What is the meaning of eating glutinous rice cake during the Cold Clothes Festival?

Legend has it that in the past, when the cow that worked hard in the fields saw people happily eating glutinous rice cakes, it silently shed tears. When people saw the oxen crying, who worked harder than themselves, they would quickly give the glutinous rice cakes in their hands to the oxen. They would also make two big glutinous rice cakes and hang them on the oxen's horns. They would then lead the oxen to the waterside to look at themselves in the mirror. When the oxen saw the glutinous rice cakes on their horns, they would smile happily.
In order to express people’s gratitude to the cows for their hard work, people always give some glutinous rice cakes to the cows every year. Later, people designated the beginning of the tenth month of the lunar calendar every year as the "Ox King Festival", and the custom of making glutinous rice cakes to honor cows has been passed down.
In Huizhou, Guangdong, October 1st (the first day of the tenth month in the lunar calendar) is the birthday of the ox, which Huizhou people call the "Birthday of the Ox God." It is the slack season for farmers. In order to reward the oxen for their hard work all year round, almost every household in Huizhou's rural areas makes glutinous rice cakes by themselves on the first day of October every year.
After the glutinous rice cakes are made, they are first wrapped in lettuce leaves and fed to the family's large and small oxen. This is both a way to reward them for their hard work throughout the year and a way to celebrate their birthdays. After the oxen have eaten, the whole family, young and old, sit together to taste the glutinous rice cake and celebrate the harvest. This custom gradually spread to the city, and every October, city residents would imitate the rural custom and make glutinous rice cakes by themselves.
