan Xin, the prime minister of the State of Yue, lived in seclusion in southern Shandong. Seeing the beautiful grass and water in southern Shandong, I raised sheep here to get rich. Be kind to the people. Before the last years of the dynasty, mutton was the main character of China court banquet. In the Yuan Dynasty, the Khitans of the northern nomadic tribes unified China.

Su Wen of Huangdi Neijing also said: "Yin and Yang in the four seasons are the foundation of all things. Therefore, saints nourish yang in spring and summer and yin in autumn and winter. " It can be seen that eating sheep in dog days can balance yin and yang, complement cold and heat, and have the effects of invigorating qi and tonifying deficiency and strengthening the body.

Eating mutton in the dog days of northern Jiangsu is an old tradition, which is a bit out of place. In recent years, the ancient tradition of this place has been combined with rural tourism in the suburbs of Shanghai to form a fixed "Fuyang Festival". Every summer, Fuyang Festival is held in Zhuangxing Town, Shanghai.
