The meaning of midnight snack
Midnight snack (also called midnight snack or midnight snack) refers to an extra meal arranged in the evening besides three meals a day, and the time refers to the rest time (usually from 9 pm to 4 am, because 4 am is the morning tea time in Guangdong).

In the city, there is almost no difference between the choice of supper and dinner. Compared with dinner, supper has more snacks that are not easy to eat, such as barbecue, sugar water (sweet soup), stir-fry and so on. Because consumption is cheaper than bars and discos, it is also another occasion for adults to talk about wine, relax or watch night ball games. There are various forms of supper, covering all kinds of delicious food. A reasonable and healthy dinner not only helps to restore physical strength and energy, but also helps to treat some chronic diseases; Unreasonable and unhealthy dinner is harmful.

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.
