It is difficult to know when the custom of Chinese New Year originated, but it is generally believed that it originated from the activities of offering sacrifices to gods and ancestors in the late Yin and Shang Dynasties. The following is a list of ways to eat Chinese New Year. Welcome to learn from them!
1, northerners eat jiaozi in the New Year.
People in northern China eat jiaozi at the first meal of the Spring Festival. jiaozi is like an ingot, which symbolizes treasure. Some fillings in jiaozi are filled with sugar to make the New Year sweet. Some stuffing put peanuts (called longevity fruit), the intention is that people who eat can live longer; There is a kind of dumpling stuffing with a coin, which means that whoever eats it will "get rich". During the Chinese New Year, noodles are cooked in jiaozi, which is called "gold thread penetrates gold ingot". Auspicious language should be used in New Year's diet. Different places in jiaozi have different ways to eat, such as boiled jiaozi with clear water in Beijing, fried dumplings in jiaozi in the old border of Northeast China, and delicious stuffing.
2. Chongqing people eat pork in the New Year.
On New Year's Eve, Chongqing people's "meat deduction" and "sea pepper dumping" are indispensable. In order to prepare this New Year's Eve dinner, it is impossible to prepare some essential traditional main dishes without mentioning the first ten and a half days. Among them, the most important ones are "deduction of meat" and "reclamation of pepper". It seems simple to "buckle meat", but it takes some effort to be really fat but not greasy, tender and refreshing; "Sea pepper" is to mix glutinous rice flour with seasoning, then fill it into the hollowed-out sea pepper, and then marinate it in a pickle jar for half a month. On new year's eve, take it out and fry it in oil, and you can serve it.
3. The custom of sending oranges in Guangdong during the Spring Festival.
In Haifeng, Guangdong, the younger generation kowtows to their elders when they pay New Year greetings, while the elders wrap money in red paper or give them oranges. Like the customs all over China, young people should pay tribute to their elders when they pay New Year's greetings, and elders should naturally be rewarded. As for what food to give to the younger generation, it is natural to choose items that children love to eat and have auspicious significance, so oranges are chosen as such foods with special significance.
What diets are there to help digestion in the new year?
Radish and onion: Dietary fiber in vegetables can promote gastrointestinal peristalsis and relieve greasy, especially radish and onion, which have a strong effect on relieving greasy and helping digestion. Eating raw radish can relieve bloating. Onions contain almost no fat, and have the function of calming the liver and moistening the intestines, which can reduce the greasy feeling and inhibit the increase of cholesterol caused by high-fat diet.
Apples help to eliminate fat: apples are one of the very good fruits and have low calories. Because apples are rich in dietary fiber pectin, and pectin basically contains no calories, it just passes through the human body, but every time it passes through the human body, it always takes away some things, such as fat and grease ... which helps to scrape oil and lose weight, and also makes the skin brighter and moisturized.
Drinking porridge can reduce fat intake: if you are worried that you have eaten a lot of things carelessly, then I suggest you prepare some porridge and drink a little before meals, so that you don't have much room to eat too much fish and meat. At the same time, it can avoid the waste of protein as energy caused by eating big fish and big meat first, and supplement a lot of dietary fiber to help promote intestinal peristalsis and increase satiety.
What are the precautions for fitness during the Spring Festival?
Pay attention to nourishing the liver, "nourishing yang in spring and summer, nourishing yin in autumn and winter". In the theory of five elements, the liver belongs to wood, which corresponds to spring, and it is mainly ascending, and it likes openness and hates depression. Therefore, nourishing the liver is to regulate emotions first. Modern medical research shows that bad mood can easily lead to stagnation of liver-qi, dysfunction of neuroendocrine system and decline of immune function, which can easily lead to psychosis, liver disease, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and infectious diseases.
Adapt to the climate, spring is warm and cold, and the climate is changeable. Pay attention to keep warm and cold, so as not to suppress yang. "Spring covers and autumn freezes" is a health care experience that adapts to the climate. Because the climate in spring is changeable, cold and hot, people wear winter clothes for a whole winter, so their metabolic function is weak and they can't adjust their body temperature quickly. If you wear thin clothes, you will be easily infected with diseases and endanger your health with a little negligence.
Sweet and sour is appropriate. According to Fang, the diet in spring should be "sweet and sour to nourish the temper". Chinese medicine believes that the spleen and stomach are the source of qi and blood metaplasia, and the spleen and stomach are full of qi, which can prolong life. Liver fire is strong in spring, and eating more acidic food will make liver fire excited and damage the spleen and stomach. You should eat more sweet foods rich in protein, vitamins and minerals.
