The moral of eating Huang Wu on Dragon Boat Festival is to drive away bad luck and improve the spirit.

The fifth day of May is the Dragon Boat Festival every year. It is said that the sunshine is the most abundant at noon that day. Eating Huang Wu at this time can drive away evil spirits and bad luck, and at the same time can improve people's vitality. Therefore, during the Dragon Boat Festival, the ancients would eat Huang Wu at noon. Huang Wu mainly refers to yellow croaker, eel, salted egg yolk, cucumber and realgar wine.

This traditional custom has been passed down from ancient times to the present. During the Dragon Boat Festival, many areas still retain the custom of eating Huang Wu.

Dragon Boat Festival mainly eats traditional food:

1 Zongzi

On the Dragon Boat Festival, in memory of the great poet Qu Yuan, everyone will eat zongzi. Zongzi has different tastes and shapes in different areas, and its taste will be different. For example, southerners like to eat salty zongzi, such as meat zongzi and salted egg yolk zongzi. Northerners prefer to eat sweet zongzi, such as red bean zongzi and candied jujube zongzi.

2. salted duck eggs

When cooking zongzi during the Dragon Boat Festival, a few salted duck eggs will be put in it. Cooking salted duck eggs with zongzi will not only make salted duck eggs more oily and delicious, but also make salted duck eggs filled with the fragrance of zongzi leaves, which will be particularly delicious. Therefore, in addition to eating zongzi, the Dragon Boat Festival will also eat salted duck eggs.

3.lamb cake

Ciba is also eaten in many areas during the Dragon Boat Festival. Ciba is actually made of glutinous rice, but it needs constant beating when it is made, so that the glutinous rice will become softer and softer. Ciba can be sliced, fried in oil pan, and then eaten with brown sugar juice or white sugar, which is especially delicious.
