3. Seto powder
I have heard of mixed powder, zixi powder, beef powder and fried powder, but I have never heard of "Seto powder". Seto powder is a kind of vermicelli made of rice flour and hot water, which is a traditional snack in Guangdong. On the Mid-Yuan Festival in Guangdong, that is, the 14th day of the seventh lunar month, every household will eat a bowl of rice flour and roasted goose. Eating seto flour on the Mid-Autumn Festival has a long and beautiful meaning, and it is a traditional food custom of Guangdong people on the Mid-Autumn Festival.

During the Mid-Autumn Festival, people will prepare various fruits to worship their ancestors. These fruits, such as apples, pears, grapes and peaches, are all representatives of summer fruits. They are fresh, juicy, sweet and delicious. After the sacrifice, people can taste these fruits and feel the beautiful summer.
5. Dishes
On the Mid-Autumn Festival, people will prepare all kinds of rich dishes and put them on the altar for ancestors to enjoy. There are many kinds of dishes, such as fish, meat, vegetables, etc., which are good in color, smell and taste. In some places, a "lonely pheasant" will be prepared, which means offering sacrifices to ghosts and praying for ancestors to bless the safety of their homes.
6. Steamed buns
In Jiangxi, there is a traditional custom of eating steamed buns on the Mid-Autumn Festival. You know, Jiangxi people are famous for their special ability to eat spicy food.

Newly married women are blessed with many children after eating steamed stuffed buns, and children are healthy and safe after eating steamed stuffed buns.
