Where is the Youth League A major?
Youth League is a specialty of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai. Tomb-Sweeping Day had a reunion dinner in memory of General Li Xiucheng. Li Xiucheng was stranded in a remote place during the war and was very hungry without food. People prepared wormwood and glutinous rice flour to make a green ball. Li Xiucheng ate it and won the battle. Tomb-Sweeping Day's reunion dinner is to commemorate his ancestors and get together. Tomb-Sweeping Day is also called the Cold Food Festival. Because smoking and fire are forbidden in the Cold Food Festival, people can only eat cold food. People make cakes in advance and eat them on this day, which has been passed down from generation to generation, so there is the custom of eating green balls in Tomb-Sweeping Day.
Tomb-Sweeping Day is because ancient emperors always had "grave-sweeping" ceremonies, and people followed suit. On that day, it was passed down from generation to generation and became a traditional habit of the Chinese nation. In the Tang Dynasty, the day of grave sweeping was designated as the Cold Food Festival, so Tomb-Sweeping Day was also called the Cold Food Festival. Qingming is also one of the 24 solar terms. Spring returns to the earth, everything recovers, and it is a vibrant scene. Tomb-Sweeping Day has grave-sweeping, outing and willow planting activities. In the south of the Yangtze River, Tomb-Sweeping Day has the custom of eating green zongzi.
