Such as eating dumplings during the Spring Festival, eating Yuanxiao during the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, eating rice dumplings during the Dragon Boat Festival, eating moon cakes during the Mid-Autumn Festival, etc., which unify people's festival behaviors and play an important role in the survival and development of festivals. On the day of the Lower Yuan Festival, people make glutinous rice cakes at home and give them to relatives and friends, and steam hemp-fried buns. |
