What is the green color of Qingming Food Youth League?
At first, Qing Tuan was a kind of green bread made of grass head juice. Its method is to put tender wormwood and hemp into a large pot, add lime to steam, remove lime water, knead into glutinous rice flour, and make bright green jiaozi.
Now, green balls are made of wheat straw, wormwood juice, other green vegetable juice and glutinous rice flour, and then stuffed with bean paste. The function of Qing Tuan as a sacrifice is weakening day by day, and more people regard it as a spring outing snack.
There is a saying that "eating mugwort leaves before and after Qingming Festival will keep you from getting sick all year round", and mugwort leaves are a necessary traditional food for Hakka people in Tomb-Sweeping Day. The main raw materials of wormwood are glutinous rice and wormwood, and its production method is not very complicated. Many people like to eat wormwood because all the food made by wormwood has a unique taste.
The origin of Tomb-Sweeping Day:
Qingming is one of the twenty-four solar terms and the fifth solar term in spring. It will clear up when the sun reaches 15. Tomb-Sweeping Day was named after "The Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival shows everything". Qingming is a solar term that reflects the phenological changes in nature. At this time, the sun is shining, plants are sprouting, flowers are in full bloom, and nature presents a vibrant scene. In the south of China, at this time, the image of clear air and beautiful scenery has been presented, and the spring is harmonious.
Qingming usually changes from April 4 to 6 in the Gregorian calendar, and it is not fixed on a certain day, but April 5 is the most common. Tomb-Sweeping Day is both a solar term and a festival, and Tomb-Sweeping Day atmosphere provides important conditions for the formation of Tomb-Sweeping Day customs in terms of time and weather phenology. Tomb-Sweeping Day Qi, which is related to the phenology of 20 years old, is often used to guide farming, indicating that the weather is fine and spring ploughing is timely. Tomb-Sweeping Day is a day when people pay homage to their ancestors and pursue the future cautiously.
