There is also a legend about "Qiaoqiaohan". Legend has it that the ancestors of the poplar village moved here without a single seed in their hands, and in order to survive, two villagers left their homes to beg for seeds. When they rested on the way back, the two of them divided the dry food into crumbs and scattered them for the to eat, and accidentally spilled the seeds into the rock crevices and grass and could not pick them up, so a group of chickadees appeared in time, picked up the seeds with their pointed beaks and handed them back to the villagers, so that the villagers could survive and take root here. After that, in order to thank the chickadee and pray for good luck, on the eve of the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, the girls of the village would go to each house to collect grain and vegetables. On the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, the ** woman assisted in cooking, and the whole village ate it together. During this period, needles and threads, copper coins and other things are put into the pot, and those who eat them pray for skillful skills and good fortune.
Near noon, the "Clever Rice" came out of the pot. The fragrant braised pork and stewed vegetables are served with steaming red bean rice, and many citizens and tourists eat them with relish. At the same time, the scene also debuted the "Qiaoqiao" prefabricated dishes, which can be brought home.
