Therefore, the dumplings to be eaten during the Lantern Festival also contain sweet and sweet products such as longan, sesame, jujube, walnut, peanut, bean paste and almond.
When it comes to the Lantern Festival, it is imperative to mention the “Nan Hua Lan Lan†on the night of the fifteenth lunar month. This custom is related to the origin of the Lantern Festival.
In ancient times, people worshiped God at night, demanded a good harvest, and used fire to exorcise evil spirits. It was called “Pray for the Spring on Meng Chun Yuan Day,†and some scholars considered it as one of the sources of the Lantern Festival.
The most famous statement is the Han Dynasty's "to worship the Taiyi God." According to "Historical Records", Han Wudi had a bright sun on the first month of the month, and he worshipped the lights and spent the night in an all-out manner. He worshipped Taiyi at Taiyi, which was later widely recognized as the origin of Lantern Festival Lantern Customs.
The ancients used lanterns on the Lantern Festival this day because of the ancient "fire" totem.
Legend has it that the people invented the fire and taught people "cooked food." "Han Feizi" records: "The ancient world ... the people's food was preserved, and the odor was harmful to the abdomen and the stomach, and the people suffered from many diseases. There were sage people. The fire was taken by the saints, and the people said it, and the people said, Wang Tianxia.†Fire provided the most basic health protection for the survival of ancestors, and the “burning and healing†of fire also became the germ of medical “moxibustionâ€.
Lantern Festival Lantern Festival has different meanings in different regions. In addition to the original meaning of worshipping gods and exorcising evil spirits, there is also the meaning of asking for a son and seeking for Ding Fanyan in the south of China. This is due to the closeness of the “Ling†and “Ding†sounds. .
On the day of the Lantern Festival, there is a custom of “playing lantern riddlesâ€. Some of the lantern riddles about the fragrant medicine are particularly well-designed and eye-catching.
For example: the days of women scattered flowers - descending incense; treading flowers returning the butterfly around the knee - Cyperus rotundus; scattered into the mud and grind dust - agarwood powder; jellyfish spring sleep - benzoin ...... riddle in the fragrance of fragrant "fragrant medicine" really A lot. Since Shen Nong had tasted all kinds of herbs, the incense and the medicine were homologous, and the two were integrated into one and they were widely used and popular.
During the Han Wudi period, the aroma rituals swept the imperial court and the chicken tongue (also known as “cloveâ€) was spread among the officials. It was because the incense could be used to cleanse the mouth; in the Southern Dynasties, Liang Wendi “Lantern Fu†contains: “Su Recovered from peace and interest, Wax out of Longchuan. Obliviously reflected, reflecting the fresh. "It mentioned a kind of exotic medicine used in the Lantern Festival - benzoin, this fragrant fragrance sweet, breathless, pleasant, quiet .
The 15th lunar month of the first lunar month is a traditional festival of the Chinese nation. Folks have the custom of admiring lanterns, eating dumplings and guessing riddles. As a festive traditional food, although Lantern and Dumplings have different production techniques, they are made of glutinous rice as the main raw material, soft and sweet, and are loved by people.
Glutinous rice is a traditional food of the Chinese nation. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that glutinous rice is sweet and warm, and it has the effect of nourishing qi, invigorating spleen, stopping diarrhea, and stopping sweat. It is applicable to the nausea, loss of appetite, diarrhea, and diarrhea caused by spleen-stomach deficiency. Khan, shortness of breath, embolism, especially suitable for winter consumption.
Consumption of food ingredients varies from person to person
Many people like to eat Lantern Festival, but not everyone is suitable to eat.
The glutinous rice is warm, and all those who have hot and humid fires are exposed to fever, cough yellow, constipation, abdominal distension, etc. They should not eat.
The glutinous rice is also not suitable for children and sick people. As the “Records for Living with the Diet†says, “The glutinous rice ... is too sticky and difficult to deal with. Children and patients are the most intimidated.â€
When overweight and obese people choose, for high energy fillings, such as nuts, bean paste and meat, etc., should be properly restrained, may wish to choose fruit fillings, not only to satisfy the appetite, but will not increase the heat.
As we all know, there are two kinds of fillings, salty and sweet. The salty flavor is mainly meat filling; while the sweetness is mainly black sesame filling and bean paste.
Either way, add a lot of animal oil to the filling. As you can imagine, this kind of delicacy is actually a typical high-carbohydrate, high-fat and high-sugar food. It is certainly not appropriate for people with diabetes, high blood pressure and high cholesterol. Eat more.
Moreover, most of the starch in glutinous rice is amylopectin, and the increase in blood glucose after consumption is relatively large, which is unfavorable for diabetics to control blood sugar. There are some new types of fruit oysters, vegetarian dishes, and so on. In fact, they have unique flavors. It is a good food for this group of people.
Sticky rice is very sticky and difficult to digest. As in the "Ben Jing Feng Yuan," it says: "If you make rice cakes, if you make cakes, sex will be difficult to transport. The patient will not eat."
For postoperative patients with cancer, patients after chemotherapy, patients with gastrointestinal ulcers, chronic pancreatic diseases, and chronic gastroenteritis, especially people with digestive tract tumors such as bile ducts, pancreas, liver, esophagus and stomach, if sticky Excessive eating of sex foods can make the gastrointestinal burden too heavy and extremely unfavorable to the disease.
How to match with stress
In the ingredients of glutinous rice products, we can consider more foods with high nutritional value, low energy, and low fat. In particular, using coarse grains as the main ingredient of glutinous rice products is often more suitable for modern people.
Taking Yuanxiao as an example, because it contains glutinous rice flour, it can be eaten as a staple food; its various fillings are rich, such as stuffing with dates, nuts, red bean paste and fresh meat. Therefore, in the purchase of Lantern Festival, we should try our best to choose different flavors and complement each other to really improve the nutritional value of food.
In the production of glutinous rice-based food, in addition to traditional eating methods, fruit and vegetable juices (squash juice, celery juice, tomato juice, etc.) can also be added to glutinous rice flour. Enticing, can increase appetite, nutrition is also more abundant.
Because glutinous rice is not easy to digest, you may wish to mix it with foods that help digestion, such as hawthorn, tangerine peel, raw white radish, etc. The "Compendium of Materia Medica" records that white radish "live raw, quench thirst and wide in the middle; cooking, eliminating phlegm and phlegm", the history of radish in China has been used to treat chronic food intake, indigestion, etc..
Daily consumption is limited
For a large Yuanxiao, due to the weight of the person, people eat more, the gastrointestinal tract will be uncomfortable, even pan-acid water, snoring, will also affect the intake of other foods, so we recommend that you taste two large Lanterns once can.
Lanterns in supermarkets tend to be smaller in size. According to their preferences and appetites, they can eat 4 to 8 at a time.
Because glutinous rice contains a lot of starch, energy is also high, so after eating Lantern Festival, the amount of staple food must be reduced accordingly.
Nowadays, people eat Yuanxiao to taste more, so they often do not eat very much at once. After the Yuanxiao which is not finished, not only does the taste decline, the soup becomes turbid, and it is not conducive to human body absorption.
Therefore, it is not advisable to cook the Lantern once and try to eat it once. The remaining lanterns must be stored frozen in the refrigerator, and the storage time should not be too long.
