Eating Yuanxiao on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month is a very important folk custom during the Lantern Festival. In the Song Dynasty, when people celebrated the Lantern Festival, they would eat a food called "Fu Yuanzi". This is actually the "Lantern Festival" that everyone is familiar with.

"Yuan" not only means the first month of the year, but also sounds homophonic to "Yuan". Eating Yuanxiao during the Lantern Festival is not only a good sign, but also a wish for peace and reunion for the family.

Since people in the Northern Song Dynasty began to eat "Fu Yuanzi", this food has been inseparable from glutinous rice, sugar and other ingredients. It can be boiled in soup, fried or steamed. After continuous evolution and reprocessing, Yuanxiao now has more filling options. Yuanxiao with fruit, petal, nut and other fillings is endless. You can choose different flavors according to personal preferences.
