Tomorrow is the seventh day of the first lunar month, and Chaoshan people are accustomed to eating "seven dishes" on this day. Do you know which dishes can be used as "seven dishes"?
There is such a saying in the Chaoshan area:The first seven eats seven vegetables, and the more you eat, the more you will be born (young). The slave boy (child) eats and her face is rosy, and Zi Niang (little girl) eats it like a flower.
The seventh day of the first month in this saying is the seventh day of the first month of the new year. On this day, every household in the Chaoshan area eats "seven kinds of dishes". Seven kinds of vegetables, also known as seven kinds of soup, is to cook seven kinds of vegetables together, take a good intention, can be bright and prosperous. But it's not just about just cooking seven kinds of vegetables together, it's exquisite.
The traditional "seven kinds of vegetables" refer to: mustard greens, thick he, celery, garlic, spring vegetables, leeks, and kale boiled together, and the "new (celery) spring hair (garlic) big wealth (big vegetables), long (leeks) and each person (kale)."
The seven dishes may vary from place to place. "Chaoshan people love Chaoshan" is a Puning person, and our seven dishes are mainly composed of the following dishes:
The seven dishes are generally:
Haruna (vigorous upward).
The big dish (Daihatsu vigorous) is actually mustard greens. Usually, Chaoshan people make big dishes into pickles.
Korat(Foreign words, in Chinese it is called "cabbage", "cabbage", "cabbage", "cabbage", and Guangzhou people call it "cabbage".) Because of the layers of wrapping, Korat means that it is broad-minded.
Garlic (budget-conscious). Some people also say that garlic means that there is money "counted". In Teochew, it is pronounced the same as garlic. The garlic spoken of by the Chaoshan people is different from the saying of the northerners, and the garlic referred to by the Chaoshan people is the garlic leaves of the northerners.
Qin (industrious). The pronunciation of "芹" in Teochew is the same as that of Qin. The "celery" here is celery.
Houhe (kind-hearted). In the minds of Chaoshan people, Houhe cuisine means "kindness and harmony". Houhe vegetables are actually kraft vegetables and thick skin vegetables. Its proper name is Gong Cai or Juda Cai, which is a variety of the genus Beet in the Chenopinoa family. Seedlings or leaves are used as vegetables.
Kale,The main thing is to take its homonym - everyone. Connected with the thick combination, the pronunciation is: together with each person.
If the above deficiencies can also be used Wyvern (spinach; Feihuang Tengda), leeks (long and long), snow peas (benevolent and hearty), etc.
It is also said that the "seven kinds of vegetables" refer to: "large (large mustard) vegetables, thick he, celery, garlic, spring vegetables, leeks, kale", that is, "Korat" is replaced with "leek", which may be this version before Korat was introduced to China.
The meaning of the seven dishes: "new (celery) spring hair (garlic) great wealth (big dish), long (leek) and everyone (kale)".
In fact, there are many dishes that can be used as seven dishes, mainly because the meaning or homonym is more auspicious. If you are a rural person, the average family grows a lot of vegetables, and almost all the vegetables you grow at home can be made into seven kinds of vegetables.
If you can't get enough of the seven vegetables you grow at home, it's also interesting to see how each family can get seven kinds of food: some buy them at the market, some grow them at home, and some people don't have enough of them, so they ask their neighbors for them. Some people even go to other people's vegetable gardens to pick vegetables, and the owner of the vegetable garden has no opinion when he finds out, and his smile is opposite. Because this shows that the master's vegetables (wealth) are prosperous, and the garden is full of vegetables (wealth)!.
