New Year's cakes, also known as "New Year's cakes", are homophonic with "high every year" and belong to the seasonal food of the Lunar New Year. They express people's expectations and good wishes for the new year when the Spring Festival approaches, and are full of auspicious meanings. The homonym of "Nian" and "Sticky" can be understood as the meaning of Chinese New Year or reunion, while "Cake" and "Gao" are homonyms, implying a step-by-step promotion.
In addition, the tastes of rice cakes are also varied, which has almost become a must-have food for every household. There are square yellow and white cakes in the style of rice cakes, which symbolize gold and silver, meaning making a fortune in the New Year. There is a poem called rice cake by predecessors: "The rice cake has a slightly deeper meaning and is as white as silver and gold. I hope that when I get old, I will be profitable, and I sincerely hope that my wealth will come. "
