The juice is then mixed with dried water-ground pure glutinous rice flour to make the dumplings.The filling of the dumpling is made of delicate sugar bean paste, and a small piece of sugar lard is added when wrapping the filling. After the dough is made, steam it in a steamer. When it is out of the steamer, use a brush to evenly brush the surface of the dumplings with vegetable oil. That's it. There is a custom of eating Qingtuan during the Qingming Festival. Qingtuan is called differently in different places. In Shanghai and Ningbo, it is called Qingtuan, in Suzhou it is called Qingtuanzi, in Hangzhou it is called Qingtuanzi or Qingmingtuanzi, in Nanjing it is called Qingmingtuan or Chuntuan, in Wenzhou it is called Qingmingbinger, in Jinhua it is called Qingmingguoer (the crescent-shaped ones are called Qingmingjiaoer), and people in Taizhou call it Qingtuan. The green dumplings are as green as jade, glutinous and soft, with a refreshing fragrance. They taste sweet but not greasy, and fat but not plump. Qingtuanzi is also an essential food for people in the Jiangnan area to worship their ancestors. Because of this, Qingtuanzi is particularly important in the folk food customs in the Jiangnan area. This custom can be traced back to the Zhou Dynasty more than two thousand years ago. According to the "Book of Zhou", there was a law at that time that "in the second half of spring, a wooden bell was used to announce the fire ban in the country", so the people stopped cooking and observed "Cold Food Festival for three days". During the Cold Food Festival, one or two days before Weiming Festival is designated as the "Cold Day Festival". A new stage of life has already begun in 2020.
