It is the day of "Qingming" and many people are scrubbing their tombs during this period. "The rain is storming during the Qingming Festival, and pedestrians on the road are about to break their souls." The poems of the Tang Dynasty poet Du Mu have shaped my impression of Qingming Festival since childhood: the wind is bitter and bitter rain, and ghost shadows are everywhere. The only thing I look forward to is to eat "snacks" to calm the young and fearful spirit of the unknowns of our ancestors and the world after death.
Eating glutinous rice noodles is the first time I have eaten a "buffet" in my life. My aunt will fill the table with various ingredients, including boiled or fried bean sprouts, glutinous rice noodles, chopped beans, dried beans, egg skin noodles, celery, coriander, etc. It is mostly vegetarian dishes and cold dishes. When eaten, first sprinkle sugar peanut powder on the thin, light-transmitting and extremely flexible skin of glutinous rice noodles, then pick up various dishes according to your preferences and wrap them up, and bite them in big mouthfuls. The sweet, crisp and soft full taste makes people fully feel what it is called "existence".
{99}Relaxed glutinous rice cakes are also a lesson. The first time I am usually very thoughtful and want to wrap everything in. I want to wrap more. As a result, the rolled glutinous rice cakes are fried when they have to eat. Sometimes I forget to remove the vegetable water. The skin of the glutinous rice cakes is too wet and broken, and the ingredients are leaking everywhere. I can only hurry up and take the plate to pick it up. The wolf is so tired that I can reach what it means to "the human heart is not enough to swallow the elephant."
The "未" of 未分类 has a different way of saying "未". Food writer Chen Shuhua believes that the word "未" is transformed from "未", and the year is like a round, so the "未" is converted into "未" and the sound of "未" is changed to "未", and the 未 is born. Eating 未 means eating 未分. But some people think that the skin of the glutinous bun is very thin and soft, and it is converted from "soft" to "soft" glutinous buns in Taiwanese. I wonder if the Taiwanese term "后" is used to describe "后" as "后"? As for frying the baked bun, it is called "Spring Brew".
Eating glutinous rice noodles should be followed by the custom of eating "spring plates" from the Han Dynasty. After the beginning of spring, various vegetables gradually became popular. "Spring plates" mean that various types of vegetables are transferred into one plate and eaten together at home. Cui Shi from Donghan wrote in the "Four Minutes and Monthly Orders" that "eat lettuce on the beginning of spring is to welcome the new year." In order to facilitate food collection, the spring plate also turns into a yearly and slim bun covered with slim leather.
Food writer Chen Jingyi once tested the ingredients for the glutinous rice and found that the glutinous rice can be called "a clan without words". If your glutinous rice is served with high-end dishes, it may be related to the restaurant, and people in the Golden Gate will eat glutinous rice cakes, etc.
With the prosperity of society, the ingredients of the saury bag are becoming more and more diverse, and the food is also added to the saury family. Pork belly, fragrant tangerine and even roe can be included. There are even sweet saury in the night market, which can be rolled in peanuts and ice cream. "As long as you like it, there is nothing wrong with it." A saury bun is like a hundred pieces of money, and you can choose, and there is no longer a limit of ethnic or regionality.

However, glutinous rice cakes have always had a characteristic, which is that they can be eaten cold, and all kinds of ingredients are processed in advance. When eaten, they can be eaten. This should be related to the "cold food festival" that many people forget nowadays.
The 105 days after the winter solstice is the Cold Food Festival. About the Qingming Festival, the Tang Dynasty combined the two festivals into one, but in the early days, the Cold Food Festival was more concerned.
The origin of the Cold Food Festival is two different ways. One is that it is a sentimental saying, which is to remember Jie Zhitui from the Spring and Autumn Period. He refused to leave when Duke Wen of Zhou was exiled. When Duke Wen of Zhou was exiled, he cut off his thigh meat and cooked it to Chong'er to fill it. After Duke Wen of Zhou took office, he took his mother to the mountains and forests. Duke Wen of Zhou asked him to go out of the mountain without getting it. He misheard the words of the letter and set fire to the mountains, hoping to force him out. Unexpectedly, Jie Zhitui's mother was burned and died. Duke Wen of Zhou regretted it and ordered that the fire be banned on the day of Jie Zhitui's death, and the people could only eat cold food.
Another theory is the rationalist school, which refers to the fact that the Cold Food Festival is a fire ban system originating from the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties. In mid-spring, the weather is warm and windy, and it is easy to catch fire. In order to reduce the chance of fire accidents, a system of banning fire for several days in mid-spring was established to prevent fire disasters.
"The spring city does not fly without flowers, and the cold food is slanted by the east wind and willows." The "cold food" poem by the Tang poet Korean has passed down through the ages, writing about the prosperity of Chang'an City in late spring.
The "cold food post" by Su Zhi of the Song Dynasty was a different scene. He was in Huangzhou at that time. The spring rain was rippling and people were sick. "Cooking cold vegetables in the empty kitchen and burning the flowers, then they knew it was cold food." It was really a road where people were on the road. The kitchen was broken into stoves and the sausages were moist and could not even get up. It was cold food every day. However, this also made him have a deeper understanding of life and achieved a reputation for his everlasting talent.
In fact, Qingming Festival is in the atmosphere, "When all things grow, they are clear and clear, so they are called Qingming Festival" (a hundred questions at the age of age). At this time, the ancients would go to the suburbs to go out for a walk, relax their winds, etc.
"Spring is three parts, two parts of soil, and one part of flowing water." Take a bite of it and it seems like the spring light suddenly appears, but the beauty of spring will eventually pass away. Let's take advantage of the Qingming Festival and go out for a walk. "The best spring is the best place for spring, and it will definitely bring smoke and willows to the capital." Be kind to take advantage of the spring light, don't worry about the youth that is about to come, has arrived, and willows will eventually leave.
