In 2019, there are 14 days left for dragon head to rise, which is March 8 this year, exactly the same day as women's day. Chinese traditional festivals are always accompanied by some traditional food. Many people may not know dragon head festival very well. Let's take a look at the traditional customs and taboos about dragon head with Xiaobian.
Eat spring cake
On the first day of spring, we pay attention to eating pancakes. On the second day of February, we also pay attention to eating pancakes. Eating pancakes in the first spring is called "biting spring", while eating pancakes on the second day of February is called "biting dragon scales", because the round and thin shape of pancakes looks like scales.
Eat pancakes
Eat pancakes. Pancakes are the birthright of the Dragon King. To eat pancakes is to chew disaster for the Dragon King, to throw pancakes, and to bury his placenta
Eat pig's head
In the days when the second dragon in February raised his head, he was also fastidious about eating and drinking, especially eating pig's head, which was called the dragon head. But in the Republic of China, it was not heard that some people ate Longya, Longfa and Longlin, and some places were slightly changed. To add some new things such as soy sauce or tomato juice and make them foreign, it was also a feature of the times. On this day, the farmers called "eating longan" with vegetables as a group, and "eating Longxu" with noodles as soup cakes.
Eat fried cake
In Beijing, Tianjin and other areas, people have the custom of eating fried oil cakes on spring dragon day, which is called "eating gentian". Fried cake is golden in color, which is called gentian.
Eat noodles
Northerners like to eat a bowl of "longxumian" on February 2 to get a good start. Longxumian evolved from Shandong longmian, which is named for its thin hair and flowing water like a silver dragon into the sea.
Eat fried noodles
In BEIXIANG District, Shexian County, Huangshan City, Anhui Province, every second of February in the lunar calendar, when the lunch starts at noon, every family eats fried noodles. Stir fried noodles are cut into small pieces, and then stir fried with shredded meat, tofu oil, asparagus and vegetables. Because the cooked noodles look like worms, it means that we all fry the worms together and eat them all.
