This is due to the cultural differences between the North and the South. Since ancient times, there have been great cultural differences between the north and the south. The two different names of Yuanxiao and Tangyuan are also caused by different regions and cultures.

However, whether it is Yuanxiao in the north or Tangyuan in the south, these two different names have the beautiful meaning of family harmony, happiness and reunion, so as to express the feelings of missing distant relatives and the beautiful expectations for future life.

In addition to the different names, Yuanxiao and Tangyuan are completely different, and they are completely different foods. The practice of Yuanxiao is to solidify the stuffing inside first, then dip some water into a basket filled with glutinous rice noodles and roll it. In the process, water will be sprayed continuously, so that the stuffing can be

Covered with glutinous rice and turned into a ball.

The method of making dumplings is to use pig fat and black sesame as stuffing, then add appropriate amount of white sugar into the stuffing, wrap it with glutinous rice flour, knead it into a round shape, and then cook it. The dumplings made by this method taste soft, waxy and sweet, and are refreshing and greasy.
