Eating Youth League on Qingming Festival.

As a traditional delicacy in the Jiangnan area, Qingtuanzi is one of the representative foods of the Qingming Festival. Qingtuanzi is made of glutinous rice flour and mugwort, usually wrapped with sweet fillings such as lotus seeds and bean paste, and sometimes with salty fillings. The glutinous rice flour is very sticky, and the green dumplings wrapped into it have a delicate texture and are very chewy. Coupled with the fragrance of mugwort, the taste is unforgettable.

It is bright green, waxy and soft, with a light but long grass aroma, and it is even more fragrant and smooth when eaten in the mouth. Qingtuan is made from green mugwort and glutinous rice flour and filled with bean paste. It can be stored for 3 to 5 days, thus meeting people's needs for sacrifice and eating without cooking. The Youth League has been developing until now, and its function as a sacrifice has become increasingly diluted, and it is more about bringing people a taste of new things.

The Qingming Festival has a long history, originating from the ancestral beliefs and spring festival customs of early humans. According to the research results of modern anthropology and archeology, the two most primitive beliefs of mankind are the belief in heaven and earth and the belief in ancestors.
