Xie, a scholar in the Ming Dynasty, said: "The son of Levin, dressed in rags, died in the darkness of the first month, causing great chaos in the world, leaving him in the streets and lanes, and all the poor people were gone." Most scholars in Qing Dynasty agree with this statement. Lin Zutao's poem "Miscellaneous Fu at the Age of Middle Fujian" says: "According to legend, after nine years of incense, each boiled glutinous dates and hazelnuts. Sweep away the dust and throw it away, and send him a poor man to lose money. "

The 29th day of the first month is a unique traditional folk festival in Fuzhou and Xiapu. Aojiu Festival is also called Houjiu Festival and Filial Piety Festival. In the traditional concept of Fuzhou people, "nine" is hard. Early this morning, every household uses glutinous rice, brown sugar, peanuts, red dates, water chestnut, sesame seeds, longan, ginkgo and other raw materials to cook sweet porridge, which is called "lotus root wine porridge" to worship ancestors or give gifts to relatives and friends. Married daughters are also given a bowl of "Nine Porridges", and some even add too flat noodles, eggs, trotters and so on. And send them back to their parents to honor their parents.
