The custom of eating Yuanxiao at night is said to be because the ancient Lantern Festival was held at night. In order not to be hungry when watching Yuanxiao at night, people used to eat a bowl of Yuanxiao before watching it, but it was not recommended in the morning because of its sticky texture.

On the fifteenth day of the first month, we usually eat glutinous rice balls, sauced elbows, bean noodles, rotten soup, noodles, fish and so on. The dietary characteristics of the Lantern Festival in the south are "fresh, smooth and refreshing", while those in the north are colorful and heavy in taste. In southern Guangdong, the pronunciation of "lettuce" is similar to "making money", so in the first month, lettuce is indispensable in almost every household's dishes.

According to legend, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty lived in seclusion for many years, missing his parents and spending all day in Lacrimosa. There was a maid-in-waiting named Yuanxiao in the palace. Minister Dong Fangshuo was determined to help her, so he cheated the Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty.

Vulcan was ordered by the Jade Emperor to burn Chang 'an on the fifteenth day of the first month. The only way to escape from the disaster is to let the Lantern Festival girl make a lot of jiaozi that Vulcan loves to eat on the fifteenth day of the first month, and all the subjects will decorate it with lanterns. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty allowed it to play, and the "Yuanxiao" girl finally met her family. Since then, the Lantern Festival has been formed.
