The Qingming Festival, also known as Tomb-Sweeping Day, is celebrated with a variety of traditional foods in English, some of which include:
1. Tomb-Sweeping Eggs (Qingming Eggs) - hard-boiled eggs that are often decorated with patterns or painted in various colors.
2. Rice Cakes (Zongzi) - sticky rice dumplings typically filled with sweet or savory ingredients, although these are more commonly associated with the Dragon Boat Festival, they can also be eaten during Qingming.
3. Cold Noodles (Ling Chun Mian) - chilled noodles, which are believed to cool the body and bring freshness during the warm spring season.
4. Buns (Mooncakes) - although these are more famous during the Mid-Autumn Festival, some regions may also enjoy them during Qingming, particularly the ones filled with lotus seed paste.
5. Green Vegetables - various leafy greens, like bamboo shoots, bitter melon, and bok choy, which are considered to be healthy and cleansing.
6. Fresh Fruit - eating fresh, seasonal fruits is also a part of the tradition, as it is a time to appreciate the abundance of spring.
7. Rice Balls (Shuizhu) - glutinous rice balls filled with red bean paste, sweet sesame paste, or other sweet fillings, often wrapped in bamboo leaves.
8. Paper Cakes (Zao Bing) - a type of steamed bun, often with a sweet filling like lotus seed paste or red bean paste.
These foods are often eaten in remembrance of ancestors and as a way to honor the deceased.
