How does the history of Shucheng Haozi Baba come from

Originating from Shucheng County and Huoshan County in Anhui Province, it has been spread in the Jianghuai and Jiangnan regions of Anhui Province. Speaking of the origin of Haozi Baba, there is a folk belief in Huoshan. It is said that on the evening of the third day of the third lunar month every year, the streets and alleys of the underworld are covered in red and green, decorated with lights and decorations. The streets and alleys are crowded with brightly dressed ghosts, dancing lions, stilts, singing opera, and dragon lanterns. The liveliness is incomparable to the Spring Festival in the human world, so the souls of the living cannot resist the temptation of the underworld and go to the ghost market to play. Some drink and listen to music, while others watch lanterns and plays. When the rooster announces the ghost market closing, some ecstatic wandering souls are taken away by the King of Hell and left in the underworld. The next day, the mortal world was in tears. They invited monks and Taoists to recite scriptures and draw talismans to summon the souls of their loved ones whose souls did not return. Therefore, the third day of the third lunar month has become a terrifying and uneasy day in the human world, known as the "Ghost Festival"

The old lady woke up and found that she was indeed holding a bead of green and fluffy artemisia in her hand. So she quickly told the villagers about Guanyin entrusted a dream to donate artemisia. After hearing this, everyone quickly went to the fields to pick artemisia and grind flour to make rice cakes to eat. It's strange to say that anyone who eats artemisia cake has safely passed the Ghost Festival. The news quickly spread, and on the third day of March, the girls and their wives would gather in groups to pick artemisia from the fields to make cakes and spirits. Until now, this ancient custom is still prevalent among the people in the Huoshan area. Of course, with the dissemination of technological and cultural knowledge, making artemisia today is no longer the traditional way of "worshiping the gods and warding off disasters", but rather a delicious food with unique local characteristics
