On the Lantern Festival, southerners eat glutinous rice balls, mainly praying for the whole family to be round and round. The glutinous rice used for making glutinous rice balls is flat in nature and sweet in taste, and has the functions of tonifying deficiency, regulating blood, invigorating spleen and appetizing, benefiting qi and stopping diarrhea, and has the functions of warming the middle warmer, promoting fluid production and moistening dryness. In addition, the conventional stuffing of all kinds of glutinous rice balls is mainly fruit and dried fruit, including sesame, walnut and peanut, plus vegetable oil, the nutritional value is "higher". Boiling dumplings in water is the simplest way, but also the healthiest way to eat them. On the Lantern Festival, northerners want to eat Yuanxiao. Speaking of Yuanxiao, many people think that glutinous rice balls are Yuanxiao. In fact, Yuanxiao and Tangyuan are actually two things, although there is little difference in raw materials and appearance. The most essential difference lies in the production process. Making glutinous rice balls is relatively simple. Generally, glutinous rice flour is mixed with water to make skin, and then the stuffing is "wrapped". The making of Yuanxiao is much more complicated: firstly, the dough needs to be mixed, and the solidified stuffing is cut into small pieces. After being watered once, it is thrown into a basket filled with glutinous rice flour and rolled, while sprinkling water until the stuffing is covered with glutinous rice flour and rolled into a ball. Guangdong people like to "steal" lettuce and cook it with cakes during the Lantern Festival. It is said that this kind of food represents auspiciousness. Cantonese people are calm and down-to-earth, and they have the best intentions for festivals. Lettuce, which is most commonly used in festive occasions such as the opening of new stores, is also an essential holiday item for the Lantern Festival. Lettuce, which often becomes a common vegetable in the southern dining table, is homophonic with "making money", so it is also regarded as a festive thing symbolizing wealth and good fortune.
