What does Jiangsu eat for the New Year?
Jiangsu eats Sichuan-style sausages and cooks jiaozi.

Sichuan sausage is a kind of pickled sausage product. The main ingredient is pork, which can be steamed, boiled or sliced for cooking. When frying Sichuan sausage, you can fry it with vegetables, and the taste will be richer. Jiangsu people's off-year is the 24th of the twelfth lunar month. Eating jiaozi on the stove means family reunion. The traditional ceremony of offering sacrifices to the kitchen in Suzhou is quite grand. Besides hanging red lanterns and lighting candles, the most important thing is to present all kinds of cakes and follow the principle that the sweeter the better.

December 23rd and 24th of the lunar calendar are traditional days for offering sacrifices to stoves in China, also known as "off-year". The folk sacrificial furnace originated from the ancient custom of worshipping fire. For example, in Ming Shi, it is said that "stoves make food". The kitchen god's duty is to control the kitchen fire and manage the diet. Later, it was expanded to investigate human good and evil to reduce good and evil. The belief in Kitchen God is a reflection of people's dream of "adequate food and clothing".
