Tomb-Sweeping Day eats 500 words of green circle.
Youth League, traditional festival food of Han nationality. Eating Youth League is mainly popular in festivals like Tomb-Sweeping Day and Cold Food Festival in the south of the Yangtze River. This is a kind of green cake dough made of grass root juice. Its method is to put tender wormwood and hemp into a large pot, add lime to steam it, remove lime water, knead it into glutinous rice flour and make it into bright green cake dough.
Legend has it that one year in Tomb-Sweeping Day, Taiping Chen, the right-hand general of Li Xiucheng of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, was chased by Qing soldiers, and a nearby farmer stepped forward to help, disguised Taiping Chen as a farmer and cultivated land with him. Taiping Chen was not caught, and the Qing soldiers didn't stop there, so they sent more soldiers to set up posts in the village, and everyone who left the village had to be inspected to prevent them from bringing food to Taiping Chen. When he got home, the farmer slipped on a clump of wormwood and was thinking about what to bring to Taiping Chen. When he got up, he saw that his hands and knees were stained with green. He immediately took care of it, quickly picked some wormwood and went home, washed it, boiled it, squeezed it into glutinous rice flour and made it into zongzi. Then put the green jiaozi in the grass and mix with the sentry at the village entrance. Taiping Chen ate this green ball and felt fragrant, waxy and non-sticky. After dark, he bypassed the Qing army post and returned to the base camp safely. Later, Li Xiucheng ordered the Taiping Army to learn to be a youth league to defend itself against the enemy. The custom of eating dumplings spread.
However, the good times did not last long. It is really puzzling that these youth groups, which were originally favored by people, ended up dead. There is no custom of eating dumplings in Tomb-Sweeping Day in many places.
