1. The origin of eating jiaozi in the Lantern Festival
jiaozi is eaten in the Spring Festival. First, because jiaozi is shaped like a treasure, people eat jiaozi in the Spring Festival to make money and enter the treasure. Second, jiaozi has stuffing, which is convenient for people to put all kinds of auspicious things into stuffing, so as to pin people's hopes for the new year. For example, eating jiaozi at midnight on New Year's Eve means making friends at a younger age, and when children are children, making friends with dumplings is homophonic, which means happy reunion and good luck. Eating jiaozi on the fifteenth day of the first month, of course, also means to celebrate the New Year. Eating jiaozi is a New Year's greeting, and eating Yuanxiao is round and round, full of beauty, and the new year must be sweet and smooth.
jiaozi is eaten in the north of China during the Spring Festival, and so is Shandong, except in different ways. Jiaodong eats four meals of jiaozi in New Year, the first meal in off-year, the second meal in the evening of 3, the third meal on the second day of the first month, and the fourth meal on the fifteenth day of the first month.
jiaozi can be divided into two factions, the north and the south, with different methods in terms of dumpling skin and stuffing.
Compared with jiaozi in the south, the thickness of dumpling skin in the north is 2-3mm, so it should be elastic when pulled up, smooth and smoky when eaten, and fragrant with flour is the top grade. When wrapping jiaozi, the edge should not be pleated, so that it will not be too thick when eating, and the gravy will not easily leak out. In terms of fillings, we should pay attention to the average proportion of vegetables and meat, and there should be vegetables and meat, with a ratio of one to one. Less vegetables are not fragrant enough, and more meat is too fat. The meat should be full enough, so that it won't spread easily.
to see whether the northern jiaozi is qualified, the first thing to look at is its appearance, which is full, balanced and in the shape of a treasure, so it is a qualified work with a lot of stuffing. In terms of eating method, the matching sauce in northern jiaozi is garlic vinegar juice, which can irritate the taste and eliminate stagnation. As for the bowl of jiaozi soup, it was only after eating jiaozi, but not in southern jiaozi. Because northerners believe that jiaozi is original only when boiled in water and eaten without soup. And eating jiaozi and drinking a bowl of jiaozi's original soup can help digestion.
2. Traditional food of the Lantern Festival
1. Tangyuan and Yuanxiao
2. Lettuce
Guangdong people like to steal lettuce and mix it with cakes to cook during the Lantern Festival. It is said that this kind of food represents auspiciousness. Cantonese people are calm and down-to-earth, and they have the best intentions for festivals. Lettuce, which is most commonly used in festive occasions such as the opening of new stores, is also an essential holiday item for the Lantern Festival. Lettuce, which often becomes a common vegetable in the southern dining table, is homophonic with the name of making money, so it is also regarded as a festive thing symbolizing wealth and good fortune.
3. Yuanxiao Tea
In Shaanxi and other places, there is a custom of eating Yuanxiao tea, that is, putting all kinds of vegetables and fruits in hot noodle soup, much like Yuanxiao porridge in ancient times. This tea increases the intake of cellulose, minerals and vitamins, and is not as greasy as ordinary Yuanxiao. It has a neutralizing effect on the acidic constitution caused by eating more animal food in festivals, and also makes Yuanxiao more comprehensive in nutrition.
4. Camellia oleifera
On the Lantern Festival night, the flat land is 15 flat and 16 yuan. One day you eat jiaozi and one day you eat Yuanxiao. In the mountains, there are fifteen dozen camellia oleifera and sixteen pinch flat food. It is the so-called ten miles different customs. Making tea is to stir the tea noodles with chopsticks to make camellia oleifera, also called noodle tea.
5. Oil hammer
In the Southern and Northern Dynasties, rice porridge or bean porridge with gravy was poured on the festive food of the Lantern Festival. However, this food is mainly used for sacrifices, and it is not a holiday food. It was not until the Tang Dynasty that Zheng Wangzhi's "The Record of the Chef" recorded that he went on a diet in the middle of the year and went to the Yuan oil hammer. The method of making an oil hammer is similar to the fried Yuanxiao of future generations, according to a record in Shangshi Order quoted from Taiping Guangji and Lushi Miscellanies. Some people call it the pearl of oil painting.
3. Origin of Lantern Festival
Experts say that the name of Yuanxiao, a food, is said to have appeared in the late Song Dynasty and early Yuan Dynasty because people used to eat it on the night of the Lantern Festival. Shangyuan Night is the first full moon night in the 15th month of the New Year. The full moon begins with a full moon in the sky, and people gather to eat Yuanxiao shaped like a full moon, which has a very subtle correspondence with natural phenomena. The moon and the stars are burning in the sky, and there are two yuanxiao in the sky, which expresses people's happy family reunion.
Yuanxiao is also called Tangyuan, and there are many other nicknames in the calendar, such as flour cocoon, pink fruit, Yuanbao, soup cake, round falling angle, etc. It was not officially named Yuanxiao until the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty.
4. Inheritance significance of Lantern Festival
Lantern Festival, also known as Lantern Festival, Yuanxi Festival and Shangyuan Festival, is marked on the 15th day of the first full moon of the year. It originated in the period of Emperor Wen of Han Dynasty, and has a history of more than 2, years. Judging from the traditional Spring Festival culture in China, Lantern Festival is only one of the important parts of the Spring Festival. The custom of the ancient Spring Festival in China lasted for one and a half months. The long Spring Festival had to go through three stages: preparing for the New Year, celebrating the New Year and celebrating the New Year. It was the Spring Festival from the 23rd lunar month to the Lantern Festival on the 15th day of the first month. If we compare the trilogy movement, the Lantern Festival, which is at the end of the Chinese New Year stage, is the high-tide cadenza of the China Spring Festival trilogy. Lantern Festival is regarded as the last high tide of the Spring Festival, because after this day, people really enter the new year's work, so people celebrate the Lantern Festival all over the country to pray for God to bless the good weather in the coming year.
The Lantern Festival has been passed down because of its cultural significance: reunion, harmony and the pursuit of freedom, which are all our aspirations and our beautiful expectations. The reason why every festival can be passed down is that it contains people's wishes and yearning for a better life. After the Dragon Boat Festival was registered as a world cultural heritage by Koreans, many Chinese people were very angry. Obviously, it was a traditional festival in China, but it was assigned to other places. Lantern Festival is rich in cultural connotation, and its culture has a long history. It is unique in the world folk culture. At present, the world dispute of folk festivals is getting more and more fierce. We must protect it well and pass it on well so as not to face the crisis of fault. The sense of historical mission shouldered by our new generation is the driving force to promote the inheritance and development of traditional festivals. We inherit not only the traditional festivals of our Chinese nation, but also the intangible cultural spirit of our Chinese nation.

The 15th day of the first month every year is the traditional Lantern Festival in our motherland. On that day, the flashing Kongming lanterns in the sky, the beautiful fireworks, the cheerful children on the ground and the adults with smiling faces all presented a festive atmosphere to people.
when we were sitting in the car and passing by the square, we saw a sea of people in the square, and there were waves of sweet laughter from time to time. I looked up and saw the dark sky with twinkling and fluttering stars, so that was the Kongming Lantern we put on. Looking at it, I slowly flew to the sky on the ground, as if I wanted to throw myself into the arms of Mother Sky as soon as possible. I really want to buy a Kongming Lantern now. My cousin sitting next to me said, to tell you the truth, I really want to put on Kongming lanterns. Besides, it's the first time I saw them, so I got off the bus and bought some colorful Kongming lanterns. Previous 1 2 Next Page
