I like to eat Huang Wu during festivals in the south of the Yangtze River. It means five kinds of yellow ingredients, delicious yellow croaker and eel, delicious salted duck eggs, cucumber and realgar wine.

People in Jiangsu and Zhejiang like to eat five reds on holidays. Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions prefer red food. You must eat five reds on the Dragon Boat Festival. It is said that it can cool off the heat and ward off evil spirits. These five reds are amaranth, lobster, roast duck, yellow croaker and eel, and duck eggs are eaten in some areas.

Dragon Boat Festival is the fifth day of the fifth lunar month, also known as Duanyang Festival, Noon Festival and May Festival. Dragon Boat Festival originated in China. It was originally a festival for China people to get rid of diseases and prevent epidemics. Later, it is said that the patriotic poet Qu Yuan died on this day. At the same time, it has also become a traditional festival for the Han people in China to commemorate Qu Yuan. Centered on Qu Yuan, a brilliant and independent doctor of Chu, it spread all over China and enjoyed folk culture. Qu Yuan's celebrity is well known and cherishes the lofty feelings of the Chinese nation. However, some areas also commemorate Wu Zixu and Cao E, and the custom of holding tribal totem sacrifice in the form of dragon boat race on this day in wuyue is much earlier than in the Spring and Autumn Period. Dragon Boat Festival is one of the national legal holidays and is listed in the world intangible cultural heritage list.
