Taizhou people do not eat glutinous rice balls but eat soup during the Lantern Festival, especially in Linhai, Sanmen and Tiantai areas.
Zangzhan is made from freshly ground rice noodles mixed with shredded pork, shredded winter bamboo shoots, shiitake mushrooms, fungus, dried tofu, oil soaked rice noodles, Sichuan bean paste, spinach and other condiments. It is a salty paste food, divided into sweet and
Two kinds of salty.
Every year on the fourteenth day of the first lunar month, Taizhou people eat rice dumplings after watching the lanterns. On this day, they usually eat salty rice dumplings, and on the fifteenth day of the first month, they eat sweet rice dumplings, which means salty first and then sweetness, and life becomes sweeter as time goes by.
The Lantern Festival, also known as the Lantern Festival, Xiaozhengyue, Lantern Festival or Lantern Festival, falls on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month every year and is the last important festival in the Chinese Spring Festival customs.
The Lantern Festival is one of the traditional festivals in China, the Chinese cultural circle and overseas Chinese.
The first month of the lunar calendar is the first month of the lunar calendar. The ancients called "night" "xiao", so the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the first full moon night of the year, is called the Lantern Festival.
In ancient Chinese customs, Shangyuan Festival (Tianguan Festival), Zhongyuan Festival (Diguan Festival, Bon Festival), and Xiayuan Festival (Shuiguan Festival) are collectively called the Three Yuan Festivals.
The formation of Lantern Festival customs has a long process. According to general information and folklore, the fifteenth day of the first lunar month has been taken seriously in the Western Han Dynasty. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty worshiped "Taiyi" in Ganquan Palace on Xinye night of the first lunar month, which was regarded by later generations as
The first day of the first lunar month to offer sacrifices to the gods.
However, the Lantern Festival on the 15th day of the first lunar month truly became a folk festival after the Han and Wei dynasties.
