2. Spring cakes. On that day in beginning of spring, we paid attention to eating spring cakes, but on February 2nd, we also paid attention to eating spring cakes. Eating spring cakes in beginning of spring is called "biting spring", and eating spring cakes on February 2nd is called biting "Longlin", which is named because the shape of spring cakes is round and thin like scales. The custom of eating spring cakes on February 2nd originated from the Qing Dynasty, which involved meat such as sauced elbows, pig heads, tea ducks and vegetables such as leeks, radishes and bean sprouts.
3, fried oil cake. In some areas such as Beijing and Tianjin, people have the custom of eating fried cakes during the Spring Festival, which is called "eating gentian". The fried cake is golden in color, which makes Gentiana macrophylla very vivid. The practice is to grind millet into yellow rice, and then grind yellow rice into flour, which is yellow wheat. Yellow rice cake made of yellow wheat has four characteristics: yellow, soft, thick and fragrant. There are two ways to eat, one is vegetarian cake and the other is fried cake.
