Chapter 348 The Most Famous Cold Food During Qingming Festival (Subscribe)
"That's right, Zifu symbolizes family reunion and happiness!"

"Well, Zifu is food dedicated to the ancestors, but it is eaten by the family after the sacrifice."

"This is a steamed pastry. After the sacrifice, the pastry is threaded with wicker sticks, then taken back to dry and stored, and then fried in oil after Lixia. It seems to say that it is not easy to get summer diseases."

"Speaking of the food on Ching Ming Festival, how could there be no Qingtuan!"

"That's right, Youth League Youth League, my favorite!"

"What is the Youth League?"

"What is the Youth League? I haven't heard of it."

"Does the anchor know what the Youth League is?"

As for the Youth League, Li Yuan was actually not very clear about it, but one year during the Ching Ming Festival when he was in school, his classmates came back and got two for himself, and only then did he know about the existence of the Youth League.

And it's not just Li Yuan. In fact, many people in Northeast China don't know the food of Qingtuan.

Li Yuan: "It's not surprising that some people in the Youth League are relatively unfamiliar. In fact... I, a person from the Northeast, only knew about the existence of the Youth League a few years ago."

"Qingtuan should be a kind of food that is mixed with green juice and rice noodles, then wrapped with bean paste and jujube paste, and steamed with reed leaves on the bottom."

"The color of this kind of green ball is turquoise after steaming out of the cage, and the surface is smooth, a bit like the bean paste buns we usually eat."

"This is a very special seasonal food for Ching Ming Festival, a bit like... the rice dumplings for the Dragon Boat Festival."

"Is there anything the anchor doesn't understand?"

"The anchor is right, but not completely right. The fillings that Qingtuan said are actually not fixed, such as shredded radish, minced meat, mung beans, red beans, these are commonly used fillings for green juice."

"The juice commonly used in green juice is generally obtained from the sagebrush."

"That's right, sagebow grass, this thing can only be harvested in the fields every year before the Qingming Festival, and the green balls made from squirrel grass are full of fruity flavor!"

"Green moxa is also available, as well as brome grass juice, which can actually be used to make green balls."

"No, there are a lot of fillings in the green balls now, such as lard rose green balls, black foreign crispy green balls, golden needle ear fresh meat green balls, etc., all of which are salty."

"Salty? It doesn't taste good when you hear it."

"So...does cold food really have to be served on Qingming Festival? It's so troublesome..."

Li Yuan doesn't know much about the Youth League, but Li Yuan still knows some other seasonal foods that are similar to the Youth League.

"Cold food is actually just a way of expressing respect, and there are not so many sayings, but... I think that cold food on Qingming Festival is not as troublesome as everyone thinks."

"And it's not just Qingtuan, there are glutinous rice cheese, wheat cheese, almond cheese Yang, these are cold foods for Qingming Festival, and there is also a very traditional food called Qingjing Rice during the Hanri Festival in ancient times. "

"In ancient times, cold food picked poplar leaves and dyed the rice with blue color to offer sacrifices, and Ziyang Qi is also present. Now it has changed into green and white dumplings. This is the reason. This is also some food that can be used for Qingming Festival."

"Well, there are already many shops selling youth groups here."

“Youth Tuan is delicious!”

"I haven't heard of what the anchor said, so I don't know if it's good or not."

"I feel that the dim sum and pastries in ancient times are very delicate, and the taste must be unmistakable."

"No, it's just that there is no chance to taste it now."

"I don't care. If you can't eat the kind of food the anchor said, you can eat a little green ball! I highly recommend trying it. It tastes really good."

"There are fewer and fewer traditional festivals like this now."

"No, what about Christmas, Valentine's Day, Thanksgiving Day, and some foreigner's holidays are becoming more and more..."

"Yes, there are too many festivals for young people, many of which I have never even heard of."

"Hey, tell me, do foreign countries also celebrate our Ching Ming Festival and some traditional festivals?"

"Well, they don't have our history."

"That's right, Liu Yong is not their historical figure, what kind of Qingming Festival is celebrated!"

Li Yuan: "It's true that there is no Ching Ming Festival in foreign countries, but in foreign countries, many countries also have their own festivals to commemorate ancestors, but the time and name are different, and some countries even pay more attention to this festival than we do."

"Like Japan, they attach great importance to this festival. On this day, all agencies, organizations, factories, mines, and enterprises will have a holiday, and there will be organized sacrificial activities."

"In the countryside, the activity is even more lively, in every household."

"Even some people who live in urban areas will return to their hometowns to worship their ancestors in the cemetery. People who are far away from their hometowns will come back to participate if they can, and those who cannot return often entrust others to pay homage on their behalf."

"In Syria, it is also seen that May 5th, which begins every summer, is designated as the 'Martyr's Day'. This is also a legal holiday stipulated by their country, and the whole country attaches great importance to it. Lay wreaths on the monuments of martyrs, visit graves of martyrs, and condolences to the families of martyrs.”

"It's also like the 'Day of the Dead' held every spring in Poland to commemorate the dead."

"On the day of the festival, people go to visit graves, hold ceremonies for the tombs, and light candles. Some people come with the whole family, even children. And the elders in the family will light candles for the dead. Let the children present it to express the memory of the deceased, so as to educate future generations not to forget the ancestors."

"There are also foreign

Tanzania mourns September 9 as the 'Mourning Day'.On this day, people go to the cemetery to lay flowers and visit the grave.National leaders also went to the cemetery to participate in grave sweeping activities, and laid wreaths at the Monument in Independence Square to express their condolences to the martyrs. "

"Tomb-sweeping Festival on November 11, every family visits the graves of the dead."

"And they will also prepare special 'dead bread', skull-shaped candies, as well as the food, tobacco and alcohol that their deceased relatives love, as sacrificial offerings."

"And after the ceremony, the whole family spreads cloths in front of the tomb, sits on the ground, lights candles, eats, drinks, and sings and dances as a vigil all night long."

"There is also All Souls' Day on November 11st, and Tunisian Grave Sweeping Day on September 1st, also known as Heroes' Day, to commemorate the martyrs who died in the struggle for independence."

"There are also some Southeast Asian regions that have a unique clan hall culture, and its formation is closely related to our tradition of ancestor worship during the Ching Ming Festival."

"I'll go, so many places celebrate Qingming Festival?"

"I didn't know it before, but I found out after being told by the anchor..."

"Overseas also attach great importance to Qingming Festival!"

"Didn't the anchor say it all? People don't call it Ching Ming Festival."

"The meaning is the same, what's the difference?"
