Food during the Qiqiao Festival generally includes noodles, dumplings, steamed buns and baked fruits. Linyi is accustomed to using saved dew to make noodles. Tangyi County calls the noodles made during Qixi Festival Yunmian, which means Qiaoyun. Changyi uses seven kinds of wild vegetables to make steamed buns. Every household in Jiaodong bakes "Qiaoguozi" (first using oil, eggs, sugar, etc.). Mix the flour, then use lotus, peach, fish and other molds to make various patterns, and finally bake them), thread them with threads, hang them around the necks of children, eat them while playing, and give gifts to each other among relatives and friends.
