Tomb-Sweeping Day Nantong Traditional Food

During the Qingming Festival, the custom in Jiangnan is to have a reunion dinner.

Qingyuan Festival is a traditional snack that people in the south of the Yangtze River eat in Tomb-Sweeping Day. According to textual research, the name of the Youth League has a history of 1000 years since the Tang Dynasty. When I was in Tomb-Sweeping Day, the youth league was almost steamed. In ancient times, people made green balls mainly as sacrifices. Although the Youth League has existed for thousands of years and its shape has not changed, its function as a sacrifice has gradually faded and it has become a seasonal snack.

Extended data:

Some green balls are made of wheat straw, some are made of wormwood juice, and some are made of other green leafy vegetable juices and glutinous rice flour, and then stuffed with bean paste. The function of Qing Tuan as a sacrifice is weakening day by day, and more people regard it as a spring outing snack.

Green ball is green as jade, tender and fragrant, fat but not fat, and it is a natural green healthy snack. After steaming, the soft skin is green, the bean paste stuffing is sweet but not greasy, and it has a faint aroma of wormwood, which is delicious.
