What are the most remarkable customs and specialties in xiushui county, Jiangxi?
Xiushui county's whistle is the most meaningful whistle, and it has become the most local delicacy in Xiushui. Why is it called a whistle? Speaking of its origin, there is a very beautiful story among the people who build water. According to legend, during the Xia and Yu dynasties, flash floods and waterfalls occurred in Xiushui area, farmland and villages were destroyed, and crops were never harvested. Farmers make a living by picking wild vegetables and wild fruits on the mountain. After Dayu came to repair the water, he organized the masses to control the flood. The local people are very grateful to Dayu for his achievements and kindness in water control, but in that month of famine and disaster, they couldn't come up with anything good to offer. Think about it, during the flood control period, Dayu worked hard with the masses to control water, and for many days and nights, he didn't even have enough to eat. I'm terribly sorry. At that time, in the face of high mountains and dense forests, an old farmer suggested that we go up the mountain to play some game to bid farewell to Dayu to show our gratitude. So after discussion, people were sent to dig wild potatoes and kill wild animals. In this way, the boiled wild sweet potato is cooked into skin, the meat of wild animals is cut into stuffing, wrapped into a food, named whistle, and eaten with Dayu. Dayu and everyone found it delicious after eating it. Since then, people who repair water have made and loved to eat whistles, which have been passed down from generation to generation, making them more delicious and becoming a must-have for repairing water food. At present, every holiday, visiting relatives and friends, and major festivals, people who repair water flutes come to celebrate and entertain relatives and friends. Today, however, people who repair water no longer eat whistles made of wild sweet potatoes and animal meat. With the improvement of living standards, the materials used for whistles have become more and more exquisite, and the production has also been greatly improved.
