At the celebration dinner, everyone touched each other, talking and laughing, and it was peaceful. Only Wu Zixu frown, he knew that the prince had entered the trap of Gou Jian and Fan Li.
After returning home, Wu Zixu called his cronies and told them: After my death, if the country is in trouble and the people are hungry and cold, you can dig three feet under Xiangmen City to get food. At first, the cronies thought that Wu Zixu was confused by anger, and his brain was not bright. Who will dig food under the city wall?
Soon Wu Zixu was framed and died, and Wu was annexed by the 3,000 Yue family. There was chaos in Wu, and there were dead people everywhere, almost all of them starved to death. At this time, Wu Zixu's cronies remembered the boss's words and hurried to Xiangmen to dig the ground.
I happened to find that the brick of Xiangmen is not made of clay, but made of glutinous rice ground into powder. But it's not that important The hungry people finally survived the temporary crisis by this wall. Later, in order to commemorate Wu Zixu's achievements and kindness, every family had the custom of eating rice cakes during the Spring Festival.
Extended data:
It's not just rice cakes that represent people's wishes for the New Year. Due to the vast territory and different customs of China, people in different regions have the custom of expressing their expectations for the future when they bid farewell to the old and welcome the new. Southerners eat more rice cakes, while northerners mainly "steam", such as jiaozi, steamed bread and steamed buns.
But in the north, food is not the key, but "steaming", which means prosperity and represents the simplest wish in people's hearts, that is, getting better every day.
