It will be the Qing Ming Day in a couple of days, with spring in all its brightness and charm, among three Aprils when pink willow is green, one of the festivals when is paid attention to most China's traditional custom is the Qing Ming Day. " Pure Brightness " It is originally a name in solar terms, added the cold food and prohibited the fire and custom that sweeps a grave and took shape on the Qing Ming Day's later.
Actually, cold to it eats festivals to be and two different festival in Qing Ming Day, cold to it eats sections to be in 105 days under the Winter Solstice, the only distance is only one day or two days on Pure Brightness. Say cold to eat verse to come from generally " It pushes away on the silk floss mountain and burns the body " Story,push away with meson for commemorating because day forbid not lighting the fire at, can't take by meals cold after dying in an accident or political incident, in order to show the meaning that is recalled. Really originated from, came from the ancient because season was different, bored the fire with different trees, there are vulgar ones that change to change fire in season, when the renewal fire, as the new fire has not come, forbid people to light the fire. In a word, the main festival in this festival custom prohibits the fire, people can only eat the prepared food got ready, cold drinks and snacks. Move the custom of the cold food in Pure Brightness gradually with the migration of time in later age, have increased offering sacrifices at and sweeping the ancestral tomb, go for an outing in early spring, swing, Cuju, struggling against the ovum (cockfighting egg) The custom of waiting a moment, " Pure Brightness " Turn from one of the twenty-four solar terms into an important festival " Qing Ming Day " ,It becomes people to be great to hold a memorial ceremony for day.
In history it is cold eat by most of foods significant,there are getting getting more abundant more very too on kind,it is including cold to eat by porridge, foods cold, cold to eat by thick liquid, meals and Tang precises blue and green,etc.; It has surface swallows, snake a rabbit, date cake, thin Ke,etc. to eat the offerings that cold; The beverage has several dozen the amount of kind such as wine brewed in spring, new tea, clear spring sweet water. The cold food which ate festival has mostly already been losted till now, but some spreads so far too.
-Blue and green group that ancient purpose is abundant
"according to legend ban on opium-smoking and the opium trade more than one hundred by kitchen, it hold a memorial ceremony for each lotus root groups blue and greens red first " ,The " the the ancient folk songs with love as their main theme " whom poem say whether people wipe out the blue and green group of cold drinks and snacks on the Qing Ming Day, and offer sacrifices to the ancestor with red lotus root, green group, among them say " one hundred five " ,Mean it was the cold food in 105 days after the Winter Solstice. " recorded clearly and well " had clearer explanation on blue and green group in Qing Dynasty: " whether sell blue and green the intersection of group and familiar lotus root on the city, in order to offer sacrifices to the previous product, all but cold drinks and snacks " .
Literature, the intersection of gourmet and Mei Yuan, " eat form with garden ", have on making of the blue and green group full and accurate to record Qing Dynasty: "It is a juice to smash the green grass, function as the group, color such as jasper with the powder. " Blue and green group, call, end group also, it is one that, with the intersection of grass and the intersection of head and getting green pudding that juice make, some to adopt blue and green to end, some pound and shut with polished glutinous rice with the juice of the wheatgrass of sparrow, make blue and green juice merge with the rice flour each other, then make material of filling such as sweetened bean paste, jujube paste and lag behind with the leaf of the reed, put in the food steamer. Brush the well done vegetable oil on the surface of the propeller evenly with the brush while steaming and coming out of steamer, so blue and green group is green and blue and green and glossy dark green, glutinous and tough and soft, sweet and fine and smooth, pleasant to the palate, the smell that has spring from color to mouthfeel, with cold the intersection of the South and folk a traditional pastry eat festival, Pure Brightness.
According to research, " blue and green group " Title start at the Tang Dynasty probably,so far every Pure Brightness,the South nearly last groups blue and green every household, though blue and green group spreads for lots and lots of years the structure has not changed, but people mostly should make now to have a taste of what is just in season, blue and green group desalinizes day by day as the function that is offered sacrifices to.
Beijing it sells blue and green groups to be even more and more large at once before the Qing Ming Day in recent years, the south flavor pastry shops or supermarkets saw that sold, wrap up good one pieces of blue and green little propeller (I see specific getting green unusual blue and green group too green with plastic wrap while being too much non-, suspicious: Was not it juice of the grass but pigment that was used? ),I try the subcooling to take, after especially missing the refrigerator, the very hard one is not very delicious, heat, it airs to be agreeable to the more taste reach a little warm, again.
Give us your comments according to the doctor, it is easy and raw instead after the polished glutinous rice in blue and green group is cooled, extremely difficult to digest, and the nutrition structure among them will be destroyed, must eat after heating.
