The old Yantai rule is to eat dumplings.

Shandong, and even the entire north have "the first ambush dumplings two ambush noodles, three ambush pancakes spread eggs" custom. Dumplings on the first day of the month is a traditional custom, people's appetite, often thinner than normal, commonly known as the bitter summer, and dumplings in the traditional custom is the appetizing food.

Some places in Shandong eat raw cucumbers and hard-boiled eggs to cure the bitter summer, and eat eggs on the morning of the first day of the month, without eating other foods. Dumplings are eaten on the day of entering the ambush in the hope of getting through the summer in peace, wishing and praying for good luck.

And in places like Changdao, north of Yantai, it's "dumplings on the day of fall and noodles on the day of ambush". The purpose of eating noodles on the day of the earthquake is to "ward off evil". This is also a reflection of the differences in food and drink, which are different from each other and from one country to another.

Three volts during the period, China's food customs vary from place to place:

The first volts of dumplings and two volts of noodles, three volts of pancakes and eggs, this is the northern people over the day of the volts of a dietary custom. When the time comes to enter the ambush, just less than a month of wheat harvest. The family is full of grain, of course, people want to play teeth, eat a white noodles, as the saying goes, "delicious but dumplings".

Of course you have to eat a meal of dumplings, and ambrosia, people's appetite is not good, can not eat something, and dumplings in the Chinese traditional food customs is the appetizer to relieve the appetite of food. In some parts of the south, such as Shanghai, the first ambush to eat wontons.
