Ejiao cake, one of the representative snacks of Han nationality in China, has a long history. Tangyuan originated in the Song Dynasty, when Mingzhou (now Ningbo) began to eat a novel food.

That is, black sesame, lard and sugar are used as raw materials. First, black sesame seeds are ground into powder, then lard and sugar are put into the mixture one after another and kneaded into balls to make stuffing, and the outside is kneaded into a circle with glutinous rice flour. It tastes sweet and delicious when cooked. Because this kind of dumplings cooked in a pot will float and sink, it was originally called "floating Zi Yuan".

Later, some areas renamed "Floating Zi Yuan" Yuanxiao. Yuanxiao symbolizes family reunion, and eating Yuanxiao means family happiness and all the best in the New Year. There are many kinds of glutinous rice balls. According to different food cultures in China, the making methods and materials are also different. Most southern families are used to getting together to eat the traditional customs of jiaozi on the morning of the Spring Festival.
