Later, with the development of history, the custom of sweeping graves and distributing snacks in Tomb-Sweeping Day gradually became scarce. There is also the custom of sending sesame cakes when you get married. After both men and women get married, the South needs to give away the woman's sesame cake a few days ago in Tomb-Sweeping Day, which means that the daughter of this family will get married next year.
The custom of beating hemp seeds
Tzu Chi volunteers have been joking about it since far away. This custom has been passed down to this day. Flowers sting people and beat hemp, usually quietly going door to door, not many times, only a few liters of rice sweet mouth. But every year on New Year's Eve, people start quarreling. "Playing with sesame seeds at the age of 30" has become an unwritten rule in rural areas. Not playing sesame seems different from Chinese New Year.
Beating sesame cakes on New Year's Eve is specially used to "cook bowls" for guests in the first month of the Spring Festival. In the first month, the flower stinger always "cooks the bowl" with sesame sauce. So it should be noted that every sesame cake must be round. After the sesame cakes are laid, the householders are not tired of making them one by one.
When you do this, pinch the cooked glutinous rice paste with the index finger and middle finger of your left hand, knead it into a ball the size of an egg, then flatten it one by one by hand, arrange it in a stack of five or six layers according to the row spacing on the table, then flatten the big pot cover, add a proper amount of weight on the pot cover, and press it overnight to form a round cake with the same size and thickness. Villagers are the luckiest in the New Year, so they should round the dough to get the meaning of family reunion.
