Baobao rice is a traditional Han Chinese place. It is a food custom for the Lapa Festival. It is popular all over the country, especially in the area south of the Yangtze River. The recipe is basically the same everywhere.

Steamed with glutinous rice, sugar, oil and cinnamon are added and poured into vessels holding fruits such as red dates, Semen Coicis, lotus seeds and longan, which are steamed and poured into sugar and brine juice. The sweet flavor is a delicacy for festivals and hospitality.

Folk believe that the eight treasures of rice originated from the ancient eight treasures of the map, also used in encyclopedias. Early Eight Treasures Rice is made by mixing steamed glutinous rice with sugar and lard, adding lotus seeds, red dates, candied jujubes, candied longan meat, candied fruit, honeydew melon, barley, melon seeds and other fruit ingredients, sprinkled with red and green prunes.

Good color, aroma and meaning: lotus seed in the Eight Treasures picture is transformed from harmony and concord, symbolizing a harmonious and beautiful marriage; longan symbolizes reunion; kumquat symbolizes good luck; red dates symbolize the early birth of a noble son; peach and honeydew melon symbolize sweetness; coix seed is transformed from a crane shape to longevity, elegance and purity.
