Chaoshan people have a long history of making garden cakes during the Dragon Boat Festival. Gardenia cake is slightly brown and yellow, and tastes a bit bitter and fragrant. When people in Chaoshan eat, they usually use yarn to cut into thin slices and stick to white sugar. Dip sugar when eaten, it is sweet and refreshing. Compared with rice dumplings, it has the effect of nourishing the middle and nourishing qi and removing intestinal toxins.
In the cognition of Chaoshan people, the Dragon Boat Festival is a "holy day". The effect of any green herb on the Dragon Boat Festival can immediately take effect, and the effect is more significant.
In legend, Dragon Boat Festival is the time when the dragon raises its head and erupts the dragon's beard water on the grass on the earth. So during the Dragon Boat Festival, people have to go up the mountain to pick some herbs, such as honeysuckle , Ophiopogon japonicus, aswinkle , mountain grape and so on to get home for later use to eliminate diseases. It is said that the herbs picked at this time are more meaningful and valuable than the herbs picked normally.Eating herbs on will naturally have better results.

Other names in other places are beets, four-season vegetables, Liu Qinu, duck squirrel, etc. Grow in humid places on the roadside, hillside grasslands or planted manually. The bead cauliflower is slightly bitter, spicy, sweet and light, cold in nature, and non-toxic.
The most common way to eat is to use real bead cauliflower to cook pig blood soup.

Wuguo Soup is a traditional Chaoshan folk health food. ingredients are mainly longan, ginkgo (ginkgo), lotus seeds, coix seeds , and lily . In fact, Chaoshan people do not necessarily only use five types when cooking. Some add a few more types, while others have three or four types. But most of them use these five as the basic materials.
Wuguo Soup can be sweet or salty, depending on the family’s preference.
or above, "Chaoshan people love Chaoshan" published an article on "Today's Headlines" on 2022-05-22 "Chaoshan Customs: Under the normal epidemic situation, how do Chaoshan people "eat" to celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival? 》 has introduced it once.
"Wu Rui" refers to acorus , mugwort leaves, prunus flower , garlic, dragon boat flower .
The fifth month of the lunar calendar was called " evil month " in ancient times. From a climate perspective, it gradually became hot summer, and dampness and heat were everywhere, and people were prone to diseases. It was the time for disasters and epidemics to spread. Therefore, around the Dragon Boat Festival, it is popular to insert calamus and mugwort leaves on the door, which is called " Pujian " and "mix tiger" to drive away evil spirits and avoid harm. Later, the durian flower, garlic and dragon boat flower were added, collectively known as "Five Auspicious Abundance in the Sky".
generally believes that May is a poison month , and the fifth day is an evil day. According to legend, this day is evil and evil, and five poisons are released together. There is a widely circulated scene in " Legend of White Snake " where Xu Xian feeds Bai Suzhen and drinks realgar wine , causing him to show his true body of a white snake.
The local folk custom of Chaoshan is to eat purplish cotyledons during the Qingming Festival, and to eat the good medicine for deworming on the Dragon Boat Festival, "Sacred Ganzhi". Dragon Boat Festival is the "holy day" to expel poisons. It can take immediate results after taking medicine and the effect is significant. It is not very effective if you take it on this day. Eat some scrambled eggs with sacred citrus during the Dragon Boat Festival to drive away roundworms.
What should I pay attention to during the Dragon Boat Festival?
On the Dragon Boat Festival, you cannot wish your friends "happy" and you can only wish your friends "health". During the Dragon Boat Festival, you usually don’t send congratulations with friends. If you have to post , you can only post words such as "Dragon Boat Festival Happy" and not "Happy Dragon Boat Festival"! Dear Chaoshan, "family and self-in-one", don't make this mistake.
Because the Dragon Boat Festival was originally a festival to drive away the plague gods and sacrifice dragons in summer, people later regarded the Dragon Boat Festival as a festival to commemorate Qu Yuan, Wu Zixu, Cao E and his elder brother. The original meaning of Dragon Boat Festival is to worship the Dragon Ancestor and pray for curing diseases. From this perspective, you can wish you a happy Dragon Boat Festival. Later, the significance of commemorating Qu Yuan was added, and the meaning of Dragon Boat Festival itself to cure diseases. Combined, I wish you "health" is more appropriate.
or above is the "Chaoshan people love Chaoshan" to introduce the relevant customs and contents of Chaoshan people during the Dragon Boat Festival.
