Every place has its own language and customs, especially during festivals, Obviously everyone is having a festival, but the practical activities are completely different.On the fourteenth day of the first lunar month, what kind of custom activities does Taizhou have, let’s go and find out together.
What is the meaning of the fourteenth soup of the first lunar month in Taizhou
In Taizhou, Shishigeng should actually be called Shishiyegeng.
Stirring vegetable soup on the fourteenth night of the first lunar month is a custom in Taizhou.Every household always stirs vegetable soup for a meal.On the night of the fourteenth day of the first lunar month, every household in Xianju, Taizhou cooks this delicacy, and it has been handed down to call this cooking method "fourteen night soup".
Taizhou has always had a proverb that "the fourteenth day of the first lunar month is the Lantern Festival, and every family makes bad soup with clams".On the night of the Lantern Festival, every family eats bad soup.The so-called "bad soup" is to fry shredded pork, shredded winter bamboo shoots, shiitake mushrooms, fungus, fresh razor clams, oil bubbles, spinach, etc.in a pot, then mix water with rice noodles, boil it, and make it into a paste, which is delicious.After eating bad soup, when everyone met, they asked if they had eaten the rich soup, and they went to each other’s houses to eat rich soup.Then, people took to the streets to watch lanterns, play with fireworks, watch lion dances, guess lantern riddles...and join the Lantern Festival team.When returning home in the middle of the night, reheat some hot and cold soup and drink a few bowls before falling asleep contentedly.
When is the Lantern Festival in Taizhou
In Taizhou, there are four main theories about people eating soup at night to celebrate the Lantern Festival on the fourteenth day of the first lunar month.
But in general, it can be concluded that all counties (cities, districts) in Taizhou, except for the descendants of fishermen from southern Fujian in Wenling and Yuhuan counties, all use the fourteenth day of the first lunar month as the Lantern Festival; The fourteenth day of the first lunar month is also the Lantern Festival in Xiangshan and Xiangshan counties.Since Ninghai County was established as a county in the first year of Jin Taikang (280), it has always belonged to Taizhou (Linhai County) until 1958, when it was assigned to Ningbo Special Area; and Xiangshan County was divided into Ninghai County and Shi in the first year of Tang Shenlong (705).The county of Yuezhou was established, and it belonged to Taizhou when it was established.In the second year of Guangde (764), it was changed to Mingzhou (now Ningbo).Therefore, the area where the Lantern Festival falls on the fourteenth day of the first month is limited to the Taizhou area in the early Tang Dynasty.To be precise, It was limited to the Taizhou area before the second year of Tang Guangde (764).
So this is why the Taizhou Lantern Festival is a day earlier than other places, and the fourteenth day of the first lunar month is regarded as the Lantern Festival, and the reason why every family eats bad soup that night.
