In the Song Dynasty, a novel food for the Lantern Festival was popular among the people. This kind of food was first called "Floating Yuanzi" and later called "Yuanxiao", and businessmen also called it "Yuanbao".

On the fifteenth day of the first month, Yuanxiao, or "Tangyuan", is filled with white sugar, roses, sesame seeds, red bean paste, yellow cinnamon, walnut kernels, nuts, jujube paste, etc., and wrapped in glutinous rice flour into a round shape, which can be vegetarian and has different flavors. It can be boiled in soup, fried and steamed, which means a happy reunion. Shaanxi dumplings are not wrapped, but "rolled" in glutinous rice flour, or boiled or fried, hot and round.

Experts said that Yuanxiao was often called "glutinous rice balls" at first, because it floated on the water after boiling, which was beautiful and reminiscent of a bright moon hanging in the clouds. There is a bright moon in the sky, dumplings in a bowl, and every household is round and round, symbolizing reunion and good luck. Therefore, eating Yuanxiao expresses people's love for family reunion.

The practice of fried dumplings:

200g of yuanxiao, eggs 1 piece, 50g of bread crumbs and 300g of edible oil.
