1. Stir-fried corn: In the southeast of Shanxi, there is a custom of eating stir-fried corn. There is a saying in the folk proverb, "If you don't eat stir-fried, you will pour it all at once on New Year's Day." People like to bond fried corn with maltose and freeze it into chunks, which makes it crisp and sweet to eat

2. Sticky cakes: There is a folk song "Twenty-three Sticky Cakes Sticky" in Luxi, Shandong Province. Every year on the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month, it is the day when every family steamed sticky cakes and ate sticky cakes, which means to stick the mouth of the kitchen king and let him say good things in heaven instead of bad things in the world. Sticky cakes are made of yellow rice and red dates, which are sweet and strong, and the entrance is soft, taking the meaning of "high year after year". In addition, Hainan people use coconuts as ingredients to make coconut cakes for eating and praying, which means "high every year".

3. jiaozi: It is customary to eat jiaozi in the evening of the northern New Year, which means to see the kitchen god off, and it means to "see off the windward side of jiaozi". When offering, jiaozi should be put on the platform. In addition, there is a folk saying that "it's delicious but not as good as jiaozi". During the Spring Festival, jiaozi has become an indispensable food.

4. candied melon: candied melon is an ancient traditional name of the Han nationality, which is not only a food for the Spring Festival, but also a sacrificial object (a kitchen god). In the past, I asked king of people to buy some candies made of maltose, such as candied melons and Guandong candies, on the 23rd day, both to ask him to put in a good word when he ascended to the Jade Emperor, and to stick sugar on the Kitchen God's mouth to prevent him from saying more. There is such a two-part allegorical saying in Beijing: "The kitchen god ascended to heaven-speak more good words".
