Zixing has always had the custom of making glutinous rice cakes with wormwood leaves and spring flowers at the vernal equinox. Fresh wormwood or spring flowers collected from the wild are washed and mashed and mixed with glutinous rice flour to make glutinous rice cakes. The prepared Ciba is green, with strong weed fragrance, fat but not greasy, good in color, fragrance and taste, and delicious.
