The eating and drinking customs in Fujian southern part can be regarded as a culture that has been brought up and handed down in the region. In daily lives, people feel and realize the working of the life and nature. While they adapted to life, they formed an idea ‶Medicine and Food Coming have the e Same Source". They inherited this idea through their long history. Therefore, we can say this idea is a basic system that has been supporting their lives since the ancient times and is the wisdom for keeping themselves healthy by themselves. The eating and drinking customs based on the idea ‶Medicine and Food Coming have the e Same Source" is one of the themes that the academic societies have been interested in. In this essay, I will try to analyze the eating and drinking customs in the annual events in southern Fujian concretely with regard to the idea of five Yin and Yang. And I would like to elucidate relations between the local eating and drinking customs and the characteristic of Chinese traditional culture. The fact that the idea of five Yin and Yang is involved in the annual events in southern Fujian shows the idea that basically every creature is medicine. And this shows that people there have the Chinese traditional Yin and Yang idea as a basis of their living. The fact epitomizes virtues and wisdoms of the Chinese traditional idea. I think the eating and drinking customs have an important role to hand the ideas and wisdoms down to their descendants in local society..
