The name of glutinous rice balls is similar to the pronunciation of "reunion", which means reunion and symbolizes family reunion, harmony and happiness. People also miss their dead relatives and place good wishes on their future life.

The origin of the name "Lantern Festival";

"Noisy" means having a lively day. Because China is mainly engaged in agricultural production, it is "March in winter" in a year. After the Lantern Festival, the temperature gets warmer and everything recovers. Winter leisure has passed, so we should be prepared for farming, and we can't have any leisure. ?

Therefore, the entertainment of the Lantern Festival is not only a kind of "relaxing" leisure activity, but also a sign that people pray for a good weather and a bumper harvest in the new year, and greet the arrival of the bumper harvest year in an auspicious atmosphere with joyful laughter and festive gongs and drums.

Pay attention to eating glutinous rice balls in Yuanxiao:

Glutinous rice is not easy to digest, and eating too much will make you uncomfortable. When eating, you'd better halve your appetite. For example, if you can usually eat four or two grains of rice, eating two or two grains of glutinous rice is enough. Otherwise, glutinous rice itself will be sticky and difficult to digest, leading to fullness in the chest and abdomen, especially for the elderly, children and other people with weak gastrointestinal function.

Experts suggest that special people should eat less or not eat traditional Yuanxiao, and people with hyperlipidemia and diabetes must be limited. During the Spring Festival, many people who overeat are prone to acute gastroenteritis, and eating Yuanxiao will increase the burden on the stomach.
