Chinese Culture

According to the chinese 50000 years history, there have kinds of traditional festivals. And depends on traditional festivals which day have we are own custom like food and which food is the most important in festivals day. I am going to talk about the days DongZhi Jie(Winter Solstice), DuanWu Jie(Dragon Boat Festival),YuanXiao Jie(the Lantern Festival),ZhongQiu Jie(the Moon Festival ) and so on.

 

First, Winter Solstice which days we eat HunDun which is similar with dumpling, But their very different. HunDun just boil in the water never for fry and the shape of skin is square and the dumpling is staple food but HunDun is almost snack. The other food we have to eat is Tangyuan, which is made of rice inside of seame and peanut.

 

Second is Dragon Boat Festival, in that days we always prepare eating glutinous rice dumplimg. Which's made of leaf cover with rice and tie with thread and steamed. Which is my favorite food.

 

Third is the Lanten Restival. In which day we eat Yuanxiao, that is also made of rice inside of seame and peanut but different with TangYuan. Yuanxiao is bigger and soft than TangYuan. But their also cousin.

 

Fourth is the moon festival which day we eat mooncake which is made of wheat flour and inside if peanut or red mean or the other things. The reason why called mooncake because of which days moon is the most round and chinese also get together eat mooncake see the round moon.

 

Chinese traditional festivals food very interesting, their have own meaning of every special food. If we did not eat festivals food in which day We could be sad or feelings uncomfortable. As the saying goes It is saying that we missing festivals food might be unluck which years.
