7. Garlic Eggs

Every Dragon Boat Festival in rural areas of Henan, Zhejiang and other provinces, housewives at home get up very early and cook garlic and eggs prepared in advance for breakfast. In some places, a few pieces of mugwort leaves are put when cooking garlic and eggs. Eating garlic, eggs and fried buns for breakfast is said to avoid the "five poisons" and is good for health.

8. Fried Dumplings

In Jinjiang, Fujian, every household will eat fried dumplings during the Dragon Boat Festival. The so-called frying pile is to use flour, rice flour or sweet potato powder and other ingredients to make a thick paste and fry it in an oil pan into a large piece. According to legend, in ancient times, it was rainy season in southern Fujian before the Dragon Boat Festival, and it rained continuously. People said that God had pierced a hole and wanted to "mend the sky". The rain stopped after eating "fried piles" on the Dragon Boat Festival. People say that the sky has been mended. This food custom comes from this.

9. Yellow rice wine

Qing Jia Lu records: "It is called realgar wine to grind realgar powder, crumb cattail root and drink it with wine." That is to say, realgar wine is blended with white wine and realgar. Why is such a simple drink so famous? This is probably related to the story of Bai Niangniang and Xu Xian. Bai Niangniang drinks realgar wine on the Dragon Boat Festival, showing her snake body. Therefore, people probably think that poisonous insects such as snakes, scorpions and centipedes can be cracked by realgar wine, and drinking realgar wine during the Dragon Boat Festival can exorcise evil spirits and detoxify.
