The symbolism of eating green dumplings on Qingming Festival:

1, remembering ancestors: in ancient times, it was said that within three days of the Qingming Festival, you could not start a fire to cook, so we used the Qingming Festival's unique mugwort juice and flour inside the production of the green dumplings. The steamed green dumplings are fragrant with mugwort, which is both delicious and filling, and are left for a longer period of time, so this custom has been passed down to the present day.

2, looking forward to reunion: the green dumplings in the word "dough" also means reunion, so eat green dumplings in the Qingming Festival is also a symbol of the meaning of family reunion.

3, get blessing: Qingming Festival will prepare a variety of food to worship ancestors, and the green dumplings in these offerings can not be missing. Then the food will not be thrown away after the sacrifice is completed, because in the Chinese concept, after the sacrifice of food if eaten, it will be blessed by the ancestors.
