On this day, people in many places will choose to eat "spring cakes". Spring cakes are pancakes made from flour and are usually mixed with a variety of spring vegetables and meats, symbolizing the new season, praying for a good harvest and family harmony. Eating spring cakes is not only the enjoyment of food, but also the expectation and blessing of spring.
In addition, the sting season is also the time when a variety of spring vegetables are on the market in large quantities, such as spring bamboo shoots, spinach, camellia, etc. These vegetables are fresh and nutritious, making them perfect for the day of the sting. Eating these vegetables can help detoxify the body, boost immunity, and welcome the new season.
In addition to food, there are some special drinking customs on this day. In some areas in the south, people will boil some heat-clearing and detoxifying teas, such as chrysanthemum tea, honeysuckle tea, etc., to cope with the "spring dryness" that may occur in spring. These teas are not only fragrant, but also detoxify and help the body adapt to the spring climate.
In general, there are many different food customs on this day, but all of them symbolize the welcome of the new season and pray for a safe and auspicious new year. While enjoying food, we should also cherish the gifts of nature, protect the environment, and make our lives better.
