It is as follows:

1. Laba porridge

In ancient China, the emperor of heaven and the monarch used dry things to make a La Worship every December in the lunar calendar to worship the gods. La Worship later became popular among the people, and its custom remains to this day, that is, eating Laba porridge on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month ("laba rice" in some places) to celebrate the bumper harvest.

It is recorded in Yanjing Nian Ji Laba Porridge: "Laba porridge is cooked with yellow rice, white rice, glutinous rice, millet, water chestnut, red Jiang Dou, peeled jujube paste, etc., and externally dyed peach kernels, almonds, melon seeds, peanuts, hazelnuts, pine nuts, white sugar, brown sugar and grapes.

2. New Year's cakes

New Year's cakes are cakes steamed with sticky glutinous rice or rice flour, which belong to the seasonal food of the Lunar New Year. Rice cakes are red, yellow and white, symbolizing gold and silver. They are also called "New Year's cakes", which is homophonic with "high every year", implying that people's work and life are improving year by year.

3. Tangyuan

Tangyuan, also known as Yuanxiao, Tangtuan and Fuyuanzi, is a spherical food made of glutinous rice flour. Generally, there are fillings, cooked and eaten with soup. In Jiangsu, Shanghai and other places, it is customary to eat dumplings on the morning of the New Year's Day. Tangyuan symbolizes a better family reunion, and eating tangyuan means a happy family and reunion in the new year.

4. jiaozi

jiaozi originated from the ancient jiaozi, formerly known as Jiaoer, which was first invented by Zhang Zhongjing, a Nanyang doctor in the Eastern Han Dynasty. It is also called dumplings, and it is a new year's food. There is a folk song called "A slight cold, eat jiaozi for the New Year."

jiaozi's homonym "jiaozi" means the moment when the new year and the old year intersect. Eating jiaozi during the Spring Festival means good luck. In addition, jiaozi is shaped like an ingot, and wrapping jiaozi means wrapping good fortune.

5. Spring rolls

Spring rolls are also called spring cakes, spring plates and pancakes. Spring rolls are made by frying and frying dried noodles with leather bags, which evolved from the custom of eating spring rolls on the day of beginning of spring. In the south of China, we don't eat jiaozi during the Spring Festival, but eat spring rolls and sesame dumplings.
