Qingming Festival, also known as the Ancestor Festival and the Qingqing Festival, is not only an important sacrificial festival in the mainland, but also a natural solar term. Although the customs of the north and south of the mainland are different, the meaning of the Qingming Festival is the same, which is to remember the deceased relatives, pay homage to the ancestors, and pray for the blessing of peace and auspiciousness for future generations. Therefore, on the day of Qingming Festival, no matter how busy you are, you must find time to do 1 important thing, eat 3 Qingming foods, and don't lose the old tradition!
Qingming does 1 thing: worship ancestors and sweep tombs
On the day of the Qingming Festival, whether in the north or south, sweeping the tomb and worshiping the ancestors is the most important thing on this day. According to traditional customs, people go to sweep the tomb in the morning, wipe the tombstone, offer flowers, place tributes, and then offer incense and prayers to send nostalgia for their ancestors.
Qingming eats 3 kinds
One, eggs
Eating eggs on the Qingming Festival is called "festival eggs", which is as important as eating zongzi during the Dragon Boat Festival and eating the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. Folk customs believe that eating eggs on this day means having a good body in a year, and it also symbolizes reunion.
In ancient times, eggs were praised as a symbol of fertility and life, and eating eggs during Qingming meant that life was renewed and children and grandchildren would get ahead.
Preparation of braised tea eggs:
1. Wash the eggs, cook them in the pot, take them out to cool, peel them and set aside
2. Add more black tea, soy sauce, salt, and thirteen spices to the pot, and cook for 10 minutes until the flavor is thick and the color is dark red, then turn off the heat
3. Put the peeled eggs in the pot, cover and simmer overnight
Second, the Youth League
Whenever the Qingming Festival is coming, the most common thing in the supermarket is the Qingtuan of various flavors, and it can be said that the Qingtuan is one of the most representative Qingming Festival foods. Qingtuan, made of glutinous rice flour and wormwood juice, has a soft and glutinous taste, and has a fragrance of wormwood, which is a delicacy that adults and children like.
To prepare the salted egg yolk and meat floss stuffed with Qingtuan:
1. Wash and chop the fresh wormwood, put it in the wall breaker and add a small amount of water to make juice. Pour in glutinous rice flour and knead into a dough
Roll the dough into long strips and knead into an equal-sized piece. Take the medicine and pinch the dimple, put in the salted egg yolk and meat floss filling, seal it, and form a circle
3. Wrap the upper drawer of the Qingtuan, boil over high heat, steam for 18 minutes after steaming, and turn off the heat
Three, crepes
After sweeping the tomb on the Qingming Festival, it is necessary to eat pancakes, which is a custom left over from the previous cold food festival, and the custom of eating pancakes is still passed down to this day. The pancakes are thin and chewy, and they are fragrant when rolled up.
To prepare the crepes:
1. Dumpling flour or high-precision flour, add a little salt and mix well, then add water and stir into a flowing batter, stir until it is delicate and lumpy-free
2. Preheat the electric baking pan with a little vegetable oil, scoop in the batter, and spread it thinly
