When to eat Yuanxiao, and what festival is it?

1, Yuanxiao is eaten as a food on the 15th day of the first month. Yuanxiao has a long history in China. In the Song Dynasty, a novel food became popular in Mingzhou (now Ningbo City, Zhejiang Province). This kind of food was originally called "Floating Zi Yuan", later called "Yuanxiao", and merchants also called it "Yuanbao".

Yuanxiao is a glutinous rice dumpling, which contains white sugar, rose, sesame, red bean paste, cinnamon bark, walnut kernel, nuts, jujube paste and so on. Wrapped in a circle with glutinous rice flour, it can be vegetarian and has different flavors. It can be boiled, fried and steamed, which means happy reunion. Shaanxi jiaozi is not wrapped, but rolled with glutinous rice flour, or boiled or fried, warm and round.
