Where is the specialty of Haozi Baba?

Haoziba is a special snack popular in Jianghuai, Jiangnan, Zhejiang, Jiangxi, Hunan and other southern regions of Anhui. Artemisia sphaerocephala is another method originated from the traditional youth league in the south of the Yangtze River, which is mainly refined by steaming Artemisia argyi and glutinous rice in a certain proportion. Artemisia arenaria can be steamed in a steamer, or fried on both sides until golden brown, crisp outside and soft inside, which makes it taste better.

Artemisia argyi is a kind of herb, named Artemisia argyi, commonly known as Artemisia argyi. Its leaves are green and there is a slight fluffy leucorrhea at the bottom. After spring, it grows in the field of low hills. After picking, it is mashed, soaked, drained, dried, and then mixed with rice flour and water, or added with seasonings such as bacon to make round Baba.

Eating Artemisia sphaerocephala on the third day of the third lunar month is a traditional folk custom in Jiangnan and Jianghuai areas. According to the story handed down by ancestors, "March 3" is a festival for all the dead. On this day, everyone eats wormwood cakes to commemorate the dead, and wishes everyone a long and healthy life, free from disease and evil.

In addition, there are similar traditional cakes in other parts of China, and the making method and eating method are similar to those of Youth League. Both before and after Tomb-Sweeping Day, glutinous rice was used.
