What to eat at the Dragon Head Festival? Traditional food on February 2nd.

1, jiaozi. Some of jiaozi are shaped like gold ingots, while others are shaped like ears. On this day, dragons look up and eat jiaozi, which is called "eating dragon ears". "It's better to stand upside down than to be comfortable, and it's better to eat in jiaozi". On the day of "Dragon's Head Raised", we should pay attention to eating "jiaozi, a meat dish", that is, taking the homonym of "meat dish" as "rich", sending messages and speaking, which means that the financial resources in the New Year are rolling in.

2. Spring cakes. On that day in beginning of spring, we paid attention to eating spring cakes, but on February 2nd, we also paid attention to eating spring cakes. Eating spring cakes in beginning of spring is called "biting spring", and eating spring cakes on February 2nd is called biting "Longlin", which is named because the shape of spring cakes is round and thin like scales. The custom of eating spring cakes on February 2nd originated from the Qing Dynasty, which involved meat such as sauced elbows, pig heads, tea ducks and vegetables such as leeks, radishes and bean sprouts.

3, fried oil cake. In some areas such as Beijing and Tianjin, people have the custom of eating fried cakes during the Spring Festival, which is called "eating gentian". The fried cake is golden in color, which makes Gentiana macrophylla very vivid. The practice is to grind millet into yellow rice, and then grind yellow rice into flour, which is yellow wheat. Yellow rice cake made of yellow wheat has four characteristics: yellow, soft, thick and fragrant. There are two ways to eat, one is vegetarian cake and the other is fried cake.
