"Yuanxiao" as a food has a long history in China. During the Song Dynasty, a new kind of food became popular in Mingzhou (now Ningbo City, Zhejiang Province). This kind of food was first called "Fuyuanzi" and later called "Yuanxiao". Businessmen also called it "Yuanbao". Yuanxiao, also known as "tangyuan", is filled with sugar, rose, sesame, bean paste, osmanthus, walnut kernels, nuts, jujube paste, etc. It is wrapped in glutinous rice flour into a round shape. It can be meat or vegetarian, with different flavors. It can be cooked in soup, fried, or steamed, symbolizing reunion and happiness. The glutinous rice balls in Shaanxi are not wrapped but "rolled" in glutinous rice flour and then boiled or fried. They are hot and round.There is an interesting legend among the people about the origin of eating Yuanxiao during the Lantern Festival. According to legend, the Lantern Festival originated from King Zhao of Chu during the Spring and Autumn Period. On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, King Zhao of Chu passed by the Yangtze River and saw something floating on the surface of the river. It was a sweet food that was white on the outside and red on the inside. King Zhao of Chu asked Confucius for advice, and Confucius said, "This is the fruit of duckweed. If you get it, it will be a sign of revival for your master." Because that day was the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, every subsequent day, King Zhao would order his men to imitate the fruit with flour and use hawthorn to make red stuffing and cook it to eat. From then on, eating Yuanxiao on the Lantern Festival became a tradition. Eat boiled Yuanxiao to reduce fat intake. Eating too many Yuanxiao is not good for you, so how can you eat Yuanxiao in a healthy way? Although fried Yuanxiao tastes more delicious and unique, it increases fat intake and heat energy, so it is not suitable for people who want to lose weight to eat too much. If you care about your health, it is best to cook the Yuanxiao with hot water. Exercise promptly after eating to reduce the adverse effects of eating Yuanxiao. After eating glutinous rice balls or Yuanxiao, you can go for a walk immediately. Although it cannot consume a lot of calories, it is still good for the body. It is better to do moderate-intensity aerobic exercise two hours after eating glutinous rice balls. The amount should not be too much. The raw material for making Yuanxiao - glutinous rice, contains a substance that cannot be digested. It is easy for people to incompletely digest the rice dumplings after eating them. If they eat too much rice dumplings, they will feel bloated and have no appetite for other foods. It is best to choose small Yuanxiao, and no more than four.
