What traditional food does Tomb-Sweeping Day eat? What traditional food should Tomb-Sweeping Day eat?

1, moisten cake dishes

Every time in Tomb-Sweeping Day, Quanzhou people have the custom of eating "cake-moistening dishes". It is said that this is the legacy of the ancient Cold Food Festival. Quanzhou's "cake-moistening dish" is baked with flour into thin skin, commonly known as "cake-moistening" or "cake-smearing". Spread out the skin when eating, and then roll in shredded carrots, shredded pork, fried clams, kohlrabi and other mixed dishes. It is simple to make and tastes sweet and delicious.

2, green onion egg cake

Many families in Tomb-Sweeping Day and Qingdao eat green onions and egg rolls, which means cleverness. This custom has continued to this day. In addition, in the old days, there were people in Qingdao who wanted to knead dough flowers, called "steamed Xiaoyan" and eat white-flour chicken and eggs. It means that the swallow has come and the real spring has come. On a clear morning, the whole family must eat eggs and white-flour chicken, so as not to get sick because of bright eyes. Many students will bring eggs to their teachers to show their admiration.

3, black barnyard grass (rūn) rice

In addition, regarding the Qingming diet custom, we can't help but mention the "black rice" of the She nationality, because eastern Fujian is the settlement of the She nationality. On the third day of March every year, every household of the She nationality cooks "black rice" and presents it to relatives and friends of the Han nationality. Over time, the local Han people also have the custom of eating "black rice" in Tomb-Sweeping Day. Especially in Kurong County, people sacrifice "black rice" every year, which shows that China has been a big family where all ethnic groups live in harmony since ancient times.
