Why do you want to eat wonton to worship your ancestors in July and a half?
In addition to ancestor worship, eating wonton is also a must-have program for spending July and a half in rural areas in Jiangnan. There is a saying in the countryside that "bitter zongzi is sweet with wonton", which means that eating zongzi on the Dragon Boat Festival will start to make people suffer from the busy farming. By July and a half, when the silkworm cocoons have been harvested and the busy farming is over, people can treat themselves. In the past two years, with the improvement of living standards, villagers will invite or distribute their own wonton to show their friendship. Every year around July and a half, every household will clean the threshing floor at night, use well water to cool off the heat, move out of their own square table, invite neighbors to taste wonton together, and chat at home. "Don't forget your roots" is one of China's traditional virtues, so ancestor worship became the theme of July and a half. Aunt Chen, who lives in Xinmin Village, Qiao Feng Town, Nanhu District, told the reporter that in July and a half in rural areas in the south of the Yangtze River, people mainly worship their ancestors and eat wonton, and in some places, they will put lanterns on them.
