1, "Five-flavor porridge" The Spring Festival breakfast on the first day of the Spring Festival varies from place to place. Wutai porridge is eaten in both urban and rural areas. The so-called "five-flavor porridge" means five kinds of porridge cooked together: white rice, red dates, tofu, red beans (red beans) and taro. In a word, it originated from Buddhist monks praying for the arrival of "Five Blessingg" in the new year. Wutai is known as the "Buddhist country", and the local people believe in Buddhism, so this custom has spread in order to pray for good weather, peace and prosperity, and the people can live and work in peace all year round. However, the origin of this custom has to start from the end of the Yuan Dynasty. It is porridge made by local residents to thank Zhu Yuanzhang's rebels for capturing the county seat. The implication is that eating it will attract "Five Blessingg". Lunch is a special snack in Tiantai: "Twisted Cake Tube", and dinner is jiaozi or Chaos. In addition to eating, on the rooftop, everyone's children should wear new clothes and shoes ... which means "farewell the old and welcome the new" and wish a better life in the coming year. The luckiest day is children, who will get lucky money prepared by adults. Also, in my hometown "Red Silk", there is a unique habit. Although it is a legacy of feudal "son preference" thought, it is still a happy thing to have children. Therefore, red silk has a habit of giving birth to boys this year and holding "melon seed wine" on the first day of the first month of the following year. The so-called "melon seed wine" is to put out the new year's goods prepared by yourself and invite some neighbors, friends and relatives to eat their carefully prepared new year's goods to celebrate. On this day every year, people who manage "melon seeds wine" will prepare traditional new year's goods such as melon seeds, peanuts, rice soaked sugar, and now people will also prepare some new year's goods such as candy, jelly and canned fruit. This custom is popular not only in Hongchou, Sanhe and Tantou, but also in some towns and villages adjacent to Hongchou in Sanmen County. However, due to historical and geographical reasons, this custom only exists in the southeast corner of the rooftop. After the third day of the first month, it is roughly the same as other places, and it is the custom of visiting relatives and friends. As the last festival of China New Year, Lantern Festival is equally lively. Different from other places, Tiantai people not only drink soup, but also have a special snack "paste boil", which is designated as Lantern Festival on the 14th day of the first month. However, there is another story in the history of "paste cooking": an old artist and his daughter fled to Tiantai City under the iron hoof of the golden army, but fainted to the ground because of overwork, so they thought they cooked a bowl of paste for them to eat. After eating for a while, their eyes lit up and they repeatedly said, "Bright eyes! Bright eye cream! " Since then, Tiantai people have enjoyed the custom of cooking. Like other places, Tiantai people also like to watch Yuanxiao, but there are also different customs from other places. Every year during the Lantern Festival, there is a custom in Taizhou, such as Tiantai and Sanmen, to dress up some children as immortals and then put them on "sedan chairs" or floats. This is an important part of the Lantern Festival and a beautiful scenery for people to watch. 3. Tomb-Sweeping Day Although Tiantai Sect also worships ancestors and sweeps graves in Tomb-Sweeping Day, the worship of Tiantai Sect is different. They cook some regular food, as well as unique Qingming cakes and Qingming hinges, and their skins are also quite special. In addition to glutinous rice flour, there is also a wild vegetable called green. This wild vegetable is not big, about the size of a small vegetable, but it is a real game and green food. It is also because of green that the skin of Qingming cake will be green. Although winter solstice is not a festival, it is an ancient weatherman, and its arrival means the real arrival of winter. On this day, all parts of the country will eat some special foods to celebrate, but unlike other places, the habit of Tiantai people is not to eat dumplings, but to eat dumplings called "winter solstice yen". Its method is to call glutinous rice flour and water first, and then make it into balls. When it is ripe, add some sweet spices to cover it, so that the "winter solstice circle" with rooftop characteristics will be done. The custom of moving to a new home is different from other places. When moving from the old residence to the new home, the rooftop usually invites guests to dinner. It is often to set up a few tables of banquets and invite friends to have a meal to celebrate the new house.
