What does the boy mean by "Ciba"?

Mainly in the Double Ninth Festival, as a holiday food for guests to taste. Ciba is made of glutinous rice and potatoes. After soaking, put it into a steamer and steam it, then quickly put it into a stone spoon until it becomes soft and elastic. Make the rice paste into a big or small ball while it is hot, then put it in a pot with sesame seeds and flour mixed with sugar (or soybean seeds and flour mixed with sugar) and roll it, and you can eat it.

The spread of Ciba

Tujia people generally have the custom of "Baba" in the New Year. Tujia people are known as "28 th, pooping". Every year when the Spring Festival comes and the twelfth lunar month falls, every household will make glutinous rice cakes.

Playing glutinous rice Baba is a physical activity with great labor intensity. Usually, a young man hits, and two people stand opposite each other, rubbing first and then hitting, even if it is snowy, it will break out in a sweat.
