Introduction to the origin of eating Yuanxiao: Eating Yuanxiao on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month has now become an indispensable part. "Yuanxiao" has been a traditional Chinese delicacy for a long time.

In the Song Dynasty of our country, this novel food has become popular. This new food floats to the water when it is cooked in a pot, so people at that time called this food "Fu Yuanzi" and "Tangyuanzi".

", the businessmen also praised it as "Yuanbao," and later changed its name to Yuanxiao.

It is worth mentioning that due to cultural differences, the methods of making Yuanxiao are different between the north and the south. The glutinous rice balls in the south are made smooth and delicate, while the glutinous rice balls in the north are rolled out and chewy, so there are also sayings of southern glutinous rice balls and northern glutinous rice balls.

.

As a northerner, during the Lantern Festival when I was a child, there were many vendors in the streets and alleys. They were setting up their tools to make glutinous rice balls. There was an endless stream of people coming to each stall to buy Lantern Festivals. My hometown was the most popular at that time.

The popular flavor is Wuren.

Nowadays, because the Lantern Festival is a festive food and vendors are encouraged to operate in stores, most of the handmade ones no longer exist. Now they are mostly the packaging bags sold in supermarkets, so now the names of the Lantern Festival in the north and the south are also different.

Usually they are glutinous rice balls.
