There is a folk saying that "when the wheat is cut and the field is finished, whose daughter doesn't look at her mother or her mother, let the family send the sheep." In June, the bride sent 24 sheep-shaped pasta (8 big, 8 medium and 8 lambs) steamed from white flour to her daughter's house, together with summer food such as sesame candy, fruit and watermelon, which was called "sending sheep".

Guangdong Yingchunhua City

Guangzhou is known as the "Flower City", and its annual spring flower market attracts worldwide attention. On the eve of the Spring Festival, flowers are in full bloom in the streets of Guangzhou.

Colored buildings and arched flower stands are set up on the main streets of each district. Flower farmers from four villages and towns came in one after another, arrayed themselves, selling flowers and oranges, and the ten-mile long street was crowded with flowers and people. It didn't disperse until the early morning of the first day. This is a unique Chinese New Year's Eve flower market in Guangzhou.

Guangzhou has been planting flowers for 1000 years. As early as the Southern Han Dynasty in the Five Dynasties, there were many fragrant flower fields in Zhuangtou Village on the south bank of the Pearl River. Ji Suxin, the pet of Liu Wei, the king of the Southern Han Dynasty, was the flower girl in Zhuangtou. Kumquat symbolizes "good luck". Similarly, there are fruits handed down from generation to generation, which means prosperity from generation to generation: bergamot fruits, like palms, are as elegant and solemn as believers, and are favored by good men and women.

At the beginning of the twelfth lunar month, there were a large number of narcissus heads shipped from Zhangzhou, Fujian Province. After people buy it back, they cultivate it carefully and control the flowering period by adjusting the water temperature and sunshine. Narcissus seems to understand people's feelings. It often blooms in turn at the family reunion dinner on New Year's Eve, or in the firecrackers on the first day of the first month of the first month, bringing people endless fun. As the saying goes, "Flowers bloom with wealth", which is just a good sign. In addition, daffodils are delicate, graceful and fragrant, which is a must for every family.

Horn millet, also known as brown seeds, is made by folk methods: glutinous rice is wrapped in bamboo leaves and cooked in water. Made of pure glutinous rice, called zongzi; Cowpea or red beans are added to glutinous rice, which is called bean dumplings; There is also sweet potato (fresh sweet potato sliced and chopped) added to glutinous rice, which is called sweet potato jiaozi. There are also some farmers who specially embed a small amount of red dates, golden dates or lotus seeds in pure glutinous rice to increase the flavor. The bamboo leaves used to wrap zongzi are Indocalamus leaves. Zongzi wrapped in bamboo leaves is non-toxic and delicious. The rope for tying zongzi is usually made of palm leaves. This kind of leaves also smells after cooking. The shape of zongzi is mostly quadrangular, called angular zongzi, and some of them are spiral, called "rolled-foot zongzi". According to the warm custom, forty zongzi are usually tied together, and one of them is called "Zongniang" (one liter of rice makes four); There is also a very small one called "descendants zongzi" (one liter of rice makes ten); Commonly known as "Geng Xin Zongzi" (one liter of rice makes six), it is distributed to relatives, friends and neighbors. There are two kinds of zongzi, the top grade is stuffed meat zongzi and white sugar lotus seed zongzi; Followed by broad bean dumplings, locust bean dumplings and white dumplings. The latter is to burn early rice stalks or bean stalks, soak them in juice and cook them (the biggest feature), and then leach the alkali in them with hot water, commonly known as "drenching zongzi". In some areas, zongzi is the staple food for lunch. The combination of agricultural solar terms and customs. In the old society, willows hung on doors and windows, women had hair and willow tips on their heads, and children wore willow rings on their heads, meaning "thinking about youth (pro)". As the saying goes, "Qingming wears a willow, and there is an uncle in the afterlife."

The custom in Ningbo attaches great importance to sacrifice, especially to sweep graves to worship ancestors and cook clear soup and plain rice. Most of the wanderers at home and abroad go back to their graves. In the old society, the seasonal food for going to the grave was green cakes and mashed (black rice) cakes, and they sacrificed to their ancestors. Rich people also hire trumpeters to play. Weeds are removed when going to the grave, new soil is shoveled to press the top of the grave, and bamboo shoots are inserted with paper balls to show that future generations have done their filial piety to their ancestors, and at the same time, ancestors will bless the whole family for peace and prosperity. After the sacrifice, local farmers will get sesame cakes or cakes to take care of the graves. Because people are scrambling to get it, it is commonly known as "grabbing hemp". Sesame cakes should be cut into diamonds. In addition to tomb offerings and family offerings, there are also ancestral halls (also known as Taigongtian) and ancestor worship, and each room takes turns to worship ancestors. The person in charge bought food according to the menu, and invited the people to eat Qingming soup rice. The main course should be weighed. If it is not ready, put the equivalent money in an empty bowl and divide it among the people who eat it. The head and neck of the goose in the dish are eaten by the heads of families, which means that the "leaders" also divide bowls or pork according to people. Some exclude women, or reduce the number of flagons on the dining table for women (2 for men and 0 for women 1 pot).

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, we still used to sweep graves, cook soup and burn paper instead of sending flowers to commemorate the martyrs' ancestors.
