Follow Shuimoxiansheng.com and take a look at the contents of the lunar calendar for October 2018.What is the custom to eat during Xiaoxue?Digging meat for soup <br /> As the saying goes, "Kill pigs in Minor Snow and sheep in Major Snow", this is the custom of the Tujia people. During the Xiaoxue and Daxue solar terms, every household would slaughter pigs and sheep to prepare New Year's goods. The "soup meat" refers to the pig that has just been slaughtered and the hair has been removed by boiling water. While the pork is still hot and soft, it can be cooked into various delicious fresh meat meals, which is called "soup meat". At this time, people would serve rice, side dishes and a little wine, and invite neighbors to a dinner party, which symbolizes unity, harmony and prosperity.Eating glutinous rice cake <br /> In ancient times, glutinous rice cake was a traditional festival offering in the southern region. Ciba is round in shape and comes in different sizes, symbolizing harvest, joy and reunion. Because glutinous rice cake is mainly made from glutinous rice, which is a late-maturing variety and is harvested before the Lesser Snow solar term, there is now a custom of eating glutinous rice cake during the Lesser Snow solar term in southern China. On the one hand, it is to celebrate the harvest, thank the gods and pray for good weather in the coming year. On the other hand, it is to reward oneself for a year's hard work. Pickled vegetables <br /> There is a folk custom: "Pickle vegetables in the Lesser Snow and pickle meat in the Greater Snow." Because the temperature drops quickly and the weather becomes very dry during the light snow period, it is a good time to pickle various vegetables and bacon. After the Minor Snow solar term, every household begins to pickle and dry various vegetables, including cabbage, radish, as well as chicken, duck, fish and meat, to extend the storage time of vegetables and meat in preparation for winter consumption. This custom has existed since ancient times. It is recorded in "Zhenzhou Zhuzhici Yin": "After the first snow, people pickle vegetables, called 'Hancai'... to store for the winter." Zhenzhou is in Yizheng, Jiangsu today. People in Hangzhou also often take advantage of this solar term to pickle duck and bacon. Drying fish <br /> Taiwanese proverb: "In October, the beans are so fat that you can't see the end", which means that in Budai, Chiayi County, you can catch bean fish in the tenth month of the lunar calendar. The bean fish lives in the Haihe River estuary with a semi-brackish and semi-fresh sandy and muddy bottom. Some restaurants in the Pearl River Delta have their signs selling "white clam fish". This is the time when fishermen in the coastal areas of central and southern Taiwan will catch "bean fish" and make it into dried fish in preparation for eating during the New Year. Analysis of ancient poems about Xiaoxue!"Snow on the River" by Liu Zongyuan of the Tang Dynasty <br /> No birds have flown away from the thousands of mountains, and no people have been seen on the thousands of paths.An old man in a straw raincoat and hat is fishing alone in a boat on the cold river. "Early Thoughts in an Inn in Early Winter" by Huai Pu of Tang Dynasty <br /> The sound of the horn on the pillow is faint, but the feeling of separation has not yet subsided. I dreamed of returning to Sanchu Temple, and it was so cold that it reached the fifth watch. When the moon sets, the birds start to move; when the frost clears, the frozen leaves fly. I feel ashamed for starting my career too early, which is deeply contrary to the Way. "Thinking of Home on the Winter Solstice Night in Handan" by Bai Juyi of the Tang Dynasty <br /> I met the winter solstice in Handan Inn, sitting with my knees hugged in front of the lamp with my shadow by my side. Thinking of sitting at home late at night, I should still talk about the traveler. "Early Winter" by Du Fu of Tang Dynasty <br /> My old military uniform is too tight for me, and I am returning home in the deep cold. Fishing boats are on the fast water, and hunting fires are lit in the tall forests. I get drunk at Xichi every day, and then I recite the Liangfu poem because I feel sad. The war has not yet ceased, so how can I have the heart to do anything? "Drinking at Night in Early Winter" by Du Mu of Tang Dynasty <br /> Huaiyang is often ill and occasionally seeks pleasure, the guest's sleeves are frost-stained and the candle tray is lit. The pear blossoms are piled up with snow. Who will lean on the railing here next year? |
