What are the customs of the Millennium?

Yu Wang is the legendary water control hero Dayu, and the fishermen on Taihu Lake are called "water gods". Every year on the eighth day of the first month, Tomb-Sweeping Day, the seventh day of July and the Millennium, incense parties are held to commemorate Yu Wang.

At this time, after the intense heat, tea trees are in an excellent growth period around the Millennium. Speaking of the Millennium solar terms, autumn is getting stronger. In the old days, Nanjing people attached great importance to the "coming" and "going" of solar terms, and gradually formed solar terms customs with local characteristics in Nanjing.

4. Bailu rice wine

Zixing Xingning, Sandu and Liaojiang have always had wine-making customs. Every year on the Millennium Festival, every family will make wine and drink "local wine" when receiving guests. Its wine temperature is spicy and slightly sweet, so it is called "Bailu rice wine". Bailu wine is made from glutinous rice, sorghum and other grains, which is slightly sweet, so it is called "Bailu rice wine".

Step 5 eat sweet potatoes
