Chapter 734 What is the reason for listening to the story(1/2)

The poor man from the family was so excited that he heard this and asked: "Sister-in-law, it seems that the Mid-Autumn Festival customs are really much, and it seems that only the only thing left is eating moon cakes."

"Yes!" Murphy sighed.

Youqing Lily also wrinkled her nose and said, "Sister Fei'er, I won't talk about this anymore. There should be other Mid-Autumn Festival customs during the Mid-Autumn Festival, right?"

"Yes," Murphy said with a smile, "The Mid-Autumn Festival will also offer something called Moonlight Horse." "Please search Piaotianwen, novels are better, updated and faster!"

"Moonlight Horse?" This is basically the first time the little guys heard this term, and they couldn't help but curiously said: "Sister-in-law, is this shime?"

Murphy said with a smile: "This thing is recorded in Fucha Dunchong's "Yanjing Sui Shi Ji": 'Moonlight horses are made of paper, with the top of them painted Taiyin Star Lord, like a Bodhisattva statue, and the bottom of them painted the moon palace and the rabbits pounded medicine. People stand and hold pestle, with exquisite algae, magnificent, and many sell them in the market. The elders are seven or eight feet, and the short ones are two or three feet, with two flags on the top, making red and green, fences or huángsè, and offering them to the moon. Burning incense and rituals, after the sacrifice, burning them with thousands of ingots, ingots, etc.'"

Murphy's series of classical Chinese made the little guys a little confused. After thinking for a long time, he thought about it and said, "Sister-in-law, it seems that he has this now?"

Murphy smiled and said, "The image of the moon gods in the Ming and Qing dynasties has undergone important changes, from the early pure Taoist picture of Chang'e, which was mainly based on Chang'e, to the secular image of the Moonlight Bodhisattva blending with Buddhism and Taoism. During this period, people worshipped moonlight paper painted with Moonlight Bodhisattva, also called "Moonlight Horse". Do you understand?" At the end, Murphy asked specifically, bijing, Moonlight Horse is not specifically understood, I guess how many people are.

The little guys said honestly: "It should be mingbái, right?"

Murphy giggled. After laughing, he said, "Okay, everyone probably doesn't understand the 'Moonlight Horse'. I'm now on the rabbit. I guess everyone in the old 49 city will zhidào!"

"Rabbit?"

"It's not the Rabbit, it's the Rabbit," Murphy said how to read it. Then he said: "The origin of Rabbit is around the end of the Ming Dynasty. By the Qing Dynasty, Rabbit's function had changed from worshiping the moon to children's Mid-Autumn Festival toys. The production became increasingly exquisite. Some were dressed as generals wearing armor and war robes, some were wearing paper flags or paper umbrellas on their backs, and some were sitting or standing. There were also kirins, tigers and leopards, etc. There were also vendors dressed as rabbit heads, or bare shaving masters, or sewing shoes, selling wontons and tea soup, which were all the same. Regarding Rabbit, "Yanjing Sui Shi Ji" records: ‘Every Mid-Autumn Festival, people who are skilled in the city use loess to make a statue of a toad rabbit for sale, which is called Rabbit Lord.’ In the old days, there were often rabbit stalls in the Dongsi Pailou area of ​​Beijing, which specialized in selling Rabbit Lord for the Mid-Autumn Festival. In addition, in the south paper shop, incense candles are also sold. Rabbit Lord is a children's toy for the Mid-Autumn Festival holiday in the old Beijing. According to the saying that there was Chang'e Jade Rabbit in the Moon Palace, people further artistically, personalized, and even deified the jade rabbit. Then they used mud to shape it into various forms of rabbit Lord. There was also a standard for coaxing children in the old paper shop. That is, respecting the heavens and respecting the gods in entertainment."

"Oh, that's it!" the little guys nodded. They were a little unconscious and said, "Sister-in-law, what about calling Shime? Isn't it enough to call Rabbit? Or just call Rabbit?"

"This," Murphy smiled and said, "My God is the honorary title for noble people in the feudal era, and then extended to the honorary title for gods. The jade rabbit is not a domestic animal in the mortal world. It is not a hare, but a god rabbit in Guanghan Palace. It cannot be caught and played casually. If you want to play, you can only 'please' a clay sculpture called 'rabbit' respectfully and respectfully'. Just as Fang Yuanshang, a Qing Dynasty man wrote in "Miscellaneous Songs of the Dumen": 'Sons and daughters compete for worship first. I can buy the rabbit master by carrying the burden.'"

"Ah, I just go to a Buddhist. I don't say I buy a Buddha statue, but I say I want to ask for it, right?" The poor man from the family shouted ugly.

"Oh, my family is poor, are you doing this?" Pingzi said curiously.

The ugly man from the poor family twitched and said, "We just hired a Master Guan a few days ago!"

"Ga? Please Guan Gong?" The others were stunned when they heard this, and Zoer Murphy was also surprised.

It’s not that everyone doesn’t watch Hong Kong movies, they often see this!

Drow Murphy looked at each other and asked carefully: "The family is poor, your family invites this, um..."

The poor man from the family continued to twitch his lips and said, "Don't think too much, I don't know much about this, but according to my mother, it is to bless the evil and make money!"

"Bless you to get rich?" Everyone was even more dizzy, "Isn't that the God of Wealth? How could it be involved in Guan Gong?"

The poor man from the family smiled uglyly and said, "Don't ask me, this is my mother invited me back! It is said that in order to show my sincerity, my mother walked back for more than half an hour! The Guan Gong statue, which is more than half a meter high, is at least twenty kilograms, and my mother actually took it back!"

The corners of the other people's mouths twitched even more.

Well, they don't want to ask about this anymore.

Murphy was also covered in black lines. He coughed gently, changed the subject and said, "Okay, I will continue to say that Mid-Autumn Festival is ready. Where did you just talk about it? Oh, I just talked about Rabbit, right? There is another legend about Rabbit. Do you want to hear it?"

"I want to!" the little guys said in unison as long as they don't listen to this Guan Gong who blesses and makes a fortune.

Murphy said: "It is said that one year, a plague suddenly broke out in Sijiu City. Almost every family had people, but it was not cured. Chang'e felt very sad when she saw this scene, so she sent the Jade Rabbit around her to treat the people. Jade Rabbit became a girl, and she went from house to house to cure many people. In order to thank Jade Rabbit, people gave her things to her; but Jade Rabbit Shime didn't want it, but she just borrowed clothes from others to wear, and changed her outfits whenever she went. Some dressed like an oil seller, some looked like a fortune teller... Sometimes it was a man's outfit, sometimes it was a man's outfit, sometimes it was a man's outfit, sometimes it was a man's outfit, sometimes it was a

It was dressed up by women. In order to cure more people, the jade rabbit rode a horse, a deer, a lion, and a tiger, and traveled all over the capital. After eliminating the plague in the capital, the jade rabbit returned to the moon palace. Therefore, people used clay to create the image of the jade rabbit, some riding deer, some riding phoenix, some wearing armor, and some wearing various clothes for workers. They were very cute. Every day on the fifteenth day of the eighth lunar month, every family would worship her and put delicious fruits, vegetables and beans to reward her for the auspiciousness and happiness she brought to the world. She also affectionately called her "Rabbit Master" and "Grandma Rabbit."

Listening to Murphy's story, Youqing Lily pouted and said, "Sister Fei'er, is your story reliable enough!"

Murphy said indifferently: "Ruguo is reliable, not a legend, but a historical story!"

Yes, my sister-in-law is still awesome!

Murphy didn't care about this, but continued: "I just talked about playing with rabbits. Now I'm talking about another custom of Mid-Autumn Festival, playing with lanterns. However, Mid-Autumn Festival méiyou is a large-scale lantern festival like the Lantern Festival. Playing with lanterns is mainly between families and children. As early as the "Wu Lin Old Things" of the Northern Song Dynasty, there were activities to put the 'yiidiǎn red' lamp into the river to drift and play. Mid-Autumn Festival lanterns are mostly concentrated in the south. For example, at the aforementioned Foshan autumn festival, there were various colorful lanterns: sesame lamp, eggshell lamp, shaving lamp, straw lamp, fish scale lamp, husk lamp, melon seed lamp, bird, beast, flower tree lamp, etc., which are amazing."

"Yeah, yeah." The little guys nodded.

Murphy also said: "In Guangzhou, Hong Kong and other places, trees are going to be movable on the Mid-Autumn Festival night, and the trees are also vertical. The lanterns are meant to be raised high. With the help of parents, children use bamboo paper to tie rabbit lanterns, star fruit lanterns or square lanterns, hanging horizontally in a short pole. Then they are erected on high poles. When they are erected, the colorful light shines, adding another scene to the Mid-Autumn Festival. Children compete with each other to see who is erected high and more vertical. The lanterns are the most exquisite. In addition, there are also the Kongming lanterns, which are made into large-shaped lanterns with paper, burning candles under the lamp, and the heat will rise up. The lights fly in the air, attracting laughter and pursuit. In addition, there are various lanterns carried by children in the handful of children playing under the moon. In the area of ​​Nanning, Guangxi, in addition to using paper bamboo to make various lanterns for children to play,

There are also very simple grapefruit lamps, pumpkin lanterns, and orange lanterns. The so-called grapefruit lamps are hollowed out, carved out simple patterns, put on ropes, and light candles inside, making them light elegant. Pumpkin lanterns and orange lanterns are also made by removing the flesh. Although simple, they are simple and popular. Some children also float the grapefruit lamps into the pond and river water for games. There are simple autumn lanterns in Guangxi, which are made of six bamboo strips, and white gauze paper is pasted on the outside and candles are inserted. They are hung on the moon sacrifice table for the moon sacrifice, and can also be used for children to play. Nowadays, many areas in Guangxi, Guangdong, arrange lantern festivals on Mid-Autumn nights, and large modern lanterns illuminated by electric lights, and various new lanterns made of plastic for children to play with, but they lack the pure beauty of the old lanterns."

The little guys were shocked and said, "There are so many tricks of these lanterns!"

"It's a pity that we can't see it!" The little guys from the Blood Cross Guild live everywhere, and of course most people can't see what Murphy said.

Murphy smiled and said, "Haha, everyone should go out for a trip if they have the chance!"

"Thinking!" the little guys said in unison.

"In addition, there is also a game in the south," Murphy said: "This game called the burning tile lamp, or the burning flower tower, the burning tile tower, the burning tile tower, the burning tile tower, the burning tile tower) has been circulated in Jiangxi, Guangdong, Guangxi and other places. For example, Volume 5 of the "Chinese National Customs Chronicles": "On the Mid-Autumn Festival in Jiangxi, children usually pick up tiles in the wild and pile them into a round tower shape with porous pores. At dusk, fire it in the fire tower under the bright moon. After the tiles are burned red, then pour kerosene on them, and then the fire is filled with fuel. Instantly, the four fields are red and shining like day. Until late at night,

When no one watched it, it was called the burning tile lamp. The burning tile tower in Chaozhou, Guangdong was also made of bricks and tiles, filled with branches and burned to fire. At the same time, it also burned smoke piles, which were piled up grass and fired after the moon worship. The burning tile tower in the border area of ​​Guangxi is similar to this kind of activity, but folk legends were to commemorate the heroic battle of Liu Yongfu, a famous anti-French general in the Qing Dynasty, burned the evil spirits of the French invaders, which were quite patriotic. There was also a 'burning tile' activity in Jinjiang, Fujian."

"Burning Tazai? Is this shime?" The little guys like to listen to stories. They always hear some fresh nouns.

"Oh, this," Murphy explained in detail: "Burning the tower means building tiles, stones, etc. into the shape of a tower, and then putting branches and leaves into the tower. According to legend, the custom of "burning the tower" originated in the Yuan Dynasty and has a history of more than 700 years. People sprinkled rice, sprinkled salt into the tower, praying for peace and wealth, and the origin was traced back to the Yuan Dynasty. According to legend, the Yuan Dynasty built a Yuan army camp in Quannan, which was set in Anhai Town. The Yuan soldiers and the people who were finally under pressure secretly organized and decided to revolt against the Yuan army. The date of the uprising was set in the Mid-Autumn Festival. Burning the tower was the name, and several villagers took action together to annihilate the Yuan army. In order to commemorate this righteous act, later generations continued the custom of "burning the tower" on the Mid-Autumn Festival and passed on from generation to generation."

"Oh, mingbái!" The little guys suddenly realized.

Murphy also said: "In addition to the above customs, there are also fire dragon dancing, which is the most traditional custom of the Mid-Autumn Festival in Hong Kong. From the evening of the 14th day of the eighth lunar month every year, the grand fire dragon dancing event is held in the Dakeng area of ​​Causeway Bay for three consecutive nights. The fire dragon is more than 70 meters long and is made of pearl grass to form a thirty-two-section dragon body, filled with longevity fragrance. On the night of the grand event, the winding and undulating fire dragons in the streets and alleys of this area are dancing happily under the lights and dragon drum music, which is very lively."

"Ah, I've seen it!" the poor man from the family shouted ugly.

"Watch it on TV?" Pingzi quipped.

"I'm also asking! Most of the Mid-Autumn Festival are gathered together!" The poor man in the family rolled his eyes. Mid-Autumn Festival and reunion festival. Of course, he didn't go to Hong Kong to watch the Mid-Autumn Festival, so he naturally saw it on TV.

"Tsk, who has watched it on TV!" The others rolled their eyes.

Black Moon Altair turán said: "I have seen a real fire dragon!"

"Huh? Black Moon mm?" Everyone turned their heads. If they remembered wrongly, the Black Moon Altair seemed to be from the north, right?

The Black Moon Elf Dance shrugged and explained, "Our family traveled to Hong Kong on the Mid-Autumn Festival one year and happened to see it. It was really beautiful and spectacular! Ruguo You want to see it. I'll send a photo to the forum and there were just some photos."

"Haha, that's great!" the little guys giggled.

The black moon dance smiled, and méiyou talked about shime again.

Murphy said again: "Haha, there is still a legend about the origin of the Hong Kong Fire Dragon Dance. It is said that a long time ago. After a wind disaster in Dakeng District, a python appeared and committed evil everywhere. The villagers searched everywhere and finally shot it dead. Unexpectedly, the python disappeared the next day. A few days later, a plague occurred in the big pit. At this time, the elders in the village suddenly received a dream of Bodhisattva, saying that as long as the fire dragon danced during the Mid-Autumn Festival, they could drive away the plague. There was a coincidence, this move

It actually worked. From then on, the fire dragon dance has been passed down to this day. Bijing is a legend. I will say the superstitious elements in it. However, China is the homeland of dragons. It has been more than 100 years of fire dragon dance during the Mid-Autumn Festival in Dakeng, Hong Kong. It is worth cherishing. By the way, I would like to say that the fire dragon dance activities in Dakeng District are quite large today. In addition to the head coach, coach, commander and commander, security team, etc., there are more than 30,000 dragon dancers in turn."

"Wow, so many people!" The little guys exclaimed: "Heiyuemm, we yijing can't wait to see your photos!"

Black Moon Alpine said: "Yijing is looking for photos!"

"Then wait and see."

Murphy listened to the little guys laughing over there, but he continued to prepare to tell a story. If the story was not mentioned, they would not dare to give up and continued, "Do you still listen to the Mid-Autumn Festival customs?"

"Listen!"

Murphy shook his head slightly and continued, "The ignition of the pagoda lanterns. During the Ming and Qing dynasties, there was also the custom of lighting lamps on the Mid-Autumn Festival night. Mid-Autumn Festival lanterns are not much the same as Lantern Festival lanterns. The pagoda lanterns are lit on the Mid-Autumn Festival night, and they are mainly popular in the south. The pagoda lanterns are lit by village children to pick up rubble and build the pagoda-shaped lamps. In the Qing Dynasty, Suzhou villagers used tiles to stack them into a seven-level pagoda in the wilderness, offering Ksitigarbha King in the middle and burning lamps around them, which are called the "tower lanterns". Guangzhou children burned the "fen tower lanterns" and used broken tiles to make them; there were also pomelo skin lamps, which carved various flowers and plants with red pomelo skins, and placed a glass pot in the middle, which shone red lights."

"The pagoda...gǎnjiào is a bit like that burning tower boy!" the little guys murmured.

"It's a bit like it, but it's not completely yiyàng," Murphy smiled. "In some areas of Shandong Province, there is a custom of throwing a handkerchief on Mid-Autumn night. On that night, a colorful platform is set up in the square, arranged in the shape of a moon palace, and set up jade rabbits, osmanthus trees, etc. Some unmarried girls dressed up as Chang'e. After celebrating and dancing, the girls threw some handkerchiefs embroidered with different colors to the audience. If the handkerchiefs received by the audience are the same as those in the handkerchiefs, they can take the stage to receive the award. Some unmarried young men liked by Chang'e when they return the handkerchiefs, they can give them a ring. After that, the two parties can make friends, and those who love each other will get married."

"Wow, this is a disguised group blind date, right?" the little guys couldn't help but complain.

Then they laughed.

Murphy simply continued to say to these little guys: "In Taiwan, there is a custom of an unmarried woman 'stealing vegetables and seeking a man' on Mid-Autumn Festival night. A beautiful woman with beautiful makeup stole green onions and vegetables from other people's vegetable gardens. After picking them secretly, it indicates that she will meet a good husband. Therefore, there is a proverb in Taiwan that 'stealing onions, marrying a good husband; stealing vegetables and marrying a good son-in-law'."

Everyone heard it all over, "Sister-in-law, do you really have this custom?"

"It should not be fake," Murphy said very irresponsible. "Since I'm talking about stealing vegetables and begging men, I'll talk about the custom of stealing melons and praying for seeds. In Hengyang, Hunan, there is a matter of sending melons and giving melons. In the Mid-Autumn Festival evening in Hengyang, Hunan, 'If anyone who has married a wife for several years and has been infertile for several days, relatives and friends will hold melons. First, steal a winter melon in the vegetable garden. The owner must not know about it. He paints it in color and wraps his clothes on it like a human figure. He holds an older person to hold a gold and sets a cannon, and sends it to his family to put winter melons on the bed and cover it with a blanket. He celebrates the day in the door, so that the melons can get melons and beans. Those who receive melons set up a banquet to treat them. If the matter is true again, the woman will cut off the melons and eat them. The common saying is that this matter is the most veracity. In Hengyang, any family who gets married and has children in the village, as long as they have a good relationship with people, there will be someone in the village to give them children."

"Uh... Is there such a custom?" The little guys grinned. In their opinion, this was absolutely feudal superstition.

Murphy smiled and said, "Of course, in other areas of Hunan, there is also a custom of giving melons to seeds, similar to Hengyang. On the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, when the owner is not in the house to watch the moon, the good neighbors secretly send him children. The person who sends children must be yijing people with children. They first choose the melon garden of the village's most evil family, steal a big winter melon from the garden, and draw the face of a doll on the melon. Then use a small five-inch-long bamboo tube to insert it into the belly of the winter melon.

Fill water into the bamboo tube until it is full. The child sender hides the winter melon in his quilt. When the owner returns to the room to sleep, he pulls the quilt with his hands. When the winter melon doll moves, the water flows out along the bamboo tube, just like a child wets the bed. And the family who throws the melons get up early in the morning and scolds. It is said that the more fierce the scolding is, the stronger the baby will be born in the future. Ruguo, if he really gives birth to children in the second year, he asks his children to worship the person who sends children to the "godfather" and "godmother".

"Okay, it's really not that there's only one difāng who believes so much." The little guys couldn't help rolling their eyes.

"There is also a custom of stealing melons and sending seeds in Guizhou. When stealing melons at night, deliberately letting the stolen people zhidào to make anger scolding. The more severe the scolding is, the better. After the melon is stolen, you should put on clothes and paint eyebrows, pretend to be a child, beat gongs and drums, carry them with bamboo carriages, and send them to children who have no children. Those who accept melons must invite melons to eat a moon cake, and then sleep with the melon overnight. The next morning, the melon was cooked and eaten, thinking that you would be pregnant from then on. In She County, Anhui, during the Mid-Autumn Festival, adults let children enjoy their gua or mother-child taro with their mother-in-law, and put them in the quilt of newlyweds, making the mattress very dirty. This way, it is said that giving children. A poem says: 'The Mid-Autumn Festival story is about giving children, and the cucumbers are always suitable for men. Innocents cherish the red quilt, and it is worth carrying water and mud.'" Murphy said again.

The little guys shook their heads slightly and said, "Sister-in-law, why are there so many legends like giving birth to children!"

"An old Chinese saying!" Murphy said helplessly: "Isn't there a word about nàme? It means that there are three things that are unfilial, and there is no descendant!"

The little guys are not unfamiliar with this sentence. They could only nod and say, "Hey, it's true!"

However, the poor family has always had the most problems. Shihou asked casually and said, "Sister-in-law, do you say there are three unfilial things, and there are two unfilial things without a descendant, and there are two unfilial things?"

The little guys also looked over curiously. Speaking of which, they are really not very filial. Which three are they unfilial?

"Oh, this!" Murphy explained: "'There are three unfilial things, and no descendants are great" comes from Mencius. Li Lou Shang. The original text is:'There are three unfilial things, and no descendants are great. Shun did not tell him but married him, and he was no descendants. The gentleman thought he still told him.' In the "Thirteen Classics Notes" commentary, there is a note below:'There are three unfilial things in etiquette. The matter is called Ayi Qu, and it is to trap the unrighteous relatives, and one is unfilial; the family is poor and the relatives are old, and not for the official position of the family, and the second is unfilial; if you do not marry a son, you will be sacrificed for the ancestors, and the third is unfilial.' In vernacular, you will obey and see that your parents are wrong and do not persuade them to fall into unrighteousness. This is the first kind of unfilial nature; if your family is poor and your parents are old, you will not be an official and pay your salary to support your parents. This is the second kind of unfilial nature; if you do not marry a wife and have children, and you will cut off your descendants, which is the third kind of unfilial nature."

"Mingbái." The little guys nodded.

However, most of these little guys are still young. Even if you have heard of these things, you won’t think about Shime too much, and Murphy will not say much. Instead, you will continue to talk about the Mid-Autumn Festival.

"In Xiamen, Fujian, every Mid-Autumn Festival approaches, the melodious jingle of dice hitting porcelain bowls during the night in Xiamen, the streets and alleys will be heard. The "Bocake" in Xiamen is also called "Bo Mid-Autumn Festival Cake" and "Bocake". The formation of this custom is related to the national hero Zheng Chenggong. It is said that Zheng Chenggong stationed troops in Xiamen more than 300 years ago. Every August 15th, soldiers who are full of heroic spirit of rebellion against the Qing Dynasty and restoration of the Ming Dynasty will inevitably miss their homesickness. In order to relieve and comfort the soldiers' miss their relatives during the holiday, Zheng Chenggong's subordinate Hong Xu invented a game of cakes to allow soldiers to enjoy the moon and cakes. Zheng Chenggong himself

It was approved from the thirteenth to eighteenth of the lunar calendar, six nights before and after, the army took turns to enjoy the moon cakes on odd and even days. This unique game was gradually spread and improved among the people and became an interesting folk activity. In the early years, the top prize cakes were mostly paid for relatives and friends or sworn brothers and sisters, and they bought one or two moon cakes and shared them. Who would win the “top prize”? The next Mid-Autumn Festival will be given a gift for everyone. Someone who gave birth to a boy would give two sessions. In this way, there will be more and more cakes every year. There will be more and more cakes. They have to separate two separate groups. Generally, families are hosted by elders and bought one or two sessions a year. The whole family will form a circle to play them." Murphy said slowly.

"Yeah." The little guys nodded.

Murphy also said: "The Hakka people eat moon cakes and moon-watching customs during the Mid-Autumn Festival, etc. are roughly the same as in other parts of the country. Hakka people call it August Festival or August half. When the full moon rises in Mid-Autumn Festival, Hakka people put out moon cakes, peanuts, grapefruits and other fruits in the courtyard, towers, or the plaza in front of the house, and prepare for the "Moonlight" activity. After worshiping the moon, the family will enjoy the moon outside and eat. Appreciating the moon is the business of adults. Children generally do not sit there upright and enjoy the moon, but chase and play under the bright moonlight. At this time, it is their paradise. Eating is a bit particular. Parents often let everyone eat these offerings for the moon god first. In the Chinese sacrificial culture, there is such a tradition that after the gods enjoy it, the sacrificers often eat the offerings, so that the entire sacrificial ritual ends. We eat them separately.

uog, on the one hand, I received the blessing of the moon god, and on the other hand, I fulfilled the traditional sacrificial culture. The people of Meixian said that eating these sacrifices is more 'beautiful', and eating them is more auspicious after eating them. In Meizhou, in addition to the traditional Mid-Autumn Festival food with universal significance, grapefruit is an indispensable festival food, with the variety of golden pomelo, also called Shatian pomelo, honey pomelo or crystal pomelo. Eating grapefruit also has a certain meaning. For example, slit grapefruit is called killing pomelo, which has the meaning of exorcising evil spirits. Some people say that peeling grapefruit is peeling ghost skin, which expresses the desire to exorcise evil spirits and eliminate disasters. In the Hakka region, in addition to ordinary moon cakes, there is a "five-nut moon cake", and a round cake of different sizes is pressed with glutinous rice flour and sugar. Although the social economy continues to improve, the Hakka people have always inherited the traditional food culture and developed folk food culture, while the Central Plains remains unchanged."
