Jiangchuan winter solstice customs and food culture?

Jiangchuan's winter solstice custom is to eat bean noodles, glutinous rice balls, Ciba and pig-killing rice.

Old people often say that the summer solstice is short and the winter solstice is long. This means that the summer solstice is the longest day of the year. After the summer solstice, the days gradually shorten, and the winter solstice is the shortest day in a year. As soon as the winter solstice is over, the days get longer and longer, and so on.

In Jiangchuan and other places, on the solstice of winter, you should eat glutinous rice balls with bean powder. Use ground glutinous rice flour, then knead it into dough and cook it in a pot. Cooked glutinous rice balls with bean powder taste simple and sweet. In Yuxi, local people generally have the custom of taking supplements and keeping out the cold for the winter.

In traditional Chinese medicine, there are not only three-volt stickers for treating winter diseases in summer, but also "Sanjiu moxibustion" for three or nine days. This can not only strengthen the body, strengthen the weak, resist cold, resist aging and prolong life, but also correct sub-health and prevent diseases.

On the solstice of winter, most Jiangchuan people have the custom of "adding vegetables" to eat meat from the solstice of winter. Among them, barbecue is an indispensable traditional food on Jiangchuan's winter solstice table.

The whole family prepared some bacon and sausages to eat after paying homage to their ancestors, hoping to come to lucky strike next year.

New year's cake, new year's cake.

Eating rice cakes is to win the lottery ticket of "getting higher every year". From the late Qing Dynasty to the early Republic of China, Jiangchuan people always eat rice cakes on the solstice of winter.

The most extreme way to eat is to eat three meals a day without missing a meal. In the morning, we eat steamed rice cakes with sesame powder and sugar, fried rice cakes with oil and winter vegetables and shredded pork with winter bamboo shoots at noon. Dinner is rice cake with mustard, shredded pork and shredded bamboo shoots soup.
