What are the foods of vernal equinox and solar terms?
Eat spring vegetables
In the past, there was an unbroken custom called "eating spring vegetables at the vernal equinox". "Spring vegetable" is a kind of wild amaranth, which villagers call "Artemisia chun". On the vernal equinox, the whole village went to pick spring vegetables. When searching in the wild, it is often green and thin, about the length of a palm. Picked spring vegetables are usually boiled with fish fillets at home, which is called "spring soup". There is a jingle that says, "Spring soup is dirty, but it washes the liver and intestines. The whole family is safe and healthy. " Slowly, it became a custom. Since the spring of the year, people still pray for peace and health at home.
Small carrot
Yangzhou people also have the custom of eating spring rolls stuffed with buns or shredded radish at the vernal equinox. At this time, eating radish can not only ventilate up and down, but also play a role in getting rid of diseases and solving difficulties.
Among various vegetables for health care in spring, radish has the best effect. White radish has the functions of clearing away heat and promoting fluid production, regulating qi and promoting digestion, and resolving phlegm. Raw radish tends to clear away heat and promote fluid production, while cooked radish tends to promote qi and digestion. Can be used for preventing symptoms such as cough due to excessive phlegm, sore throat, anorexia, abdominal distension, constipation, etc. Modern medicine believes that radish has a good diuretic effect, and the cellulose it contains can also promote defecation and help to lose weight. If you want to detoxify with radish, you can choose raw food, juice, cold salad or pickling.
Folks believe that "radish is hot in the head, dry in the tail and just right in the waist", and experts also remind that radish is eaten in sections and has different nutrition: the top of radish contains the most vitamin C, and it is appropriate to stir-fry and cook soup; The middle part has high sugar content and can be shredded and cold; The tail is spicy, containing amylase and mustard oil, which is suitable for pickling and mixing ... Usually, when the family is small, a big radish can't be eaten at one time, so you can cut it vertically and eat half, so that the head, waist and tail of the radish are all in the dish, and the nutrition is balanced.
Rolling donkeys, Beijing snacks
According to the custom of old Beijing, in order to ward off evil spirits and pray for blessings, the spring equinox will eat snowballing usury. The origin of snowballing usury is unusual, and its processing materials include rhubarb rice noodles, soybeans, red bean paste, sugar, sesame oil, osmanthus fragrans, green shredded pork and melon seeds, which are enough to meet the requirements of diversification of food materials in the Nutritional Dietary Guide. Its production is divided into three processes: blank making, filling and molding. "Snowball Donkey" is wrapped in bean flour, golden in color, sweet with bean flavor, soft and unique, and it is a delicious food suitable for all ages.
Bowling is also called bean powder cake. There is no doubt that bean flour cakes are mainly made of soybeans. Plus typical protein complementary foods such as bean stuffing. Every 100 grams of snowball contains 194 calories of heat; Protein 8.2 grams; 0.2g of fat and 4 1.8g of carbohydrate. In addition, it also contains micronutrients such as vitamins and calcium.
However, I also want to remind you that although snowballing is delicious and has good nutritional value, don't eat too much. After all, there is a lot of sugar in it. If you eat too much, your energy will exceed the standard, and your blood sugar will easily rise. In addition, it is not easy to digest soft waxy ingredients if they are ingested too much. Therefore, as a traditional food, snowballing usury can be tasted in festivals and has endless aftertaste.

The origin of vernal equinox
The vernal equinox begins on March 20th (or 2 1) and ends on April 4th (or 5th) every year. The vernal equinox begins on March 20 or 2 1 day of the solar calendar every year, and the sun reaches 0 degrees of the yellow meridian (vernal equinox). The length of day and night is average, just half of the 90th day of spring, so it is called "vernal equinox".
On the vernal equinox, the sun shines directly at the equator, and day and night are almost equal. Then the direct sunlight position gradually moved northward, and the days were long and the nights were short. The vernal equinox is an important solar term, which not only has astronomical significance: the northern and southern hemispheres are equally divided day and night; Climatically, there are also obvious characteristics. During the spring equinox, China has entered a beautiful spring scenery except the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, Northeast China, Northwest China and North China. On the vast land, willows are green, Fei Ying grass grows, wheat jointing and rape blossoms are fragrant.
"Twenty-four solar terms": "(Summer calendar) in mid-February, divided into half, for 90 days and a half, so it is called minutes. Autumn is synonymous. " Han Dong's book "Spring and Autumn Stories Up and Down of Yin and Yang": "As for the mid-spring moon, Yang is due to the east and Yin is due to the west, it is called the vernal equinox. The vernal equinox is half yin and half yang, so it is cold and summer day and night. "

The custom of vernal equinox
First, vertical eggs
Every spring equinox, tens of millions of people all over the world are doing "vertical egg" experiments. How this toy, called "China Custom", became a "world game" is still difficult to verify. However, the game is simple and interesting: choose a smooth and symmetrical fresh egg that has just been born for four or five days, gently stand it up and put it on the table. Although there are many losers, there are also many winners.
The vernal equinox has become the best time for vertical egg games, so there is a saying that when the vernal equinox arrives, the eggs will be beautiful. The eggs that stand up are very beautiful.
Second, eat spring vegetables (Lingnan custom)
In the past, there was a custom in the four cities (now Heshan is the five cities) called "eating spring vegetables at the vernal equinox". "Spring vegetable" is a kind of wild amaranth, which villagers call "Artemisia chun". On the vernal equinox, the whole village went to pick spring vegetables. When searching in the wild, it is often green and thin, about the length of a palm. Picked spring vegetables are usually boiled with fish fillets at home, which is called "spring soup".
There is a jingle that says, "Spring soup is dirty, but it washes the liver and intestines. The whole family is safe and healthy. " Since the spring of the year, people still pray for peace and health at home.
Third, send spring cattle.
The vernal equinox is coming soon, and there will be a picture of spring cattle delivered door to door. The picture is printed with red paper or yellow paper on the lunar solar terms all the year round, and also printed with farmers' ploughing patterns, which is called "Spring Cattle Map". The people who send pictures are folk singers, who mainly say things like spring ploughing and auspiciousness that are not against the farming season. Every time they go to a house, they say whatever they see until the owner is happy to give money. Although the words spoken are casual, every sentence rhymes beautifully. Commonly known as "spring", it is said that spring people are "spring officials".
Fourth, stick the sparrow's mouth
According to custom, farmers have a holiday on the vernal equinox. Every family should eat dumplings, and a dozen or thirty dumplings that don't contain hearts should be cooked and placed on the edge of outdoor fields with thin bamboo forks, which is called sticking sparrows' mouths so as not to destroy crops.
The vernal equinox is also a good time for children to fly kites. Especially at the vernal equinox. Even adults are involved. Kites are divided into Wang Zi Kite, Silver Carp Kite, Myxomoth Kite, Leigong Kite and Moon Light Kite. The biggest kite is two meters high, and the smallest one is two or three feet. There are kites on the market, many of which are smaller than others' and suitable for children to play with, but most of them are posted by themselves, and the bigger ones have to compete with each other to see which one flies high.
Verb (abbreviation for verb) Spring Festival
At the vernal equinox in February, people began to sweep graves to worship their ancestors, also known as the Spring Festival. Before sweeping the grave, a grand ancestor worship ceremony should be held in the ancestral hall, pigs and sheep should be slaughtered, drummers should be invited to play, and the ritual students should read the eulogy and quote three praises. At the beginning of the spring equinox grave sweeping, the first thing is to sweep the graves of ancestors and distant ancestors. The whole family and the whole village have to be dispatched on a large scale, and the team often reaches hundreds or even thousands. After the ancestral graves of Kaiji and Yuanzu were swept, they were divided into rooms to sweep the graves of ancestors in each room, and finally each family swept the graves privately.
In most Hakka areas, ancestor worship and grave sweeping in spring begins at the vernal equinox or earlier, and should end in Tomb-Sweeping Day at the latest. There is a saying everywhere that after the Qingming Festival, the tomb door is closed, and the ancestors' spirits are not needed.
Sixth, worship God.
The folk festivals around the vernal equinox are February 15, Zhang Kai's birthday: Wang Sheng, also known as "Chen", was a warrior of the Tang Dynasty, Chen Yuanguang, who made great contributions to Zhangzhou and became the patron saint of Zhangzhou after his death. February 19 is the birthday of Guanyin Bodhisattva. Every birthday, many believers will go to Guanyin Temple to worship. On February 25th, Sanshan King Sacrifice Day: Sanshan King refers to Dushan, Mingshan, Jinshan and other mountain gods in Jieyang County, Chaozhou Prefecture, Guangdong Province. In the early years, Chaozhou Hakka immigrants were the patron saint, so the believers were mainly Hakkas.
