What festival to eat sugar?

As the old saying goes, honeydew melons are sticky on the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month. This is the "lollipop" in ancient China. Melons are sticky when they are hot. The 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month is the day when people send the kitchen god to heaven. Before "sending", they will stick a honeydew melon on the mouth of the portrait of the kitchen god, indicating that people hope that the kitchen god will tell more about the good things on earth or at home, or at least not, so as not to cause the jade emperor to be unhappy and reduce his goodwill towards the world. As a result, it has developed into a festival where everyone eats honeydew melons every day, which is specifically related to sugar! ! !

Moreover, the Laba Festival on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month is also related to sugar. On this day, when people are eating Laba porridge, many people put sugar! ! !
