Dietary customs are different in different parts of Tomb-Sweeping Day. As a favorite Sichuanese, what does Sichuanese Tomb-Sweeping Day eat? I'd like to introduce you to what food to eat in Tomb-Sweeping Day, Sichuan.
What food does Sichuan Tomb-Sweeping Day eat?
1: CaoBaba
Qingming Caoba is located in the east and south areas of Yibin. The practice of Qingming Caoba is similar, but the parts of Qingming Caoba used are quite different. Yibin city is the dividing line, and the tender leaves of Qingming grass are used in the east, and the Baba made is green; Yellow flowers are used to the west, and the Baba made is yellow. I, on the other hand, combined the practice of east and west, using half of leaves and flowers, although the color is green with yellow, but the fragrance is similar to the other two.
In fact, this grass cake, with only the Qingming grass, can't produce that fragrance, and there are no shortage of wild bitter and bacon. The smell of Qingming grass itself is not fragrant, and it can't touch the word "fragrance". I specially smelled it when I made it, and it has a very astringent smell. Strangely, as soon as I joined the wild bitter, the astringency immediately turned into an attractive fragrance. Then there is bacon, which is absolutely delicious when mixed with bacon, wild bitter herb and Qingming grass. If any of these three materials is missing, then this Baba is nothing to eat, so don't call it CaoBaba.
2: Happy Group
The Happy Group is also called the Sugar, Oil and Fruit Happy Group. In Chengdu, Sichuan, there is a group made of glutinous rice in Tomb-Sweeping Day, which is worn with thread, big or small, and stained with various colors. It is called the "Happy Group". In the old days, it was sold all the way outside the north gate of Chengdu to the "Happy Temple". There is a poem in Miancheng Zhuzhi Ci in Qing Dynasty: "There is a happy group in front of the' Happy Temple', and buying food in the spring suburbs is full of worries. The village drama is more beautiful than Jin Sheng, and many people are drunk. "

Origin of Tomb-Sweeping Day
The legend of meson push
According to legend, during the Spring and Autumn Period, Zhong Er, the son of Jin Dynasty, went into exile to escape persecution. On the way to exile, in a deserted place, I was tired and hungry, and I could no longer stand up. After searching for a long time, I couldn't find anything to eat. When everyone was extremely anxious, I went to a secluded place with Jiezi Tui, cut a piece of meat from my thigh and cooked a bowl of broth for the childe to drink. Zhong Er gradually recovered his spirit. When Zhong Er found that the meat was cut off from his leg by Jiezi Tui, he was moved to tears.
Nineteen years later, Zhong Er became a monarch, that is, Jin Wengong in history. After he acceded to the throne, Wen Gong rewarded the hero who accompanied him in exile at the beginning, but forgot meson push. Many people complain about meson, and advise him to admire him. However, meson most despises those who strive for merit. He packed his bags and quietly went to Mianshan for seclusion with his old mother.
When Jin Wengong heard this, he was so ashamed that he personally took someone to ask Jietui, but Jietui had left home for Mianshan. Mianshan Mountain is high and dangerous, with dense trees. It is hard to find two people. Someone offered a plan to burn Mianshan Mountain from three sides and force a meson to push it out. The fire burned all over Mianshan, but there was no sign of meson push. After the fire was extinguished, people found that meson push carrying his old mother had sat under an old willow tree and died. Jin Wengong said, wailing. During the burial, I found a skirt in the hole in the tree, which read: "I wish my Lord would always be clear." To commemorate meson tui, Jin Wengong ordered that this day be designated as Cold Food Festival.
In the second year, Jin Wengong led his ministers to climb the mountain to pay homage. When he found that the old willow was dead and resurrected, he gave it the title of "Qingming Willow" and told the world that the day after the Cold Food Festival was designated as Tomb-Sweeping Day.
Dietary taboos in Tomb-Sweeping Day
Moldy sugarcane can't be eaten.
There is a saying called "Qingming sugarcane is more poisonous than snake", which means that some sugarcane is prone to mildew due to the rising temperature before and after Qingming, and trinitropropionic acid will be produced in such sugarcane. And less than 0.5 grams of this toxin can make people show signs of poisoning. The onset of moldy sugarcane poisoning is urgent, and the incubation period varies from 10 minute to several hours.
Therefore, if the sugarcane is found to be moldy, red hearts appear inside, or brown, blue-black, and has an unpleasant smell, it must not be eaten. The so-called freshly squeezed sugarcane juice on the market should not be drunk if it is uncertain whether the sugarcane used is moldy or not. However, sugarcane in Tomb-Sweeping Day can still be eaten normally as long as it is fresh and not spoiled.
Contaminated wild vegetables can't be eaten.
It is very common for people to pick some wild vegetables on the way during the Qingming Festival when they are hiking and going to the grave to worship their ancestors. Wild vegetables have high nutritional value and are highly sought after in recent years. However, not all wild vegetables are edible, and some wild vegetables are poisonous. Those wild vegetables that are polluted by roads and sewage may contain heavy metals such as lead and mercury or other pollutants, which will lead to poisoning if they are picked by mistake.
Youth League is not edible for everyone.
Naturally, there is no shortage of green balls in Qingming cold food, including sugar skin, green skin and white skin. The main ingredients are wormwood and glutinous rice, which is difficult to digest. People with poor gastrointestinal function should be careful, especially patients with diseases such as pancreatitis, gastritis, cholecystitis and gallstones, as well as the elderly and children.
Do not eat snails if they are not properly cleaned.
In the Qingming period, the snail was plump and plump, and the people gave it the reputation of "Qingming snail is better than goose". However, when eating snails, it should be noted that the snail grows in a dirty place and contains a lot of parasites, which is easy to cause cholera, hepatitis A and other intestinal diseases. Therefore, eating snails must be cleaned.
