It was suddenly warm and cold, and spring came again. Many places must eat spring cakes during this season. This traditional food not only collects all the buds of various vegetables in the beginning of spring, but also indicates that the long winter has passed, the bright spring is coming, and the tired body and mind can finally be fully stretched. <br /><br />Today, I used spinach to make spring cakes. Let's call it "Jade Spring Pancakes". <br /><br />For stuffing and vegetables, I use all vegetarian dishes today, and the seasonings are very simple. In spring, it's better to have a lighter one. <br /><br />Spinach is sweet and cool in nature, and enters the large intestine and stomach meridians; it has the effects of replenishing blood and stopping bleeding, nourishing the five internal organs, clearing the stomach and intestines, regulating the qi, activating blood vessels, quenching thirst and moistening the intestines, nourishing yin and calming the liver, and helping digestion; It mainly treats hypertension, headache, dizziness, wind-fire red eyes, diabetes, constipation, indigestion, traumatic injury, epistaxis, hematochezia, scurvy, stagnant stool and other diseases.

I remember when my grandma was alive when I was a child, she would eat several meals of spring cakes every spring, commonly known as "biting spring". Every time the meal was cooked by my grandma. Eating with spring cakes is "mixed vegetables", which some people also call mixed vegetables. Although it's just a plate of ordinary stir-fried assorted dishes, there are many things to say and pay attention to. <br />Green bean sprouts must be included in "mixed vegetables", which means that the family is prosperous forever. <br />Then there is leeks. Because leeks are green, they are known as the meaning that spring can keep the whole family safe for a long time. In addition, because leeks are male products, spring coincides with the recovery of all things and the rise of yang energy. Eating leeks will be of great benefit to the body. <br />Then there are fans. Fans represent family ties, which can be expressed as the elderly's concern for their children. The other ingredients are served with some shredded pork, etc., and several ingredients are stir-fried together to make a light and delicious dish. Roll up the vegetables with pancakes while eating. This is called "biting spring"<br /> In the past, after the beginning of spring in Beijing, if you wanted to eat in a restaurant or restaurant, you would pay more attention to it. In addition to the normal banquet dishes, each person must finally be served with a spring pancake and a small plate of mixed vegetable caps. Generally, it is calculated based on the head, that is, two small pancakes per person and a small plate of mixed vegetable caps. The number is only enough to roll two pancakes. <br />"Mixed vegetable cap" actually means frying a small plate of mixed vegetables, then spreading an egg on top, serving with a few slices of sauce pig's head meat, a few cucumber strips, shredded green onions and a small plate of sweet flour sauce. Roll them together in spring pancakes, you have rich meat and vegetables, and it will taste delicious if you bite it in one bite. Hehe! <br />I am the only one at home who keeps everything simple. I don't need meat. I only fried a few spring pancakes, fried a plate of mixed vegetables and caps, and had a delicious meal. As long as the meaning came, it's fine, haha!

February 2nd Dragon looks up (excerpt from the Internet)<br /> In northern my country, a folk legend is widely circulated that every second day of the second month of the lunar calendar is the day when the Dragon King, who is in charge of clouds and rain, rises up; from then on, the rain will gradually increase. Therefore, this day is called the "Spring Dragon Festival". It is widely spread in northern China that "on February 2, the dragon rises its head; the big warehouse is full, and the small warehouse flows." The folk proverb. <br />Around the first day of February is "Jingzhe". Many animals, such as frogs, snakes, and earthworms, enter hibernation in winter, which is called "sting". Around the second month of the lunar calendar of the following year, the weather warmed up, and some insects gradually ended their hibernation state and began to come out to move. It seemed that they had been awakened from their sleep by the shining spring sun or the ear-shaking spring thunder, so this festival was called "Jingzhe". <br />Wang Laihua said that the legendary dragon was imagined by our ancestors based on snakes, earthworms, etc., so people also called the snake "little dragon". Around February 2, snakes, earthworms, etc. ended their hibernation and began to move. People believe that the dragon is the symbol of the son of heaven, an auspicious thing, and the master of wind and rain."February 2" is the day when the dragon wants to ascend to heaven and start its activities, so it is said that "February 2, the dragon raises its head." <br />So why not "February 1" or "February 3"? Folk experts explained that this is related to our folk customs liking even numbers. <br />Folk experts say that in ancient China, especially in the Qin and Han Dynasties and before,"heavy days" such as January 1, February 2, and March 3 were mostly considered to be days when heaven and earth were connected and heaven and nature were connected. Therefore, on such days, people need to do more prayers, sacrifices or commemorative activities to seek happiness, well-being and good fortune.
