Why is it called Hanyi Festival
Liu Dong and Yu Yi of the Ming dynasty recorded the cold clothes festival in detail in their brief introduction to the scenery of the capital & middot; spring field: 'on October 1, the paper was cut into five colors to make men's and women's clothes, which were close to each other in length, called cold clothes, with sparse seals and lines, like sending books. Every family mends its tools at night, and shouts to burn its door, saying to send cold clothes. New mourning, white paper for it, said the new ghost dare not dress color also. Send white to cry, female voice 19, male voice 11. '
In pan rongbi's "Ji Sheng & middot; delivering cold clothes at the age of emperor in Beijing", there is a record of the cold clothes festival in Qing Dynasty: "October Shuo & hellip; hellip; scholars worship their ancestors and visit their tombs, such as zhongyuanyi.

noodle
On October 1, the people not only sent cold clothes to the dead for winter, but also carried out some traditional activities to symbolize winter for the living. People improve their lives. Buckwheat and naked oats are popular in mountainous areas. The custom of eating noodles on Hanyi Festival has a long history. It's a good choice to have a bowl of noodles with reasonable nutrition at noon in winter. Usually, people with more social activities are most suitable to eat a bowl of yangchunmian after drinking, which can not only relieve alcohol, but also nourish the stomach and nourish the body.
Winter is the best season to eat Lanzhou ramen. Fried sauce noodles are the most reasonable nutrition match among several flavor noodles. Because of the differences in the processing technology, the noodles are hard and hard to digest, so young people can try more, while the old people should not eat more. Noodles should be served with more vegetables and eggs.
Red bean rice
Later generations took the first day of October as the mourning Festival, and laid a memorial ceremony with red bean rice. So far, there is a legend in Dafeng, Jiangsu Province, to the effect that there once was a cowherd who was killed by the landlord because of his fight against the landlord, and his blood dyed the rice on the ground red. This is the first day of October. Since then, the poor people will eat red bean rice to commemorate him on the first day of October, and there is a nursery rhyme as evidence: 'in the October Dynasty, watch niuwa run home; if you refuse to go, the landlord slaps you with three plows and a thin knife. '
The skin of red bean is dense and solid, so it needs to be soaked in advance, otherwise it will be hard to steam out. The traditional method of red bean rice is to soak the red bean in water for several hours in advance, and then make it full of water. Sometimes it needs to cook the red bean in advance, and then cook it with rice. Now you can bubble red beans a little in advance (or not), and then use a pressure cooker to directly cook, half an hour, soft sticky sweet red bean rice can be out of the pot.
Reverse fried cake
In the traditional customs of Huizhou, 'October Dynasty' is a traditional festival, which is the birthday of cattle and the traditional festival of cattle sacrifice in Huizhou. On this day, Huizhou people will eat a kind of traditional food called "inverse glutinous rice". Huizhou people believe that cattle have worked hard for human beings for a year, and they need to comfort them.
In addition to making some inverse CII to worship the God of cattle, there are also some farmers who wrap the vegetable leaves around the inverse CII to feed the cattle, praying for its strong body and health. In addition to eating the rest, they will also give it to their relatives and friends. As time goes by, this inverse CI has become one of the most representative folk traditional foods in Huizhou.
Glutinous rice cake
'in the October Dynasty, Ciba was burning. 'it's a Hakka saying that every year on the first day of October, every family will make Ciba. The first day of October coincides with the end of the autumn harvest. Hardworking Hakka people will grind the newly harvested glutinous rice into powder, rub it and steam it. Then, they will take the glutinous rice as the skin, add peanut, sesame, sugar and other fillings, and make glutinous rice cake for the festival to comfort the family and celebrate the harvest.
The most enjoyable way to eat Ciba is to eat baked Ciba. In winter, it is cold and humid in the mountain area. In order to keep warm, people in general will set up a fire and sit around. Put the Ciba on the charcoal in the fire pot and bake it. The Ciba gradually swells and creaks in the charcoal fire. The skin is slightly raised and looks like a big bun. At this time, when the skin is broken, a white air will be released. Bite the soft inside, yellow outside, and white inside. It looks like a 'gold wrapped silver' Ciba is soft in your hand, but you should pay attention to avoid burning your tongue.
Dumplings
There's a saying in Luoyang: 'on October 1st, oil is pumping. 'it means that on the first day of October, people will cook fried food, chop meat, make dumplings and prepare food for ancestors. Huantai residents often use "fried stuffing" to sacrifice ancestors.
There is a folk saying that "dumplings do not freeze ears" at the winter solstice, which comes from Zhang Zhongjing, the medical saint. He saw that the ears of the common people were frozen in the severe cold, so he used bread to dispel the cold, and cooked it to make "Jiaoer soup" to cure the ears of the common people. Generally, dumpling stuffing has meat and vegetable, which can play a role in tonic and health preservation. In addition to the necessary meat and vegetables, garlic and other seasonings can also play a role in improving the body's resistance.
