What does Tomb-Sweeping Day do, jiaozi?

It means peace and happiness and is a traditional custom. Many festivals, large and small, are the custom of eating jiaozi, because jiaozi is like the shape of an ingot, and eating jiaozi also symbolizes a beautiful symbol of rolling financial resources and reunion. Tomb-Sweeping Day has the custom of eating cold food, and jiaozi is also a kind of cold food. Tomb-Sweeping Day's eating jiaozi also symbolizes peace and health, and Qingming also eats green balls.

Qingming comes, mugwort leaves are green, and every household has mugwort leaves and jiaozi. It is said that eating mugwort and jiaozi can improve eyesight and ward off evil spirits, and it will bring good luck all the year round. Tomb-Sweeping Day is also called cold food. You can't eat cold food with fire. You should eat some cold food, such as persimmon and sugar cake. Jiaozi is one of them. These are cold foods in the north and glutinous rice cakes in the south.

Jiaozi is shaped like an ingot, which means that people in China are lucky, and jiaozi, a vegetarian in the Qingming morning in the north, means that people who have been vegetarian for one year are totally clean and healthy, and they also intend to eat wormwood in Qingming to avoid getting infected with sores.

The origin of jiaozi:

It is said that jiaozi invented by Zhang Zhongjing is not only superb in medical skills, but also noble in medical ethics. Whether poor or rich, he took seriously and saved countless lives. When Zhang Zhongjing retired in his later years and returned to his hometown, he saw that many poor people in his hometown were hungry and cold, and their stomachs were freezing to death. He felt very uncomfortable and decided to treat him.

When I get home, I always think of those poor people with frozen ears. I cook some herbs to drive away the cold in the pot, such as mutton and pepper. After that, I took these things out and chopped them up. I use flour bags to make them into ear-shaped burnt ears. After cooking in the pot, I gave them to the patients who asked for medicine. After eating Quhan decoction, people have a fever all over, and their blood vessels are smooth and sour. After eating it for a while, the patient's rotten ears healed.

Tomb-Sweeping Day's married daughter will pack 36 or 72 mugwort jiaozi back to her mother's house, take these jiaozi to her mother's grave to worship her ancestors, and then give mugwort jiaozi to her niece and nephew. There is a saying that after eating jiaozi from her aunt, Tomb-Sweeping Day must eat jiaozi from her aunt, hoping to make progress in her studies in one year. Generally, there are 999 bags, which should be placed in a circle, symbolizing a long time and round.

It has become a custom for Tomb-Sweeping Day to eat jiaozi. It has not only become the most common and delicious food for people, but also entrusted with good wishes and blessings.
