What does Fenghua eat on the solstice in winter?

Fenghua eats jiaozi, tangguo and rice cakes on the solstice of winter.

Playing rice cakes is also called pushing rice cakes. This custom has a long history in Zhejiang. At the end of the lunar calendar every year, the countryside has the habit of playing and eating rice cakes. Every household will grind glutinous rice into powder and make rice cakes as traditional gifts for visiting relatives and friends in the New Year. Therefore, the "rice cake" has become a "good mouth color" for folks to wish their relatives and friends to climb high every year.

Playing rice cakes is a science as well as a technology. It is difficult to make rice cakes before they are cooked. If you don't play well, it is not delicate to eat, and it will not be stored for a long time, and it is easy to crack.

In rural areas such as Chang 'an, Ding Qiao and Maqiao in Haining City, the custom of beating rice cakes with stone mortar is still preserved. Before the end of each year, every household would try their best to make rice cakes by themselves. However, with the decrease of rural labor force in recent years, the work is time-consuming and laborious, and fewer and fewer people play rice cakes.
