What does it mean to see three new things in changxia?

Cherry in Xuanwu Lake, plum in Gaochun and shad in Zhenjiang. Sanxin in Long Summer, also known as Sanxian in Long Summer, is a folk food custom in China. Long summer is one of the twenty-four solar terms in China lunar calendar, and it is the beginning of summer. In ancient times, the long summer was like the beginning of spring, and the emperor or doctor had to personally lead a ceremony to welcome the summer. As the saying goes, long summer has tasted the "three creations" in Jiangnan. The traditional "three creations" are: cherry, green plum and shad.

Long Xia Sanxin customs:

1, Nanjing: Nanjing folk experts said that the old Nanjing wanted to taste the "three creations" in the summer, namely the cherry in Xuanwu Lake, the plum in Gaochun and the shad produced in Zhenjiang. Cherry, also known as Han Tao, has two kinds, Zhu Ying and Ziying, which are sweet and delicious, and can adjust the middle and strengthen the spleen, beauty beauty. In ancient times, it was often used as a tribute to the ancestral temple, and the court also used it to give it to officials. Plum refers to immature plums, which are sour and crisp and can be eaten with honey. There is a saying in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms that "green plums cook wine to talk about heroes". The shad swim back to the river from the coastal waters to lay eggs at the turn of spring and summer every year. The history book says: "shad leaves the Yangtze River in March, which tastes sweet, but it is bony and decays quickly." It is one of the rare fish in the Yangtze River. Now cherries have entered the homes of ordinary people, while shad are almost extinct. Therefore, Nanjing's new version of the "three new" recipes can give full play to everyone's imagination and choose seasonal fresh food combinations.

2. Suzhou: There is a proverb in Suzhou, "See three new things in the long summer". "Sanxin" refers to newly matured cherries, plums and wheat. People worship their ancestors with "Sanxin" first, and then people taste food.

3. Wuxi: Wuxi folks have always had the custom of "tasting three flavors in summer". Three fresh foods are divided into three fresh foods: ground, tree and water. Three kinds of fresh plants are broad bean, amaranth and cucumber (or one of them is yuanmai and garlic seedling); Three fresh trees are cherry, loquat and apricot (or plum and Toona sinensis); The three kinds of fresh water are marine fish, puffer fish and shad (or shad, yellow croaker, whitebait and silver carp).
