What will Jiangxi eat next year?

Jiangxi eats stove candy, sugarcane and water chestnut, and the next year eats popcorn candy.

As the old saying goes: "Twenty-three, honeydew melon sticks". On New Year's Day, people will prepare candies in advance, and some places also call them Kwantung Candy and Hemp Candy. Anyway, there are many kinds of candy now, which are used to worship and pray for the kitchen god to be sweeter and say good things from heaven. After the sacrifice, we will eat some candy and place our best wishes on it.

When offering sacrifices to the stove, there is another important thing, that is, sugar cane and water chestnut are also essential. Eating sugar cane is also related to Kitchen God, because sugar cane is like a ladder, which is used by Kitchen God. Secondly, sugar cane also means "rising day". Jiangxi has the custom of eating popcorn candy on this day, and there has always been a saying among the people that "rice candy is sweet in a small year". This kind of candy is not the same as stove candy. It is made of maltose and popcorn, which symbolizes the sweetness of the New Year.
