The Spring Festival is a traditional festival of our Chinese nation, and it is also the most important festival for people. It represents reunion, happiness and peace. People will pay great attention to the Spring Festival, and different customs will be formed in different places. Next, I will introduce the eating customs in my hometown. During the Spring Festival, people will wake up early. Before speaking, they will definitely take out the cake put under the pillow on New Year's Eve and have a bite or two. We call it "open cake". Pancakes are soft and sweet in the mouth, which makes people want to eat more. If they jump out of your mouth, they must be sweet. "Gao" and "Gao" are homophonic. Children eating open cakes indicates that they will grow taller and get better grades in the new year. Adults eat it, and in the new year, they must be "high fortune and high fortune"; Old people eat it and hope to live a long life in the coming year. It is precisely because of people's longing for the New Year that eating open cakes has become the first thing in the New Year. After opening the door, the whole family put on new clothes. After washing, they all have a reunion dinner around the table, that is, eat glutinous rice balls or jiaozi. People call jiaozi "Wanshun", which means that everything will go smoothly in the new year. The wish of "contentment" is pinned on this ordinary jiaozi. Eating glutinous rice balls indicates that the whole family will be round and round in the new year and live together safely. This tea is also very delicate. When you sit down, the north seat must be empty. I heard from my mother that this is for Kitchen God. Only by treating him well can the kitchen table be full forever in the new year. At the end of tea, everyone should leave some jiaozi or glutinous rice balls in the bowl, which means "more than one year". Whether it's eating open cakes, calling jiaozi "Wanshun" or leaving a place for the kitchen god, although there is no convincing scientific basis in today's rapid development of science and technology, these dietary customs are just good wishes for a bumper harvest, peace, health and happiness in the new year! Is there any reason why we should not inherit and carry forward? '
