What do Chinese people usually eat during the Little New Year?1. New Year's Zongzi: Nanning people have the custom of eating "New Year's Zongzi" during the Little New Year. New Year's Zongzi is an auspicious symbol of the New Year. As the saying goes: "New Year's Zongzi, New Year's Zongzi, 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.2. People in Shandong Peninsula mostly make pasta after the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month. Every family is busy making jujube cakes (also known as big steamed buns), reunion cakes, longevity peaches and other pasta patterns to represent family reunion and a prosperous life year after year. This method of making is rather troublesome. The dough needs to be left to rest after it has been fermented, then kneaded again and left to rest again. Then, it is shaped into various shapes of pasta and left to rest again. The pasta is then put into the steamer after it has rested. The steamed pasta is also called "noodle flower". It is very delicious but very time-consuming. 3. Fried corn In the southeastern part of Shanxi Province, there is a custom of eating fried corn. There is a folk saying that goes "If you don't eat fried corn on the 23rd, you will eat a lot on the first day of the New Year." People like to stick the fried corn together with maltose and freeze it into large chunks, which taste crispy and sweet. 4. Sugar melon stove sugar is a kind of malt sugar, which is very sticky. When it is pulled into a long stick, it is called "Kanto sugar", and when it is pulled into a flat round shape, it is called "sugar melon". In winter, it is placed outside. Because of the cold weather, the sugar melon solidifies and there are tiny bubbles inside. It tastes crispy, sweet and crunchy, with a unique flavor. There are two types of sugar melons, one with sesame seeds and the other without. They are made with sugar in the shape of a melon or a pumpkin, with a hollow center and a skin less than five centimeters thick. Although they come in different sizes, transactions are still calculated by weight. The large sugar melons can weigh one or two pounds, but they are used as a cover and few people buy them. 5. In the western region of Shandong, there is a folk song about sticky cake : “Twenty-three, sticky cake is sticky.” The 23rd day of the 12th lunar month every year is the day when every household steams and eats sticky cakes, which is meant to stick the mouth of the Kitchen God shut so that he will speak good things to the heaven instead of bad things on earth. Sticky cake is made from yellow rice, red dates and other ingredients. It is sweet, chewy and soft in the mouth, and it carries the auspicious meaning of "getting higher year by year". In addition, Hainanese people use coconut as an ingredient to make coconut cakes for consumption and for praying, with the auspicious meaning of "getting higher year by year". 6. Sesame candy There is a saying in Northwest Shanxi: "Eat semen candy on the 23rd. If you can't have any, just chew your fingers." It is said that Little New Year is the day when the Kitchen God goes to heaven. He reports to the Emperor of Heaven about the food, clothing and living conditions of the world in the past year and other things the Emperor of Heaven wants to know. Is it the Kitchen God’s reporting day? The purpose of eating sesame candy is to make the Kitchen God's mouth sticky with candy and unable to open, so that he cannot report the delicious and luxurious scenes of the world to the heaven, lest people who love to eat and drink be punished - the New Year brings famine, and people look forward to the arrival of a peaceful and plentiful year. |
