What's the difference between celebrating the Spring Festival in the north and the south?

The difference between the North and the South in celebrating the Spring Festival is the classic dispute over glutinous rice balls in jiaozi. Northerners eat jiaozi during the Spring Festival, especially on New Year's Eve and New Year's Day. Jiaozi symbolizes reunion, peace, early birth, good weather, peace, sweetness and so on. The southern Chinese New Year custom is to eat rice cakes and wish life "higher year by year", which means "higher year by year", which means better year by year.

Su Beiren must eat "mala Tang" during the Spring Festival. The soup made of pigskin, with diced pigskin and raw flowers, sprinkled with pepper, garlic and chopped green onion, is a necessary cold dish for the New Year.

Characteristics of celebrating the Spring Festival

As a northerner, Chinese New Year's mother will fry oil fruits, oil cakes and make cakes, which is a unique holiday food in northwest China. Use flour to make dough into twists, butterflies, birds, crisp leaves and other shapes, coat it with honey and fry it for a long time.

Rotten meat is also essential for Lanzhou's special Chinese New Year hard dishes. Red tofu is steamed on the cut white meat. The entrance is soft, fat but not greasy, and it is almost a dish that every table must order. There is also skin jelly, which is also the favorite of the whole family. Stew the skin into a soup full of gum, and finally cool it into a Q-shaped jelly, dipped in Chili vinegar sauce, which tastes really good.

In the north, there are 28 noodles and 29 steamed buns in the twelfth lunar month. Steamed bread is big and layered. Each layer is smeared with turmeric, monascus, roses, flax and bitter beans, and the shape should be layered, which means "the day is higher and the hair is earlier".
