ancient times, people in Nanjing took Minor Cold quite seriously, but as time went by, the celebration of Major Cold gradually faded. However, the custom of eating vegetable rice is still followed today.
The rice is steamed with Aijiaohuang (a kind of cabbage), preserved pork, sausage slices or dried salted duck, and some ginger. It is unspeakably delicious. Among the ingredients, Aijiaohaung, sausage and salted duck are the specialties of Nanjing.
