Black rice, black and shiny, fragrant and delicious, is made by soaking glutinous rice in black leaves for several hours and then cooking. On this day of long summer, Jiangnan people love to eat. It is said that this custom originated from Sun Bin, a famous strategist in the Warring States Period.

Sun Bin and Pang Juan are classmates and friends, and they are both students of Guiguzi. Both of them are equally knowledgeable and resourceful, but Sun Bin is honest and kind, while Pang Juan is calculating. They studied hard with master for three years. Pang Juan saw that he had finished his studies and was about to make a name for himself, so he said goodbye to his master and came to Wei. Sun Bin thought that he had not finished his studies, and continued to study with his master. Guiguzi had long taken a fancy to this honest student, so he taught him the art of war, hoping that he could save troubled times and make great contributions.

Two years later, one day, Sun Bin received a letter from Pang Juan, saying that he became a general and invited him to Wei, assisted by Wang Wei. Sun Bin was very happy and went to consult the teacher. After reading the letter, the teacher was silent, but he still agreed to Sun Bin going down the mountain.

As soon as Sun Bin arrived in Wei, Pang Juan recommended him to Wang Wei, who appreciated him. From then on, the two men often get together to discuss state affairs, ways to make Qiang Bing rich, and laws and fighting strategies. Only when Pang Juan saw that Sun Bin was much taller than himself did he know that Mr. Pang had taught Sun Bin the Art of War. He wanted to borrow an art book, so Sun Bin had to tell him the truth, but Mr. Wang refused to take it down the mountain. Pang Juan is not happy.

Suddenly, one day, Sun Bin was kidnapped, tortured, cut off two kneecaps and thrown into prison by a group of people who chopped people with axes. Sun Bin has a terrible pain. Not only did he ask the foot soldiers loudly, but the foot soldiers didn't answer, saying only that it was Wang Wei's order. Sun Bin felt wronged. He didn't do anything wrong, but he didn't know why he was punished. How he wishes Pang Juan could be fair to himself! Pang Juan did come. He hugged Sun Bin's broken leg and cried his eyes out: "How could Wang Wei do such a thing!" Sun Bin also sobbed for Pang Juan's help. Pang Juan said in despair, "Everyone else can do it. What should I do with Wang Wei!"

Pang Juan visited the prison every day, and gave Sun Bin good tea and food. Sun Bin was very moved and thought that if we met in adversity, we might as well be old classmates. Since Sun Bin's legs were crippled, he lost all hope, thinking that he had read Sun Tzu's Art of War, but now he has become a cripple, unable to make contributions. What's the use of living I tried to commit suicide several times, but I was dissuaded by Pang Juan. Pang Juan said that he was willing to serve him all his life. Upon hearing this, Sun Bin was moved to tears.

One day, Pang Juan visited Sun Bin again and chatted. Pang Juan said, "Brother, you should cheer up. Although you are disabled, you can't take all your troops to fight and make contributions. However, you can also write down your own combat tactics, write a book, pass it on to the afterlife, or pass it on forever! " Listening to Pang Juan's earnest words, Sun Bin felt very reasonable and nodded his head.

From that day on, Sun Bin got up early, forgot to eat and sleep, and kept writing art books every day. Pang Juan came more frequently, be caring and attentive, check the writing progress of The Art of War, and advise him to take care of himself. Sun Bin thanked Pang Juan for his deep friendship and diligence, and thought of writing it down for Pang Juan to thank him for his care.

A few months have passed, and Sun Tzu's Art of War is about to be written. One day, the old jailer guarding Sun Bin enthusiastically said to Sun Bin, "Sir, I will try my best to send you home." Sun Bin said with a smile, "Old man, it's not necessary. I'll give it to the general when the artistic writing is finished. We are old friends, and I am relieved to give it to him. "

Hearing this, the jailer opened his mouth in surprise and could not speak for a long time. Sun Bin asked in surprise, "What's the matter with you?" The old jailer sighed and said sadly, "sir, you are too kind." It was General Pang who hurt you! He framed you because he hated your talent! " Indeed, although Pang Juan is resourceful, he is narrow-minded and jealous of talents. When he saw that Sun Bin was familiar with the art of war and was afraid of affecting his future, he designed a frame-up and fined him so that he could not go into battle with all his troops in an attempt to defraud the art of war.

Sun Bin listened to the old jailer, like a bolt from the blue, dumbfounded. He focused, and finally an epiphany, see through Pang Juan's evil intentions. He was so angry that he didn't expect his respected classmate and friend to be a treacherous little man. He burned all the military books he had written and thought about countermeasures.

The next day, Pang Juan came to the prison and saw Sun Bin unkempt, in distress situation and crazy. The written art of war had been burned. He was so angry that he immediately ordered Sun Bin to be put in a pigsty and watched to see if he was really crazy or fake crazy. Who knows, in a short time, Sun Bin was fast asleep with his pig trough under his pillow.

From then on, Sun Bin didn't eat or drink, went crazy and hung out with pigs all day. The old jailer sympathized with what happened to Sun Bin, and saw that he was getting thinner and moping all day. Knowing this, the old jailer's wife offered a plan: "Soak glutinous rice with black leaves, cook it and knead it into small balls, which are similar in color and shape to pig manure, which can not only fool Pang Juan, but also save Sun Bin's life." The old jailer was overjoyed and asked his wife to do it quickly. It was a long summer. When the old jailer was on duty, he gave jiaozi to Sun Bin.

Smart Sun Bin is self-evident. Pang Juan came to see him, smiled and grabbed the pig manure around him and threw it at Pang Juan. Pang Juan dodged from left to right, but he still scattered pig manure. Sun Bin clapped his hands and smiled: "This pig manure is so good. If you don't eat it, I will eat it." As he spoke, he touched the "pig manure" one by one and ate it. Pang Juan saw Sun Bin eating pig manure and believed that he was really crazy, so he relaxed his supervision.

Qi has long heard of Sun Bin's talent. Tian Ji sent people to design and rescue Sun Bin with the old jailer. Sun Bin came to Qi, was worshipped as a military adviser, and directed the war in a wheelchair. Later, Qi and Wei went to war. In Maling Island, Sun Bin defeated Wei Jun, shot Pang Juan, and finally got revenge.

Sun Bin was very grateful to the old jailer. Every time he goes to Long Summer, he will eat a dumpling with black leaves. People admire Sun Bin's honest ability to cook black rice in the long summer. Formed the custom of eating black rice in the long summer. It is said that eating black rice can also dispel wind and detoxify, and even mosquitoes will not bite.

In the first year of Qing Qianlong, "Yunnan Tongzhi" recorded that on the day of long summer in April, "Gleditsia sinensis branch safflower was inserted into the house; Surround the gray wall to avoid snakes. " Avoiding snakes in April is related to the fact that the zodiac is already a snake. The earth supports the moon, March is Chen, and April is from. Chang Xia hates fetishism, and sticks acacia branches and safflower on the door, which means that both black (water) and red (fire) are beneficial. According to the ancient theory of five elements, black is water and red is fire. This is to achieve balance through mutual restraint between the two. At the same time, the ancients not only used Gleditsia sinensis to decontaminate daily, but also used Gleditsia sinensis as medicine, believing that it had insecticidal effect. Treat it as a disgusting thing, and also focus on eliminating filth and exorcism. In old May, there was a custom of hanging Gleditsia sinensis on the door.
