On the second day of the second lunar month, Wenzhou people have a custom of eating mustard rice. As the saying goes, "Eating mustard rice for a year will not cause chronic tuberculosis (scabies). In the past, the common people lived in poverty, had weak hygiene awareness, and lacked medical care and medication. As a result, there were many patients with skin diseases (such as scabies) who were easily contagious. Mustard greens contain a large amount of chlorophyll and vitamin C. Regularly consuming vegetables rich in chlorophyll and vitamin C can improve one's own immune system, enhance resistance, and be beneficial to human skin. There is a saying that 'eating mustard rice does not cause scabies'. The "Annals of Rui'an County" states, "Cooking mustard greens for food can improve eyesight and signify the importance of removing essence.
