The special customs of Lixia: weighing and eating yellow baked cakes. When did this practice begin?
According to research, the custom of weighing weight and eating baked cakes was introduced into the country from southern Jiangsu during the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty. At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, Zhang Shicheng, a salt man in Baijuchang, rebelled and founded a country in Suzhou, known as King Hao. After Zhu Yuanzhang came to Zhang Shicheng, he drove a large number of residents of Wu to the coast of northern Jiangsu, which is the "Hongwu dispersal" in history.
After these immigrants came to settle in the country, they still retained the customs of the Wu state. So, how did this custom of the state of Wu come about? This can be traced back to the "Sun-Liu marriage" during the Three Kingdoms period.
According to legend, during the Three Kingdoms, Adou, the queen of Liu, was rescued by Zhao Zilong from Cao's million-strong army in Changsaka, because Adou's mother had committed suicide by throwing herself into the well, and Liu Bei took Adou with him. Later, Zhou Yu mistakenly used a beauty scheme, and Liu Bei married the sister of Sun Quan, the king of Wu, who was a free mailbox. Liu Bei wanted to go out to lead the battle, and it was very inconvenient to take Adou with him, so he handed Adou to Mrs. Sun to raise.
At that time, Mrs. Sun lived in the country of Wu, where the climate was mild and the products were abundant, so that her husband could raise Adou, which was both safe and reassuring. So, Liu Bei prepared a lot of gifts, specially made a lot of steamed cakes, packed into 20 quintals, layered on top of each other, separated by green vegetable leaves in the middle, and escorted to Wu by Zhao Zilong. When I arrived in the state of Wu, it happened to be the beginning of the summer festival.
When Mrs. Sun saw the white and chubby little Adou, she was very happy. But Mrs. Sun also has concerns, after all, she is a late mother, and if there is a mistake, not only will the husband be difficult to explain, but she will also leave a handle inside and outside the court. The beautiful and clever Mrs. Sun came up with a solution:
Today is the beginning of summer, use the scale to weigh Xiao Adou in front of Zilong, and weigh it again in the next year's Lixia Festival, you will know whether the child is well raised. After making up his mind, he immediately put Xiao Adou on the scale. Zhao Zilong felt fresh, and also said an auspicious sentence in passing:
Niangniang, the child is hooked, quasi-safe, and well raised. Then Zhao Zilong happily presented the gifts one by one. But 20 quintals of steamed cakes have been pressed into shape, what should I do?
Zhao Zilong had an idea and said: "The main mother, according to the customs of our Shu country, every family makes cakes for the Lixia Festival, please accept it." Madame Sun happily accepted these collapsed cakes and distributed them to the palace maids to eat, and praised them all and said yes.
Since then, every year on the Lixia Festival, Mrs. Sun called Xiao Adou, reported safety to Liu Bei, and imitated a large number of baked cakes to distribute to the palace maids, so the custom of calling children and eating collapsed cakes in the south of the Yangtze River was formed. With the northward migration of immigrants from southern Jiangsu, this custom has been passed down in the Yancheng area.

It's not Lixia. Rather, it is the summer solstice or winter solstice.

You can also skip it, there is no rule that you have to eat.

According to legend, Zhao Zilong put 20 loads of baked cakes into the offering to Mrs. Sun when he was pressed into the form, so he had an idea to say that according to the customs of his hometown, every family in Lixia made cakes to give away, and then some people followed suit, and later generations gradually formed the custom of making cakes and eating cakes in Lixia.
Every time in the beginning of summer, people will pick the ears of the field to make malt Yunfeng cake to eat or give away, because the ears of the field only grow during the beginning of summer, so the cake of the beginning of summer also has a part of this reason.
After the Lixia cake was continuously spread, it was spread from the Jiangnan area to the Yancheng area through the "Hongwu dispersion" during the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty and has been preserved to this day.
