2. Rice is a local snack in Fujian Province. On the night before winter solstice, Lianjiang people will get together to rub rice, and some people will sing folk songs. Therefore, in Lianjiang, the solstice in winter is also called "Reunion Festival" and "Winter Festival". The main components of rice are rice and glutinous rice. They are mixed in a certain proportion, ground into slurry, and then pressed into a semi-dry state by external force. Finally, cut the semi-dry dough into small pieces and knead them into small balls, which are similar in shape to glutinous rice balls. Cook them in a pot, take them out and sprinkle with bean flour, icing, etc.

There are many customs and rules about rubbing rice. When rubbing rice, put red oranges on the table, also called lucky oranges, which means good luck, and put a pair of plump little clay figurines on the table, which means making a fortune.
