1. Legend has it that the Lantern Festival originated from King Zhao Zhao of Chu during the Spring and Autumn Period. On the fifteenth day of a certain first lunar month, King Zhao Zhao of Chu passed by the Yangtze River and saw floating objects on the river, which were sweet food that was white on the outside and red on the inside.

2. King Zhao of Chu asked Confucius, and Confucius said, "This duckweed fruit is a sign of the Lord's revival." Since then, eating Yuanxiao during the Lantern Festival has become a history.

3. The making of Yuanxiao is based on stuffing. The general process is to mix the fillings first, mix them well and then spread them into large round slices, let them cool and then cut them into cubes smaller than ping pong balls.

4. Then put the stuffing pieces into a machine like a large sieve, pour in glutinous rice flour, and "sieve" it. As the fillings collide with each other and turn into balls, glutinous rice also sticks to the surface of the fillings to form Yuanxiao.
