Stupid can't tell, are Yuanxiao and Tangyuan a kind of food?

Yuanxiao and Tangyuan are different names for a kind of food.

Yuanxiao is one of the traditional snacks in China. Yuanxiao "rolls" in the north and "wraps" in the south, which belongs to the eating custom of Lantern Festival. 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.

Then put the stuffing into a machine like a big sieve, pour the rice flour on it and "sieve" it. As the fillings collide with each other, the rice sticks to the surface of the fillings and becomes spherical, which becomes Yuanxiao.
