The snacks are fragrant, crispy, smooth, fresh, delicious, refreshing and thirst-quenching. They are the traditional favorite food of the Tujia people. Therefore, there is a folk proverb: "If you don't drink the oil tea soup, you will feel nervous", "Three meals a day"

Three big bowls, hard to work with."

At the same time, drinking oil tea soup is a traditional etiquette for Tujia people to entertain guests. Whenever distinguished guests come, Tujia people will serve a bowl of fragrant oil tea soup as a treat.

It is said that oil tea soup was invented by Tujia cowherd children who set up "houses" in the tea mountains.

They picked up a handful of camellia seeds on the mountain, fried them in an earthen pot to produce tea oil, then picked the tea leaves and fried them in oil, mixed them with mountain spring water, and added the fried corn they brought with them. They ate with relish and, over time, drank the oil.

Tea soup has become a habit of the Tujia people.

She rice: She rice has been around since ancient times. It is a kind of food used by ethnic minorities such as Tujia, Miao and Dong in China to worship She Ji.

Eating community meals is mainly done on Society Day (i.e. the fifth Wu day after the beginning of spring). Folk customs call it "GuoShe", "Banshe", etc.

Wu Day belongs to the earth, so this day is the day to worship the Earth Bodhisattva. People pray for a prosperous year, a good harvest, and good family luck.

The Tujia people attach great importance to "going to the community", and every household enjoys it. When passing the community, they all like to cook delicious community meals.

"She Ri" of the Tang Dynasty "The rice grains are fertile at the foot of Ehu Mountain, and the chickens in the pig cage are half-covered. The shadows of mulberry trees are scattered in the spring society, and every family is supporting me so that I can return home intoxicated."

"The wine that cures deafness lasts a long time. The smoke rises from the kitchens after the New Year, and the white rice and mugwort rice in the community are fragrant." These poems are a true portrayal of the Tujia people's "going to the community".
