In the Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai regions, both the "24th day of the twelfth lunar month" and the "night before New Year's Eve" are called "Little New Year". In Nanjing, the Lantern Festival on the 15th day of the first lunar month is called "Little New Year". In some areas of Yunnan, it is the 16th day of the first lunar month, and in some ethnic minority areas in the southwest and north, it is New Year's Eve. The Little New Year also means that people begin to prepare New Year's goods and get ready to have a good new year in a clean manner. It means that the new year will have a new look and expresses the Chinese working people's good wishes to bid farewell to the old and usher in the new, and to welcome good luck and fortune. What do people eat during the Little New Year in the South?What to eat during the Little New Year in the South: Stove CandyKitchen God Candy is a sugar product made from malt and millet. It has the shortest shelf life and is only available around the New Year. The intention of using this kind of sugar to offer sacrifice to the Kitchen God is to use the stickiness of the sugar to stick to the Kitchen God's mouth so that he can "speak good things to the heavens and ensure peace in the world below." What to eat during the Little New Year in the South: Rice cake The name of the dish Nian Gao is a homophonic name for the Chinese character for “higher year by year”. The Lunar New Year's Little New Year is also called "Ci Zao", which means eating cakes and sending the Kitchen God to heaven to report on his work. They steamed the cake, put dates in it, and dipped it in sugar to sweeten his mouth, and told him to go to the Jade Emperor and tell him about the good things happening among the people. According to legend, when Wu Zixu was building Gusu City, the bricks were not made of mud, but "bricks" made from glutinous rice ground into powder. The people used "glutinous rice bricks" to solve a temporary crisis. In order to commemorate Wu Zixu, people in Suzhou prepare rice cakes every winter. The shape of Suzhou rice cake is similar to city bricks. It is not greasy after being cooked, does not crack after being dried, and will not go bad even if stored for a long time. What to eat during the Little New Year in the South: New Year's rice dumplings People in Nanning have the custom of eating "New Year's Zong" during the New Year's Eve. The New Year's Zong is a symbol of good luck in the New Year. As the saying goes: "New Year's Zong, New Year's Zong, success every year (Zong)". New Year's rice dumplings are different from the cold rice dumplings of the Dragon Boat Festival. They have stuffing and come in different sizes, long and short, round and flat shapes. After peeling off the leaves, the skin is glutinous rice, and the filling is mung beans and pork. Some people also put their favorite foods as fillings. What to eat during the Little New Year in the South: Rice cakes The 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month is commonly known as "Little New Year". People in Wuxuan, Guiping and other places in Guangxi have the custom of making rice cakes. Rice cakes are made of glutinous rice flour as the main ingredient, with peanuts, sesame seeds and sugar as side ingredients. They are put into molds and formed into round shapes, then steamed at high temperature. They have a unique flavor and symbolize "reunion". What to eat during the Little New Year in the South: 24 Tuan "Eating dumplings on the 24th night" is a custom in many places in the south of the Yangtze River, symbolizing the reunion of a family and happiness. In Suzhou, the "Little New Year" is celebrated on the 24th day of the twelfth lunar month every year. Making, sending and eating dumplings are essential parts of the New Year. The most important offering in Suzhou people’s Kitchen God worship is dumplings, which were called “24 dumplings” in the past. "Twenty-four Tuan" is made of glutinous rice flour, and the fillings include fresh meat, bean paste, shredded radish and many other kinds. The steamed dumplings are marked with marks, some round, some square, and some petal-shaped, to distinguish different fillings. The new wave of annual fortune in 2019 has already changed.
