First, taste the origin
When we think about what life is really beautiful, we may not find the answer.
If you ask the villagers living in Doumen how they view the good life, their answer may not want to be rich and prosperous, but to live happily every day.
Immersed in life, we are always anesthetized in the bland, it is difficult to perceive the real beauty. Just like those who live in Doumen, they just follow the rhythm of nature at their own pace every day, greet the sunrise and sunset, cultivate the land, drink tea, fish, cook, paint... Maybe they don't know they're immersed in the beauty we yearn for. True beauty is not a gorgeous appearance, not a pompous form, nor a deliberate accommodation, but a natural interpretation. Doumen is like this, so beautiful and low-key, so beautiful and relaxed.
Second, natural oxygen bar
The Doumen area has beautiful peaks, warm climate, abundant grass and trees, rich products, fresh and pleasant air, and a huge natural oxygen bar. The rich waters and vegetation are the "green lungs" of the giant oxygen bar of Doumen, which is constantly breathing deeply to purify the air, and also provides a good place to rest. So, come to Doumen and enjoy a healthy "forest bath"!
Tips：
* Natural oxygen bar: Oxygen bar refers to the place where people inhale oxygen. Natural oxygen bar refers to the oxygen bar formed under natural conditions, mostly referring to places with dense vegetation and high negative ion content
* Forest bathing: You've heard of sea bathing and sunbathing, but you may never have heard of forest bathing. The so-called forest bathing, is that people go to the forest to breathe fresh and natural air, soak up the sun, relax the spirit, and at the same time through appropriate activities, such as walking in the forest, closing their eyes to recuperate, taking a long breath or singing........ Fully feel the atmosphere and atmosphere in the forest, accept the baptism of the forest, and experience the endless life of life.
Third, the depths of nature swim freely

Tea field tucui
To the Yellow Poplar Mountain can not not go to jintai temple, but before climbing the temple, you can first go to the left slope of the temple to see a large area of tea fields, due to the perennial cloud cover in the mountain, the tea leaves are tender and fragrant, the most greasy, relieve the heat and itch. Trapped in its green and green, connected into one piece, the literati yashi referred to it as "tea field Tucui".
Jintai Waterfall
After admiring the tea fields, you can also go to the other side of the Jintai Temple to watch the waterfall, where a peak protrudes, two stones flow, soaring down, hundreds of feet non-stop, the waves back to whirlpool, like a white horse rushing away. Looking up in the rain, it is more like a silver flower flying, a spectacular buckle. The spring water under the waterfall is sweet and refreshing, and it is called "fairy water". Bathing in this water cures eczema, which soaks the meat and steames it to be crispy and smooth.
Jintai Jingshe
Jintai Temple is located at the peak of Huangyang Mountain, which is a must-visit place to visit Huangyang Mountain. Inside the temple, the clouds and fog are united, the incense is flourishing, and the endless stream of believers come here to worship the Buddha. And the scenery here is beautiful, which attracts more people to visit and relax here.

Mirror around the sea
The yellow poplar mountains are full of strange stones, the grass is verdant, there are not too many tall trees to cover it, and the line of sight is very good. But climbing The Yellow Poplar Mountain is still difficult and challenging. Climbing the first peak of Huangyang Mountain, you can see the sea on all sides, surrounded by the whole mountain, overlooking Zhuhai, Macao, Zhongshan, Taishan, Yamen and other places. Whenever the breeze comes, the water waves are not happy, and the electric boats and sailboats race against each other.
There are many beautiful views of Huangyang Mountain, in addition to this tour route, you can also visit the First Stone Gate, Zhang Shijie's tomb and other places. Every place can give you a different scenery.
Fourth, the "Whampoa Military Academy" of China Hot Springs --- Royal Hot Springs

It is the largest provincial forest park in Doumen District with the best forest preservation, and it is also a primitive forest park integrating tourism, sightseeing and leisure.
The park is hilly, deep in valleys, complex ecological environment, very suitable for tropical and subtropical plants to live and reproduce. Therefore, the park is green and green all year round, and the brocade is embroidered.

The beauty of the landscape lies in the natural nature, if you have a heart to return to the truth, you may wish to find a week, about three or five confidants, to the peak of the mountain to walk.
Sixth, a hundred years of prophecy feng shui treasure land - lotus land
Speaking of the origin of the "lotus land", it is also recalled that more than 100 years ago, a famous feng shui master passed through the white banana, saw that this place was surrounded by mountains on all sides, like a large lotus in full bloom, the two waterways in the east and west, namely the Yellow Poplar River, the Modaomen River, and just like the stems of two lotus flowers, it was determined that the white banana was a lotus land of "Guanyin Sitting Lotus", a feng shui treasure blessed by Guanyin Bodhisattva, and predicted: After 100 years, the white banana must be a prosperous economically developed area. If you stand in the middle of the Jing'an Bridge and look around, you will be surprised to see how unique the vision of the feng shui master is.
Coincidentally, hundreds of years ago, Liu Bowen, a famous military expert of the Ming Dynasty and a feng shui scientist, once again inspected the south. Seeing the two isolated islands opposite the Lantern Mountain and the White Vine Mountain in Baijiao Town, they are like two biological brothers who cannot bear to be separated, looking at each other affectionately across the sea and wishing each other well, and according to the principles of metaphysics, he once made a prophecy that "the lantern has fire, and the white vine has a city". "Fire" has two meanings: fishing fire or human habitation; "city" also has two meanings: "city or city road business".
The current Baijiao Town is connected to lianzhou town in the agricultural ecological protection zone by land and water in the north, Jing'an City, the bustling economic and cultural center of Doumen in the west, and Baiteng Lake Tourist Area, the first farmer's resort in the country, in the south.
Seven, the deep well stone temple immortal tree - dragon altar three qi
There are three legends in Longtan Village, Doumen Jing'an Town, which are known as the "Three Wonders of the Dragon Temple", which attracts tourists from all over the world to visit it. What exactly are the three wonders in the Dragon Temple, and where is the qi?
The first odd is called "ishii stream chaff" by the villagers. The Hedoushan Mountain Range behind Longtan Village has a 100-acre nest called Goose Pond. Gather the surrounding landscapes and cascade down the mountain canyon to a waterfall of 60 meters. The strange thing is that there is a square well at the waterfall, called the stone well, the depth of this well is unpredictable, the water flows through the whirlpool, and there is an undercurrent under the well If the chaff is put into the wine, it will soon flow out somewhere downstream 1500 meters away. The well has now been intercepted by the Longjing Reservoir.
The second strange is a stone ancestral hall, said to be an ancestral hall, in fact, it is a stone cave at the southern foot of Hedu Mountain, entered by the stone cave entrance, the center is wide and gloomy, can accommodate a hundred people to sit, so it is called the stone ancestral hall, and then there is an exit leading to the bottom of the mountain. In the 1940s, it was also a place where guerrilla groups gathered and discussed in the Doumen area.
The third wonder is an immortal tree. On the right side of the Ancestral Hall of the Dragon Temple there is an ancient otter tree, as hard as iron, with a diameter of more than fifty centimeters. According to the eighty or ninety-year-old man in the village, this tree has been so thick and so thick when they were children, for decades, they have not seen it grow and have not withered, every winter there are groups of magpies gathering branches, there is a tree hole in the trunk that can accommodate a person, children can play hide-and-seek in it More interesting is in the last century, in the fifties and sixties, there were shipyards, wooden yards, to buy this woody tree, how many times the manufacturers sawed with big saws and small saws, and they could not see into half an inch, and they had no choice but to do so. There are many strange things in the ancient village, and it seems that in Longtan Village, it is a good place to explore the ancients.
VIII. The Story of Cong Shan [Legend]
Su Congshan martyr, a native of Doumen County, Zhuhai. Originally named Su Songshan, he changed his name to "Congshan" after getting acquainted with Sun Yat-sen, showing that he followed Sun Yat-sen's revolution. During the period of courtship with Yuan, Sun Yat-sen accompanied the guards from the mountains whenever he went to Hong Kong, and sometimes used his own medical office as a liaison meeting place. In September 1917, Sun Yat-sen organized a military government in Guangzhou to prepare for the Northern Expedition. Respond from the mountain and move the family. Sun Yat-sen, believing that the Humen Fort was in disrepair, sent Congshan to Humen to repair the fort, recruited Taiwanese soldiers, and agreed from the mountain. At the time of the Northern Expedition's revival, the financing was difficult, and the Hong Kong industry was sold from Shannai, and the proceeds were fully used to repair the forts and recruit a group of Taiwanese soldiers. After the completion of the project, Congshan was appointed by Sun Yat-sen as the commander of Cheung Chau Fortress.
In June 1922, Chen Jiongming rebelled, and the Northern Expeditionary Army returned to the marshal to fight. In February 1923, due to the improper coordination between the Dian army and the Gui army, which was the main attacker, the battle was ineffective, and the siege could not be broken for several months, Sun Yat-sen decided to use aircraft to airdrop high explosive mines to attack the city, and Congshan also participated in the matter. On September 20, two 500-pound iron-hulled mines and four 1-200-pound mines were hung on a seaplane at the Baisha Dui River in Huizhou. Unfortunately, during the test, the mine exploded and died on the spot from the mountain, and at the same time, Yang Xianyi, director of the Aviation Bureau, Xie Tieliang, director of the Navy Torpedo Bureau, and Ma Ruilin and Wu Guzhi, pilots of returned overseas Chinese, were martyred. Sun Yat-sen was very sad to hear the news, and instructed sanwanggang on the north side of the Huanghuagang Seventy-Two Martyrs Cemetery to build a majestic cemetery for the five martyrs, and built a metal airplane model on the top of the tomb door to commemorate the old.
9. Surido Hall - Footprints of the Old Days
The ruins of this ancient village are scattered throughout the village, telling the history of the past, the most eye-catching of which is the Singing Hall. Founded in the fifth year of Ming Jingtai (1454), the Hall was built by Zhao Long, a fifteenth-generation descendant of Kuangmei the Prince of Wei, the brother of Zhao Kuangyin, the grandfather of the Song Dynasty, in honor of his great-grandfather Menan. There are a large number of carvings in the building, stone carving, brick carving, wood carving, ceramic sculpture, clay sculpture and other exquisite techniques, making people dizzy. The walls of the ancestral hall were made of thousands of shells. "Draining" is breathtaking. In addition, the surrounding walls are also painted with a number of paintings and calligraphy based on the landscape literati Moke Qinqi, which are very fresh and elegant.
The delicious taste of consumption has long been known, but the "wall of consumption of shells" is little known. The reason why the temple is so impressive is that the walls of the ancestral hall are made of thousands of shells, which are full of "consumption". According to research, before the Ming Dynasty, shell-consuming walls may be a common way of building in the Pearl River Delta region. These shell-consuming walls, which have stood firm for five or six hundred years by wind and rain, carry the wind and frost of history and become the best witness of consumption culture.
10. Jiexiazhuang
Not far northwest of Nanmen Village, there is a New Wai Village of Zhao Weimao, a member of the Zhao clan, also known as Zhao Jiazhuang, which was founded in the Daoguang period from 1821 to 1850. Zhuangli has pavilions and pavilions, Lotus Pond Qu Bridge, outside the zhuang there is a moat, wall, bamboo forest sunflower forest, according to the direction of the five specially guarded entrance and exit gates, of which the main entrance faces Xiashan and Xiashan Ancestral Temple, so named "Jiexiazhuang", also known as "Jiexiali". Although the village has fallen today, walking through the village, you can still see the remains of many Zhuanghe bamboo forest garden houses, for people to imagine the time when "Zhao Jiazhuang fell into Xiangshan County".
11. Qing Dynasty Ancient Street - Doumen Old Street
Reluctantly bid farewell to Nanmen Village, it does not take long to drive to the ancient street of the Qing Dynasty in Doumen. It's a low-key old street that experiences the passage of time very self-inflicted. The ancient streets of the Qing Dynasty are like a dream paradise for lovers of architectural styles in the Republic of China. The old traces of Shenglan, Dachang, Xiangsheng, Guangyingxiang and other shops still exist, passing through the ancient streets of the Qing Dynasty, closing their eyes, and the scene of traffic and traffic is still vividly remembered.
12. Paishan Village
Continuing with the heart of historical exploration, we came to the legendary Paishan Village. The entrance is a bit private, and it takes a lot of effort to enter the village, which is quite a sense of paradise. Stepping into the village, I felt that the "Paishan Village" was worthy of the name. The rows of houses are orderly, and in the laneways of the stone village, touching these thick taxi walls, you can feel a quiet serenity. Along the way, the delicate wood-carved small windows mysteriously reveal a hint of wood fragrance, which makes people can't help but peek inside.
13. Wangshan Village
After stepping into the traces of several years, after being drunk, I am ready to return, but who knows that there are still quiet old traces waiting for us to go to Doumen, that is, Wangshan Village. The small wangshan village, not famous at all, like a "raised in the deep leap people do not know" of the big girl, now she is no longer young, more than two hundred years of time, quietly staying in place, waiting for people to explore the historical charm given to her by the times. Located in the northwest of Qianwu Town, this quiet ancient village has a history of more than 200 years and has more than 120 glutinous rice and sugar mud wall houses and green brick houses built in the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty. In The village, a series of well-preserved mud-walled houses stand quietly in the quiet laneways, bathed in the warm sunshine, simple and intimate. Surprisingly, most of these ancient houses are still inhabited by people, rather than being abandoned in the countryside.
In the evening, as the sun sets, we see the old ladies in Wangshan Village sitting on simple stone benches chatting about home, with children, a happy and harmonious scene. Shuttling through the ancient laneways, there is a sense of crossing, modern civilization and traditional culture, people can't help but think of it, lament the changes in the world, and reminisce about the past time. Years can change the appearance and corrode buildings, but some things will never pass away with the changes of the years, a hundred years as a day, and the past is also the present.
14. Zen Room QuietLy -- Jintai Jingsha
Jintai Temple is located in Huangyang Mountain, known as the "first peak of the Pearl River Gateway", and is a famous Buddhist temple in Zhuhai. Originally known as Jintai Jingshe, Jintai Temple was enthusiastically supported by Hong Kong and Macao compatriots and Buddhist disciples in Singapore, Malaysia and other places in 1992, and was rebuilt under the north peak of Huangyang Mountain. After more than ten years of construction, from the original barren hillside, it has become a religious holy place that has begun to take shape, with about 7,000 square meters of dashan gate, heavenly king hall, Daxiong treasure hall, tibetan scripture cabinet, bell and drum tower, monk's room, customer, Qi hall and other supporting building facilities.

The main body of the temple has three compartments: the middle is the Daxiong Treasure Hall, the east chamber is dedicated to the three relics of the Southern Song Dynasty, and the back seat is the Kuixing Pavilion and the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion on the second floor.
Fifteen, the source of ancient wells in the countryside is unique
In Doumen, ancient wells with a history of more than 100 years can be said to be all over the villages, and there are nearly 100 wells in these square or round mouths, and there are 23 in Nanmen Village. Although today, all villages use running water, and the well has completed its historical mission, in some villages, many old people still have a special love for the well, and still maintain the habit of washing, washing vegetables and chatting at the well.
Nanmen Village has a nanbian ligu well, which was built in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties and was rebuilt during the Tongzhi period of the Qing Dynasty. The reporter saw at the scene that this ancient well covering an area of about 20 square meters, the well platform due to the weathering of red sandstone and a hundred holes and thousands of scales, quite a sense of historical vicissitudes. Until now, villagers have carried water for washing. According to Liang Weiwen and Ou Daquan's compilation of the "Huangliang Du Fengwu", the south side of the ancient wellhead is made of two 1 meter 5 long, about half a meter wide "concave" glyph shaped granite slabs assembled, combined with swallowtail grooves, the bottom of the rectangular wellbore expands into an oval shape, the well depth of 4 meters, the water quality is sweet, is one of the ancient wells found in Doumen.
In addition, next to The Wind Middle School, there was once an ancient well that was famous for its water output. Not only is the water sweet, but it is warm in winter and cool in summer. At that time, the residents of Doumen Old Street came here every day to carry water to eat, and even the villagers of Dahaoyong and Da and Xiao Chikan, who were far away from the ancient well, also came to drink water, but unfortunately, it was later neglected to protect, and the ancient well was destroyed.
The ancient wells not only reveal the atmosphere of simplicity, but also witness the industrious and simple lifestyle of the villagers of the past generations, which is the best mark of the simple folk customs of Doumen.
Sixteen, from [water] to eternity - water marriage
Water marriage is a traditional Han folk custom that has been popular for hundreds of years in Doumen Water Town. After hundreds of years of vicissitudes and changes and the integration and precipitation of several generations, the unique folk customs of Doumen Water Town have been formed, the main feature of which is that the marriage process is complex and diverse, pay attention to etiquette, and have relatively fixed procedures and conventional ceremonial items. The main etiquette is "sitting in the high hall", "going up", "sighing sister", "flower boat greeting", "returning to the door" and so on. It is inseparable from the living water environment and has obvious "water" characteristics. Such as "flower boat greeting", worship to "ship Taigong", "Sea Dragon King" and so on. Third, it is inseparably related to Sha Tin folk songs.
Seventeen, let the drama float up - dry work drifting colors
Qianwu Town in Doumen is an ancient town with a history of more than 700 years and is also the hometown of folk culture and art in Guangdong Province. Among them, "Qianwu Drifting Color" is the most brilliant, which can be called a fine work of Qianwu folk art.
Qianwu drifting color is a folk traditional art that integrates drama, acrobatics and decorative skills, and the "color" of fluttering color is the meaning of "play", which can be understood as "fluttering drama". The "Color Heart" consists of two boys and girls between the ages of three or four and eleven or twelve, who are dressed up as characters from folk tales or historical allusions. This child should be beautiful, good at performing, but also bold and fearless, standing on a few meters high "color stick" can also look relaxed, innocent and lively.
Drifting color is a flowing stage, a kind of parade performance that crosses the streets and alleys. The color is divided into several categories. Performing on the water with boats and boats is called "floating color on the water", performing with a car and horse carrier is called "floating color on the horse", performing with a human shoulder and pushing on the land is called "floating color on the ground", and dry work is called "ground color". In the past, the dry work drift color was carried by human hands, but now it has been improved, and the pulley is installed under the "color bed", which saves a lot of effort, and it can also be said that it has evolved into a "car color".
In the past, there were only three dramas such as "Magpie Practice Plum", "Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea", and "Legend of the White Snake", but now many new ones have been created, such as "Yangmen Female General", "Journey to the West", "Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai". During the performance, the front is the awakening lion dancing golden dragon leaping, and the back is accompanied by eight-tone gong and drum cabinets, colorful flags and martial arts, which are lively and extraordinary, full of sound and color, and full of strong local characteristics.
Eighteen, eight-tone singing - gong and drum cabinet
When watching the folk art of Doumen , " Drifting Colors " , you will generally hear a simple and melodious accompaniment music , which is a famous folk music of Doumen - gong and drum cabinets. Gong and drum cabinet has a history of more than 300 years, its predecessor is called "eight sound team", is a music club spontaneously organized by various rural folk since the Ming and Qing dynasties. A music club with as few as seven or eight people, as many as thirty or forty people, usually playing and singing to entertain themselves, during festivals with the drifting color to participate in the art parade, there are invitations to red and white things also help to play. The gong and drum cabinet is a prop and representative of a music club.
Gong and drum cabinet, also known as "eight sound cabinet", the front of the cabinet is equipped with wooden bars for two people to carry the cabinet, the cabinet is equipped with small drums, gongs, brass drums, wooden fish and other percussion instruments. There are about 20 or 30 people in each team, and the musicians wear costumes during the performance, and slowly move forward under the guidance of Lu Chengpai. The performance is mainly based on chanting, and the blowing imitates the Cantonese opera sheng and Dan's plate cavity, accompanied by other instruments, showing specific dramatic scenes or playing brand songs.
The Doumen Gong and Drum Cabinet has a strong local atmosphere and a melodious and simple playing style. The exquisite carvings on the gong and drum cabinets are a combination of local folk traditional handicraft customs and auspicious and auspicious meanings, which is pleasing to the eye. To this day, the gong and drum cabinets are still creating an atmosphere for the festive activities in the local countryside, and they are also large-scale celebrations or foreign-related activities, festival tourist attractions, and the footprints of cultural exchanges have spread throughout Zhuhai's urban and rural areas, Macao, Heshan, Zhongshan, Shunde, Jiangmen and other places.
19. Son-in-law thirty-year-old mother sent [rich]
On the thirtieth birthday of the son-in-law, the grandmother (the Doumen region calls the mother-in-law the grandmother) sends a new pair of pants to the son-in-law. Why are pants instead of shoes? Quite simply, "pants" and "rich" in Cantonese are homophones, and "pants" and "rich" are close to "pants" in the Doumen dialect, so sending new pants is to wish the son-in-law's family a big "rich" and noble, "son" Sun Mantang, and a successful career. Spread the leaves.
However, why send it on the thirtieth birthday of the son-in-law, but not at the age of thirty-one, forty or fifty? It is said that this is also related to Confucius. "Table of Masters of All Ages" Confucius wrote in the Analects. In the "For The Government", it is said: "I have five out of ten, and I am determined to learn." Thirty and standing, forty and confused, fifty and knowing the destiny, sixty and obedient, seventy and from the heart. Not overstepping. Among them, "thirty and standing" means that people should rely on their own skills to take responsibility independently when they reach the age of thirty, and have determined their own life goals and development directions. Especially for men, at thirty o'clock should be an important turning point in determining the direction of their life's struggle. In a simple word, at the age of thirty, people should face all difficulties calmly. It can be seen from this that thirty years old is a very important stage of life, at this time the grandmother gives gifts to the son-in-law, which is a ardent expectation and great encouragement to the son-in-law.
In addition to the "protagonist" of the new pants, there are many "supporting roles". For example, the traditional frying heap --- Doumen is different from other places, there is no filling inside, and there is no peanut crushed, sesame seeds and so on outside. Instead, it is blown into the glutinous rice flour ball, so that it becomes a small ball, and then put it in hot oil and fry it until it is expanded into a fist-sized ball, which means that the circle is complete. The skin of the Doumen fried pile is soft and smooth, and the taste is crisp and soft, especially when it is just made, the taste is the best, so there is a saying of "overnight dumplings on the wok fried heap". The so-called "fried heap rutted, gold and silver full of houses", so the fried heap means rich and rich.
20. Sweet flowers are fragrant
Doumen Water Town is rich in a famous taxi specialty, it has a beautiful name, called "Flower Barnyard". Flower barley is similar to the common guava in the market now, but the flower barny is generally slightly smaller, after maturity, the skin color is yellow and transparent with a faint red, the aroma is very strong, it is no exaggeration to say that you can smell its aroma from 100 meters away, the taste of the flower barley is sweet and not greasy, the taste is smooth and sticky, and the teeth and cheeks are fragrant after eating.
In the 1950s and 1960s, many farmers in Doumen Water Township planted flowers and transported their own fresh flowers with leaves to the county seat or the markets of various towns. Every time the flowers of Doumen are ripe and the incense floats all over the city and countryside, the tourists of Doumen can feast on their mouths.
Regarding flower barley, there is also a beautiful custom in the water town. At that time, the young people in the water village talked about love and liked to choose the starry moonlit night to carry out secretly on the Flower River, which could not only enjoy the quiet and elegant nature of the wild, but also smell the rich fragrance emitted by the flowers on both sides of the river, and the sweet feelings grew unconsciously. It is said that the success rate of falling in love on the Hana minoru River is still quite high.
21. Unforgettable hometown taste - mugwort feelings
The taste of belonging to the hometown, almost everyone has their own answer, but if you ask about the Doumen people, there is a good chance that there is a special food, that is, mugwort.
Mugwort cake, also known as "ai fin", is the food of the local Hakka family in Doumen, named because the main accessory is taken from "wormwood". Wormwood is a plant of the Asteraceae family with a special aroma, and the leaf back has mugwort and has high medicinal value. The clever Hakka people are not only good at using wormwood to repel mosquitoes and cure diseases, but also make it into delicious mugwort cakes together with glutinous rice flour.
To make mugwort, you first have to collect wormwood. Every year, as soon as the spring has passed, the fields will be full of dots of wormwood popping up, and before and after the Qingming Dynasty, the growth is the most vigorous, the dense mugwort leaves are tender and green, thin and long like a key hanging upside down. If you look closely, the stem is covered with fine cotton hairs, and when you pull it with your hand, it is full of a trace of velvet, as white as frost.
At this time, the Hakka women took the children, collected a bush of verdant and tender wormwood from the field, after treatment, added water and glutinous rice flour together to rub, kneaded into small balls, wrapped in peanuts, sesame seeds and other fillings, kneaded into a green small rice dumplings, or put into a wooden "cake grid" pressed into shape, steamed with a pot in water, made into a unique flavor of mugwort cake. Steamed mugwort is a very popular seasonal specialty in the Doumen area with its fragrant aroma, sweet texture and rich filling.
Mugwort cake has a history of hundreds of years in Doumen, and now some villagers in the village of Doumen plant wormwood on their own land, which makes it more inconvenient to make materials and makes the folk specialty of mugwort better passed down.
Twenty-two, a bowl of tea, a touch of love --- Hakka salty tea
Hakka salty tea is derived from the tea. According to folklore, during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the general Ma Wrestling Army went south to fight, and when passing through the Guangdong-Xianggan Border Region, it was the middle of summer, and countless soldiers suffered from the plague that was prevalent in the local area, and an old man in the folk gave a family secret recipe, so that the villagers made tea with tea, ginger, sesame, peanuts, raw rice and other raw materials for the soldiers to drink, and the soldiers' condition quickly improved. With the many migrations of the Hakka family group, tea gradually formed different styles and genres. The Hakka salty tea in Baijiao Town, Doumen District, began to flourish during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty (1744), abandoning the meat food in the traditional tea and becoming the most distinctive tea culture in the local Hakka food customs.
The Southern Song Dynasty poet Huang Sheng once had a poem "Liver Fetal Clan House": "Two or three grass huts next to the road, see the guest beating hemp spiral foot tea." Describing the scene of tea beating, hundreds of years later, Huang Hanzong, the son of Lingnan in the Qing Dynasty, left a famous sentence describing Hakka salty tea: "Where to see the thick and thin people, see how many sesame seeds he has." "Enough to witness the long history and cultural status of Hakka salty tea." Even now, during the busy farming season, the Hakka family has toiled for a day and still hopes to drink a bowl of fragrant salty tea when they come home.
Drinking Hakka Sanhua also has a set of etiquette, when dividing tea, hold the tea bowl with both hands, first elders and then ordinary people, while respecting the side said: "My family's salty tea is good to eat", guests should reply after tasting salty tea: "Good food, good food." ”
As an important part of Hakka food culture, salty tea has been sung many times as the subject of poetry creation, and some of these salty tea songs have been passed down to this day. as:
In February, the tea sprouted, and the sister-in-law pulled the basket across the cliff,
To make salty tea to welcome the guests, speed up the pace and turn home.
Like strong tea and like soup, salty tea is delicious and more fragrant,
When you are thirsty, you don't have to panic when you are hungry.
Twenty-three, food - eating is also a kind of beauty, eating is even more a virtue
