What is the saying about eating rice cakes on New Year's Day?

Nian Gao is also called sticky cake, which means getting taller every year. In the south it is made from glutinous rice, in the north it is made from sticky millet.
Rice cakes have a long history. In the Han Dynasty, rice cakes were already known as "rice cakes", "cakes", "bait" and "ci". The recipe for making rice cake "white cocoon sugar" was recorded in the 6th century cookbook "Shi Ci", and the method of grinding rice into powder and making cakes was recorded in the Northern Dynasty's "Qi Min Yao Shu".
Eating rice cakes on New Year's Day was popular during the Ming and Qing dynasties, especially in the south. Volume 2 of "A Brief Account of Scenery in the Imperial Capital" from the late Ming Dynasty records that on the first day of the first lunar month, "people wake up early, wash their hands, eat date cakes, and rice cakes." The "Weixian Chronicles" during the Jiajing period in northern Hebei Province said that the local people ate "steamed mutton cake".
In the south, Suzhou and Jiading in Jiangsu and Zhejiang call it "jiegao". The "Qiongtaizhi" of Guangdong in the Zhengde period of the Ming Dynasty records that people eat spring cakes locally: "Before New Year's Day, spring cakes are steamed in a basket with glutinous rice flour, sugar or ash juice. The diameter is about one foot and the thickness is five or six inches. Various fruits are mixed in the annual sacrifice. People cut them and make New Year tea as gifts.
"Its shape is similar to today's birthday cake. Volume 12 of Gu Lu's "Qing Jia Lu" in the Qing Dynasty recorded it in more detail, saying that millet flour and sugar were made into cakes, called "nian gao", which came in yellow and white.
The large one, which is one foot square, is called "square-head cake", and there are also "cake ingots" that look like ingots, which are used for offerings on New Year's Eve and as gifts between relatives and friends. In addition, there are long and thin "tiaotou cake" and wide "tiaoban cake".
