What to eat in the south during the Spring Festival?

1. Tangyuan

On New Year's morning, many families in the south will cook a round dumpling. In the past, when quick-frozen dumplings were not popular, everyone cooked them at home, made them solid, and finally sprinkled with sweet sugar. In the past, dumplings were not only soft and firm to eat, but also not as sweet and greasy as quick-frozen dumplings.

2. Rice cake

Some areas in the south will eat rice cakes during the Spring Festival, such as Hunan. The homophonic "rice cake" means getting taller every year. Don't think that rice cakes only appear in Korean cuisine. Our traditional rice cakes in China are delicious!

3. Chicken soup

In the south, many people like to drink a cup of warm chicken soup during the Spring Festival.

And children who study can be late for chicken wings, which means "flying high"!
