Qingming rice is a kind of Qingming diet, which is related to spring health care and nursing students. Guangdong Hakka has Qingming rice, and the medicine tastes different. It can be used as a snack or as a gift for relatives and friends, especially children. During the Qingming period, vegetation grows, which is the best time to eat all kinds of wild vegetables. Collecting all kinds of edible herbs from the wild to make Qingming rice is also the most seasonal feature. Commonly used herbs are wormwood, hemp leaves, Paederia, white male, shepherd's purse, wolfberry leaves and so on.
Qingming Rice not only represents Qingming, but also inherits the traditional food culture in China, so that we can reminisce about those wonderful times and, most importantly, mourn our loved ones. Therefore, when we are in Tomb-Sweeping Day, we should go to the market to buy some Qingming dishes and try to cook Qingming rice.
