The traditional diet of Qingming Festival is the most well-known moist cake. As mentioned earlier, the reason for eating moist cake during the Qingming Festival comes from the Cold Food Festival, which is a cold food that can be made without a fire. There is another saying that during the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom of the Qing Dynasty, when there was no time to prepare food for sacrificial sacrifices due to the prolonged war and chaos, they used dough to wrap all kinds of ingredients for sacrifice.
The common ingredients in the pancake include egg skin, preserved vegetables, noodles, meat floss, bean sprouts, cabbage, pork shreds, dried bean curd, peanut sugar powder, etc., which vary slightly according to local and family habits.
In addition, rice kuehs, including red turtle kueh, noodle turtle, grass jelly, rice cakes, as well as salted duck eggs, boiled eggs and other foods, are also common snacks during the Qingming Festival!
