Shandong: kingdom of dough modeling

Shandong is a big province that eats pasta. Although the coastal areas are getting richer and richer, the habit of steaming and eating pasta during the New Year has not changed. Shandong pasta is based on glutinous rice flour, added with wheat flour and water, colored and blended into different colors, and various vivid images are created by hands and simple tools such as knife, scissors, hairpin and pattern mold. Shandong dough sculpture originated in Heze and has a history of more than 3 years. In the old society, dough sculptors "walked around in tears just to make a living", carrying boxes, walking around villages and towns, and doing it on the streets, which was instantly loved by the masses, but their works were regarded as gadgets and could not be put on the stage of elegance. Nowadays, dough sculpture art is valued as a precious intangible cultural heritage, and gadgets have also entered the art palace.

Zhejiang: New Year's Cake

New Year's Cake is a cake steamed with sticky rice or rice flour, which is a timely food for the Lunar New Year. During the Spring Festival, many areas in China pay attention to eating rice cakes. There are two colors of rice cakes, yellow and white, which symbolize gold and silver. Rice cakes, also known as "Niannian cakes", are homophonic with "high every year", implying that people's work and life are improving year by year.

Henan: jiaozi cooked noodles

In some parts of Henan, every family eats jiaozi cooked noodles on the New Year's Day, which is also called "Gold thread wears gold ingots", also known as "hanging golden turtles with money". Because jiaozi is so like gold ingots, jiaozi cooked them at midnight and fished for food, which is called "fishing for gold ingots", and it is this year and next year, but it will not make a fortune?

Guangxi: Zongzi

Every family in Guangxi will make zongzi during the Spring Festival, which is a big deal. We have to prepare two or three weeks in advance, and we have to prepare the materials. We have to go to the new year market several times! Mung beans should be shelled, and pork belly should be marinated with soy sauce, salt, wine and onion ginger for a whole day. Glutinous rice and dried fruits such as chestnut and lotus plums should also be soaked in advance. Making zongzi is not only a technical activity, but also a physical activity, which takes a whole day. On that day, it is best to find an extra-large pot, put the wrapped rice dumplings in the pot, and cook them well for ten hours, so that the contents of the rice dumplings can be mixed together like a chemical reaction. Cooked zongzi can be hooked up one by one, hung under the eaves or on the balcony (not in the sun), and boiled thoroughly in water at regular intervals, so that it will not be broken throughout the first month. In Guangxi, Zongzi is not only to commemorate Qu Yuan, a historical figure, but also a good gift for holidays. Guangxi people have given Zongzi a new meaning, and Guangxi people even regard Zongzi as a mascot. It is auspicious for Guangxi people to wrap Zongzi and eat it every year.
