Snacks source
Lingnan is located in the subtropical zone, with long days and short nights, so Cantonese people have developed the habit of drinking tea and eating snacks.
Even so, the word "midnight snack" does not come from Lingnan. "Dream of Liang Lu" in the Song Dynasty says: "On New Year's Eve, the interior office presents a fruit box for supper, and all kinds of exquisite fruits are clustered (gathered) in the box: seasonal fruits, preserves, preserves, etc." "Snack" has been nicknamed "Snack" since ancient times.
The note "snacks" in Ci Yuan says: "Cantonese night market is also called snacks." This statement is not appropriate. Snacks include porridge, noodles and sugar water. Cantonese people enjoy these foods in after-dinner entertainment and call them "snacks", while "night market restaurants" are places to eat snacks. Strictly speaking, the earliest "snack" means dinner.
