What does Tomb-Sweeping Day from Jiangnan eat?

Youth Tuanzi, every traditional festival in China, has its own historical background. During his stay in Tomb-Sweeping Day, Jiangnan had the custom of eating green jiaozi. Green jiaozi is made by mashing Folium Artemisiae Argyi (which can also be replaced by other green vegetable leaves), squeezing out juice, then mixing this juice with dry pure glutinous rice flour, and then wrapping it in jiaozi. Jiaozi's stuffing is made of delicate sugar bean paste. Tomb-Sweeping Day, which originated from the ancestor belief of early human beings, is the biggest ancestor worship festival of the Chinese nation. Tomb-Sweeping Day has two connotations: nature and humanity. It is both a natural solar term and a traditional festival. Grave-sweeping and hiking are two major themes of Tomb-Sweeping Day customs handed down from ancient times in China. Qingming, a solar term, is full of vitality, and everything "spits out the old and absorbs the new". The earth presents the image of spring and tranquility, which is a good opportunity for a spring outing and Qingming ceremony in the suburbs. Tomb-Sweeping Day's ancestor worship is very long, 8 days before Tomb-Sweeping Day 10, and 8 days before and after Tomb-Sweeping Day 10 (at the turn of the middle and late spring). These nearly 20 days belong to Tomb-Sweeping Day who worships his ancestors. Tomb-Sweeping Day is a traditional major Spring Festival. It is a fine tradition of the Chinese nation since ancient times to sweep graves and remember our ancestors. It is not only conducive to promoting filial piety, awakening family memories, but also conducive to promoting the cohesion and identity of family members and even the nation. Tomb-Sweeping Day's integration of natural solar terms and humanistic customs is a combination of humanistic and natural conditions, which fully embodies the Chinese ancestors' pursuit of harmony between heaven, earth and people, pays attention to conforming to the right time, place and people, and follows the laws of nature.
