In the northeast, some families will provide a pot of rice, which is cooked before the New Year. It is called "next year's rice", which means that there are leftovers every year, and this year we still eat a year's grain. "New Year's Rice" is usually cooked by mixing rice and millet. As the saying goes in Northeast China, "two meters of rice" is called "two meters of rice" because it is yellow and white, which means "there is gold and silver in a pot".
During the Spring Festival, the old northeast usually uses cakes to worship the gods and ancestors, such as honey and Saqima. These are not only the food of Manchu and Mongolian minorities in Northeast China, but also the necessary food for Northeast people. Northeasters also have the custom of eating fish on New Year's Eve. Fish must be carp, originally in the name of offering sacrifices to the gods, and later associated with "Duoji Celebration".
Therefore, fish is both a delicacy and a sacrifice. There will also be many sweets, dried fruits, melon seeds and "miscellaneous children" in the old northeast during the Spring Festival. The so-called "assorted fruit" is the present assorted preserved fruit. These snacks are delicious food for people to sit around the fire and enjoy their old age.
