Zhongshan Mid-Autumn Festival custom Xiaolan: eat chicken candy, taste fragrant pomelo dragon boat, rooster and other shapes? "Chicken candy" is no stranger to the older generation of Xiaolan people. The production method is to boil white sugar into thick sugar, add a little flour and shape it into dragon boat, pagoda, goldfish, rooster and so on. You Xiang is an autumn fruit with thick skin and good storability. In addition, it is homophonic with "you", which means auspiciousness and "reunion". Nan Lang: eat areca taro "Moonlight shines on the ground, and betel nuts are picked at the end of the year ..." Mr. Xie, 46, of nanlang town, still remembers this nursery rhyme, but the lyrics of "picking betel nuts" actually happened around the Mid-Autumn Festival. In August of the lunar calendar, when taro is cooked, it must be cleaned first, and it must also be "linked to children", which is similar to dragging children and bringing children together for four generations, meaning "family reunion". In Mr. Xie's impression, betel nut and taro melt in his mouth, and it tastes more fragrant with some sugar and soy sauce. Shaxi: Eating pig cakes for porridge Shaxi people celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival and have the habit of eating pig cakes for porridge. In the era of lack of materials, poor families can't afford moon cakes, so they use "brown rice cakes" and "pork cakes" instead. Brown "brown rice cake" is made by grinding glutinous rice into powder and mixing sliced sugar. The thickness is about 1 cm, and the diameter is 10 cm, with a small piece of thin fat embedded in the middle, which tastes sweet and greasy. "Pig cake" is made of flour in the shape of a pig and sold in a pig cage. It is affectionately called "children's moon cake". As for the custom of cooking porridge, fish porridge and duck porridge are common for the rich, while clam porridge and snail porridge are the main porridge for the poor.
