Beginning of spring eats spring cakes and radishes in the north during the solar term. Because eating spring cakes is a good blessing for people in beginning of spring for a year, spring cakes are generally used to roll vegetables, including cooked vegetables and stir-fried dishes. In the past, when we ate spring cakes, we paid attention to the "Pan Su" of Box Hotel, which was a sauce meat shop. The shopkeeper sent someone to send the food home, and the box contained smoked tripe, pine nuts tripe and so on. When eating, we changed the knife and cut it into filaments, and served it with several home-cooked dishes to make spring cakes. In addition, on this day in beginning of spring, the most representative food in the north is radish. Eating radish can be divided into various forms such as slicing, shredding and stuffing.
