The Spring Festival is getting closer and closer, and people are starting to prepare for the Spring Festival family dinner.

Many people think that going to restaurants saves effort and time, but eating at home seems to be more festive.

So what does the food eaten during the Spring Festival symbolize?

Let me answer your questions below.

Contents What does the food eaten during the Spring Festival symbolize? Where is the best place to travel in China during the Spring Festival? What are the food taboos during the Spring Festival? What does the food eaten during the Spring Festival symbolize? 1. Eating dumplings symbolizes health and longevity. Dumplings are eaten on the first day of the first lunar month. In northern my country, almost every family does this.

This dumpling meal is unlike any other during the year.

This dumpling needs to be made on New Year’s Eve night and eaten starting at midnight.

Eating dumplings means "Geng Sui Jiao Zi".

This custom began in the early Ming Dynasty, and the original homophony of "Jiaozi" evolved into "dumplings".

At dawn on the first day of the Lunar New Year, every household in the north eats dumplings. In order to seek good luck, northerners often wrap coins, sugar, peanuts, dates and chestnuts with meat fillings into New Year's dumplings.

Those who eat coins symbolize wealth in the new year; those who eat candy mean that their lives will be sweeter in the coming year; those who eat peanuts symbolize health and longevity.

2. Eating rice cakes symbolizes having more food every year. Sticky cakes (also called rice cakes) are made from glutinous rice noodles and millet glutinous rice noodles almost all over the country, which means "higher every year".

Most of the food eaten during the Spring Festival is prepared before the festival, and most northerners eat steamed buns.

In the south, rice is washed in the first few days, which is called "Wannian Liangmi", which means there will be surplus grain every year.

New Year cake is also a must-have food for the Han people to celebrate the New Year.

There are many kinds of grains used to make rice cakes, and the methods of making rice cakes vary from place to place.

Among them, Jiangnan’s water mill sticky cake is the most famous.

People in the north eat white cakes or yellow rice sticky cakes, while ethnic minorities in the southwest are accustomed to eating glutinous rice cakes.

3. Drinking chicken soup symbolizes peace and peace. In some places in Hubei, chicken soup is drunk during the Chinese New Year to symbolize peace and peace.

Among them, the main labor force eats chicken feet, which means "making money in the new year", "promising young people" eat chicken wings, which means they can spread their wings and fly high, and the head of the family eats chicken heads, which means "getting ahead".

Zigui people eat fried white wormwood as their first meal during the Spring Festival, which is homophonic to "baihao" for good luck.

In Shashi area, eggs are eaten as the first meal of the Spring Festival, which means "real, good luck and good luck".

If you meet a guest, you have to eat two "poached eggs" that are cooked very tender and the yolk can be seen through the white, which means "silver is wrapped with gold, gold is wrapped around silver, and you get gold and silver."

<<< Where are the best places to travel in China during the Spring Festival? 1. Beihai, Guangxi (the mood can also be very bright in winter) It is cold in the north, and the northwest wind makes people not in a good mood.

Is there such an island in a dream?

In the warm evening, aimlessly strolling on the beach; the sky is high and the clouds are clear, looking at the blue water, with the person you love most next to you, and occasionally hearing a few seabirds singing. I think this is what the legend says

Be happy.

If you have ever had such a dream, then, during this Spring Festival, go to Beihai, Guangxi, and everything in this fantasy will become a reality.

6 beautiful sights you can’t miss: Silver Beach, Weizhou Island, Xieyang Island, Beihai Old Town, Golden Bay Mangrove Scenic Area, and Waisha Island.

2. Sanya, Hainan (the warmest place in mid-winter) Sanya has little change in the cold and heat in the four seasons. It is a winter resort in my country and is suitable for tourism all year round.

The best time to travel is from September to April.

Autumn and winter in Sanya are warm and pleasant, and winter is the best time to travel to the seaside.

In winter, even if the cold snap hits other corners of the earth, you can still wear summer clothes and beach shoes to stroll leisurely on sunny beaches, soak in the warm sea water, eat tropical fruits, and enjoy the romance of the ends of the earth.

Tip: If you go to Sanya during the Spring Festival, there will be a lot of people and it will be difficult to book a room. If you like to be clean and don’t want to bear high travel expenses, it is recommended to avoid the peak hours.

3. Jiuzhaigou (poetic wonderland) Jiuzhaigou becomes particularly peaceful and poetic in winter.

The mountains and woods are covered with snow, the waterfalls and lakes are crystal clear, and the ice on the blue lake changes into wonderful ice patterns in the temperature difference between sunrise and sunset. The thin water flowing between the frozen waterfalls emits refreshing music.

Main attractions: Washen Cave, Jiuzhaigou Rhinoceros Sea, Rize Valley, Shuzheng Valley, Spark Sea, Wucai Pond, Huanglong Scenic Area, Kangding Love Song Scenic Area.

4. Guilin Yangshuo (Yangshuo’s landscape is the best in Guilin) ??Guilin’s landscape is the best in the world, and Yangshuo is the best in Guilin.” This sums up the important position that Yangshuo’s natural scenery occupies. Yangshuo Lijiang Scenic Area is the essence of Lijiang scenery, with a total length of 48 kilometers. It is the best place to travel to Guilin.

A must-see route. The river in this scenic spot is clear and bottoms out, like the Lijiang River winding between green and majestic mountains. It is also known as the Baili Lijiang River and the Baili Gallery.
