My hometown is a beautiful place, and that is Fuqing.
Fuqing's specialties are oyster cake, light cake, September oolong eye, Taicheng No.4 loquat and Longtian sweet potato pill.
Among them, the most famous one is Light Cake, which was made by Qi Jiguang for the convenience of soldiers.
The front of the light cake is swollen, covered with white sesame seeds, and the back is flat, with many cracks and potholes.
This light cake is known to every household, men, women and children.
Qi Jiguang was a national hero and an outstanding strategist in the Ming Dynasty.
in the summer and autumn of the forty-first year of Jiajing (1562), the Japanese invaders invaded Fujian on a large scale, causing serious losses to people's lives and property.
In a critical situation, Qi Jiguang was ordered to lead troops to help Fujian.
Because the army is constantly chasing and annihilating the enemy, sometimes there is no time to eat. In order not to miss the fighter plane and effectively destroy the enemy, Qi Jiguang made a lot of cakes with flour, punched a hole in it, and hung them on the soldiers as dry food for marching, which is very convenient.
Later, people in Fujian coastal areas called this cake "Guangbing" to commemorate the achievements made by Qi Jiguang and Qi Jiajun in the fight against Japanese invaders. It is one of the cakes that people in Fuzhou like.
Fuzhou still maintains the custom of eating light cakes and collecting eastern cakes.
Light cakes are made of flour, rubbed with proper amount of water and a little salt, then kneaded into small cakes, pasted on the inner wall of the oven and baked.
Light cakes are easy to carry and have a long storage time, which is very useful.
first, light cakes were used as military food in history.
In the anti-Japanese war in the southeast coast of Qi Jiguang, the light cake is one of the staple foods of Qi Jiajun, which played a certain role in the anti-Japanese war. In War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, * * * officers and men persisted for three days and three nights in the Battle of Minhou Great Lakes, relying on 2, pieces of light cakes supported by guerrillas and ordinary people to starve, and finally defeated the ferocious Japanese aggressors.
second, light cakes can be used for patriotic education.
Today, we will tell the story of "Light Cake" and "East Cake", which can inspire people to carry forward Qi Jiguang's patriotism and love for the people, and contribute to the national defense and construction.
Old Bing Xin put it well: "As far as I know, among the most common cakes in China, those directly related to patriotic thoughts and deeds are bare cakes and cakes from the East.
The "missing the people" makes everyone think of the story of the patriotic hero Qi Jiguang when eating light cakes and collecting eastern cakes every day, which has far-reaching influence and effect.
I hope these two kinds of cakes can be handed down among the people in Fujian forever. " Third, the development of light cakes and eastern cakes can promote the development of Fujian's tourism.
Light cakes and Zhengdong cakes have unique fragrance and taste. As the saying goes, "Hongshanqiao light cakes are delicious", it is because they are fragrant and delicious.
Light cakes and Zhengdong cakes are better when they are sandwiched with side dishes with good ingredients, such as moss and red fermented grains.
many tourists like to eat.
If a number of snack bars of light cakes and eastern cakes are set up in tourist spots, it will play a certain role in promoting the development of catering industry and tourism in Fuzhou.
fourthly, light cakes and east-seeking cakes are also indispensable offerings for ancestor worship and grave sweeping in Fuzhou, which shows its position in folk customs.
This year, Fuzhou will hold the Light Cake Festival to commemorate Qi Jiguang's contribution in leading troops to help Fujian fight against Japan 4 years ago, which is of great significance for carrying forward the spirit of patriotism and love for the hometown and the excellent traditional culture of Fuzhou.
Fuqing has beautiful scenery, including Shizhu Mountain, Maitreya Rock in Haikou and Jiangjun Mountain in Pingtan.
Among them, I have been to Jiangjun Mountain, where the mountains are very majestic, some are like a little girl playing, and some are like a butterfly just flying back from a flower, which is very beautiful! The "first sight" there is really worthy of the name! We can see only a little bit of the sky in the crevices above our heads.
Fuqing is the place where I was born, with beautiful scenery and rich products. I like it very much.
This is my hometown, beautiful and peaceful.
I'm sorry, but these are the only ones. Please accept them.
