What are the five reds of Nanjing Dragon Boat Festival?
In Jiangnan area, the traditional Dragon Boat Festival cuisine is "five reds" and "five whites". For example, there is a "Five Red and Five White Banquet" specially held for the old people in Wuxian Community of Jiangsu Province every year. People sit around, taste delicious food and celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival together.
Five Red actually evolved from Huang Wu. Huang Wu refers to eel, yellow croaker, duck egg yolk, cucumber and realgar wine. With the change of history, "Huang Wu" has evolved into "five reds": amaranth, roast duck, duck eggs, lobster and realgar wine. It is said that eating these five kinds of red on the Dragon Boat Festival can dispel summer heat and ward off evil spirits, and lead a rich and happy life.
1. Amaranth
Traditionally, eating amaranth can clean the stomach, which is called "Boda sausage" in the local dialect. This is probably related to "Amaranth is rich in dietary fiber" determined by modern science. Eating amaranth on Dragon Boat Festival means its tenacious vitality, and it can also clear away heat and toxic materials, eliminate dampness and stop dysentery.
: Roast duck is a famous food in China. Its color is bright and moist, its meat is tender, fat but not greasy. Known as "the best in the world", it enjoys a good reputation at home and abroad. On the eve of Dragon Boat Festival, the sales of roast duck in many cities in the south are three or four times as high as usual. Some people line up at the gate of the roast duck restaurant at four o'clock in the morning, and some famous shops sell more than 800 ducks a day.
2. Roasted duck
"Jia Qinglu" records: "Study realgar powder and crumb roots and drink them with wine, which is called realgar wine." In other words, realgar wine is blended with white wine and realgar. Why is such a simple drink so famous? This is probably related to the story of Bai Niangniang and Xu Xian. Bai Niangniang drinks realgar wine at Dragon Boat Festival, showing the snake's original shape. So people probably think that poisonous insects such as snakes, scorpions and centipedes can be cracked with realgar wine, and drinking realgar wine during the Dragon Boat Festival can exorcise evil spirits and detoxify people.

Lobsters enter the "five reds" in the shortest time. Since the 1970s, it has appeared on the dining table of Nanjing people, slowly replacing "fried shrimp" and becoming the new favorite of "Five Red". Lobster has a better amino acid composition than meat and is rich in fat-soluble vitamins.
Probably because it's gorgeous and charming. It seems that life is booming. Become one of the "five reds". During the festival every year, the price of crayfish in the south of the Yangtze River soared and people rushed to buy it.

As the saying goes, "Eat salted eggs first, jiaozi". After the Dragon Boat Festival, the weather turned hot, the climate was humid, and pests and bacteria were active. Eggs are shaped like a heart, and people think that eating eggs can keep the spirit from losing money. Although this is a legend, salted duck eggs are indeed the best calcium supplement food in summer. People not only like to suck the red oil of salted duck eggs on the dining table, but also like to tie colored ropes, put salted duck eggs in them and hang them on children's chests or wrists. Don't have fun.
