The practice of Red Bean Lantern Festival is 1. Wash red beans and cook for 20-30 minutes on low heat.

2. Put glutinous rice flour into a bowl, scoop a spoonful of hot water, stir well, then add cold water and knead into dough.

3. Press the dough to a thickness of 1cm and cut it into small pieces. Add some water to the bowl, add red beans, crush the wine and pour it into the pot.

4. Melt the lotus root powder with water, put it in a pot, float, pour in the lotus root powder, and serve it after it is sticky.

The practice of Yuanxiao is mainly stuffing, which is mixed first, then spread into large round pieces, dried and cut into squares smaller than table tennis.
