" The first rhyme to eat meat as a rare thing, is a kind of enjoyment of life, really reflect the ordinary people's family life then difficult and sour.
    Childhood came into the twelfth lunar month of the year came, parents do everything possible to add us new clothes, new shoes, I followed them to the street to buy a few pounds of pork, glutinous rice, bacon sausage back, ground rice balls. On the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, the curtain of the year will be opened. On this day, every family ate eight rice dishes. There are eight kinds of ingredients for the meal: jujube, mung bean, rice and pumpkin, especially the old pumpkin. Because of the "South" and "difficult" homophonic, finished the pumpkin, a year of hardship is gone, the year will be all the best.
    On the twelfth lunar month, he said he would like to call the "small year". When people eat food for their own benefit, the family members can not forget the sacrificial god of food.
