Traditional cuisine in Tomb-Sweeping Day

1. Youth League

Youth League was one of the must-eat foods in Tomb-Sweeping Day, which has been handed down from ancient times to the present. In fact, the green dumplings are similar to the dumplings you usually eat, but wormwood juice will be added to the green dumplings when they are made, and the steamed dumplings are cyan, so they are called green dumplings. In ancient Tomb-Sweeping Day, people ate green balls, which was also called eating cold food. So now, although it is impossible for people to eat cold food when they are in Tomb-Sweeping Day, the Youth League will continue to eat it, in order to preserve the traditional food culture and customs in China.

2. Toona sinensis buds

Toona sinensis buds are young leaves that grow on Toona sinensis trees. Every year, Toona sinensis buds can be picked and eaten at the beginning of March, and by the middle of April, there are basically no Toona sinensis buds, so its eating time is very short. Tomb-Sweeping Day is just the last time to eat Toona sinensis buds, so everyone will seize this time to taste this delicious food. Toona sinensis bud is very simple to make. It is usually used to cook soup or scrambled eggs. It has a special aroma when eaten. For some people who like to eat Toona sinensis bud, this aroma is really irresistible.

3. Ciba

In many areas, Ciba is a traditional food that people eat when they are in Tomb-Sweeping Day. Ciba is similar to the rice cakes that people usually eat, and it is also made of glutinous rice flour, but it is very soft and glutinous. Ciba is hard when it gets cold. Cut it into pieces and fry it in the oil pan. It is very soft and delicious, and it is especially delicious when dipped in white sugar or red juice.

4. Snails

Snails are definitely indispensable in the Qingming season in the south. In fact, Tomb-Sweeping Day eats snails mainly according to its season. Although snails can be found all year round, snails in Tomb-Sweeping Day are the most plump, tender and clean. After this time, the meat quality and taste are relatively not so good. So everyone will eat some snails when they are in Tomb-Sweeping Day, and taste the delicious food only in Tomb-Sweeping Day.

Precautions for Qingming Walking

1. Observe the weather in advance

Pay attention to the weather changes one week in advance. When it is found that the weather is sultry and the humidity is obviously increased, this situation indicates that there may be rain in the near future, so whether to travel or not should be considered.

2. Do what you can

It's better to go out in the suburbs for a spring outing, and it's no more than two days' journey at most. Going for a long spring outing, traveling by boat and tired, is not conducive to health and reduces interest. In addition, to supplement various nutrients, you can't forget to return, causing excessive fatigue. If you have symptoms such as palpitation, fatigue, sweating, dizziness, etc., you should rest as soon as possible and avoid reluctance.

3. Wear appropriate clothes

In spring, the climate is changeable, and it is warm and cold at first, so take enough clothes to prevent catching a cold. Shoes should be light, heel-less, non-slip and highly elastic sports shoes, and the size should be appropriate, so as not to affect blood circulation, and to prevent toe crushing and numbness and discomfort of the soles. At the same time, you can prepare to wear goggles and sunglasses.

4. Pay attention to diet and health care

When you are in spring, your physical strength is greater, and you need more energy and various nutrients in your body, so the diet during the outing is the focus of health care.

5. Pay attention to the choice of places

Walking in the spring should be in fields, lakes, parks, forest areas, mountains and other places, so as to absorb more negative ions of "air vitamins" and play a role in strengthening the brain, driving away fatigue and invigorating the spirit.

6. Prevent insect and snake bites

Spring is the season when everything recovers, and it is also the season when hibernating snakes come out of their holes and all kinds of insects breed. If you are accidentally bitten by a snake, you must perform ligation near the heart in time to prevent toxic blood from flowing to the heart and the whole body. If you have ignition equipment (such as lighters or matches), quickly (within 1-2 minutes) burn the wound for 1 seconds and then rinse it with clear water to prevent the spread of venom and send it to qualified medical institutions for treatment as soon as possible. If you are accidentally bitten by an insect, don't ignore it, let alone scratch it. Instead, you should immediately apply wind oil or dermatitis-equal glucocorticoids. After being bitten by caterpillars, spiders, bees, scorpions, etc., you should apply cold compress.

7. Prevent accidents

When you go for a walk in the spring, you should try to avoid taking steep paths and don't climb mountain rocks alone. At the same time, anyone suffering from cardiovascular diseases should take the commonly used first-aid drugs with him.

8. Prevention of pollen allergy

In spring, flowers are blooming, and attention should be paid to preventing pollen allergy. Before going out, you can take anti-allergic drugs such as chlorpheniramine or Anqimin orally in advance. When you are outdoors, don't "make love" at close range, don't sleep on the grass, and don't touch flowers or leaves directly with your lips, nose and face to avoid allergic phenomena.

9. Wash your feet with hot water

When you are in spring, the muscles of your feet keep contracting, which is easy to cause local muscle aches. Washing feet with hot water can dilate capillaries, promote blood circulation of feet, and restore the secretion of sebaceous glands and heat dissipation of pores to normal.

1. Prevention of gastroenteritis

Spring is a season of high incidence of bacterial growth and gastroenteritis. When you are away from home, it is easy to get sick from your mouth if you are not careful. Choose a restaurant with good sanitary conditions when going out to play and eat, and don't be greedy for special dishes. It is worth mentioning that even the food purchased on the same day is recommended to be carefully observed before eating to smell if there is any odor. It is suggested to bring some fresh fruits, which can not only supplement the water and nutrition needed by the body, but also not go bad easily.

Planting trees

Before and after Qingming Festival, young trees are planted with high survival rate and rapid growth. Therefore, since ancient times, China has the habit of planting trees in Qingming. Some people even call Tomb-Sweeping Day Arbor Day. The custom of planting trees has been passed down to this day. In 1979, the National People's Congress stipulated that March 12th was the Arbor Day in China. This is of great significance to mobilizing people of all ethnic groups in China to actively carry out activities to green the motherland.

Flying kites

At night, a string of small colored lanterns is hung under a kite or on a wind-stable stay line, like a flashing star, which is called a "magic lamp". In the past, some people put kites in the blue sky, then cut the strings and let the breeze send them to the ends of the earth. It is said that this can eliminate diseases and disasters and bring good luck to themselves.
