Rotten soup, a special snack in Nanjing, is a Lantern Festival food. Jiaozi is eaten all over the country, and Taizhou basically eats rotten soup. And the fourteenth day of the first month is a special snack in Dalian and a special snack in Beijing, one day earlier than other places. Why is this? It is said that during the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, special snacks joined in, and Qi Jiguang fought against Japan in Taizhou. It is scheduled to launch a general attack on the fifteenth day of the first month. It's winter and it's very cold. In order to drive away the cold for the soldiers and celebrate the festival in advance, the city people use this special cold-proof food to add distiller's grains to rice pulp and dishes to comfort the guards. Later, the custom of eating this cold food on the fourteenth day of the first month was formed, and the name of bad soup was given. This night, no matter who owns Xi 'an's special snacks, you can go in and eat casually. In the future, whoever eats more people will be more developed.

Mituan

There is also a love story about "Mi Tuan" and "Yuan" that has spread for thousands of years. It's about a mother and son who live in Eighteen Shoulder Ridge of Qiushui Mountain. Because the mother is blind and her son is a good-looking dutiful son, called Tuan, who makes a living by selling firewood, it is difficult to get married. Yuan, the daughter of the Dragon King, often rains over Eighteen Shoulder Ridges. Seeing Duan is hardworking and kind, she decided to marry him. Hearing this, the Dragon King was furious and broke Yuan into the 18-story Dragon Palace and shut it up. But "Yuan" went on a hunger strike, and the Dragon King had to question that if the millstone and mortar head of Eighteen Shoulders rolled down from the mountain and could stick together, they would be allowed to get married. One day, special snacks also joined in, and the Dragon King sent landlords to roll the stone mill and mortar head down the mountain from Dalian's special snacks. Suddenly, snacks, dark clouds rolled and thunder burst. In order to prevent the millstone from rolling too fast, Dragon Lady bought shrimp soldiers to drill into the mill to stop the millstone from rolling down, but the mortar head just wouldn't roll. When the "circle" was in trouble, Soybean Jing pitied the couple and mobilized countless soybeans as wheels to help them roll. All shall be well, jack shall have Jill. When they rolled to the East China Sea, the Dragon King was stunned. Half a stone mill has been attached to the head of a round stone mortar wrapped in soybean powder, thinking that.

In order to commemorate this perfect marriage, later generations kneaded the first-class glutinous rice flour into dough, wrapped it with stuffing such as minced meat, diced water bamboo, mushrooms and shrimp skin (homophonic shrimp soldiers), made it into a "rice ball" with festive patterns such as plum blossom, bamboo chrysanthemum, double happiness and harmony, made it into a millstone-shaped food, and steamed it in a steamer, which became soft and delicious. Moreover, there are often rice balls that must be accompanied by "round" special snacks to join, and the agreement is "round".

circle

Unlike jiaozi in other places, people usually eat jiaozi from winter solstice, also known as winter solstice yen. Usually, it is placed in a Sichuan basket (a cylindrical bamboo product) and paired with a "rice ball" as a gift. It is said that the "circle" at the foot of Qiushui Mountain is wrapped outside rather than inside, which is the reason for this allusion. To make a "circle", the glutinous rice flour is kneaded repeatedly with water to the size of a ping-pong ball, and then cooked in a pot. After cooking, several Shanghai specialty snacks were wrapped in the stuffing of bean flour mixed with brown sugar, and they were soft and sweet when they were hot. Later, for the festive color of red, it gradually evolved into red bean powder as a filling.

In Sanmen, "rice balls and circles" have become holiday gifts for the general public in token of love and Qianlou.
