The traditional delicacies of the solar term are pears, eggs, fried beans, taro, pancakes and so on.

1. Pear

With the arrival of the solar term, everything in this solar term is revived, and the warm weather has just returned during the season of surprise. In addition to paying attention to cold protection and warmth, it is easy to make people thirsty and cough due to exogenous factors, so there is a custom of eating pears in China.

2. Eggs

There is a folk saying that people will eat eggs when they are startled. It is said that it is because the white tiger will be sacrificed on this day of fright, and the white tiger usually fangs its teeth and opens its mouth. Only when it is fed with eggs, it will not hurt people after it is full. After evolution, the eggs that were originally fed to the white tiger are now fed to people themselves.

3. Stir-fry beans

People soak soybeans in salt water and stir-fry them in a pot, making a crackling sound, which symbolizes the jumping sound of insects when they are heated and tortured in the pot.

4. Taro

Hakka people in southern Jiangxi and western Fujian want to cook hairy taro in hot water on this day of fright, which represents the elimination of various pests.

5. Pancakes

In some areas of Shandong, farmers burn pancakes in the courtyard on the day of fright, which means that the smoke kills the pests.
