The Symbolic Significance of Eating Twist in Chinese New Year

Twist symbolizes auspiciousness, sweetness, beauty, round and round, meaning long-term, more than every year, but also contains longevity. Because two or three twists are twisted together, it is also a good wish for family reunion. Some twists are sweet and made of sugar, so people eat them and stick to their mouths, but they also hope that people's lives will be sweeter and better.

In the food culture of China for thousands of years, the small twist is also the favorite national traditional food of Chinese descendants. Small twist not only adheres to the traditional twist technology, but also injects modern technology into the production of twist, so that this traditional Chinese food can be rejuvenated again.

Jewelry stores also put twisted patterns on bracelets. Twist bracelets are not only exquisite and beautiful, but also full of vitality. Twist bracelet represents perfection. Therefore, the twist bracelet also means a symbol of peace and perfect attitude.

Legend about distortion:

According to legend, in ancient times, Chiyou led the Jiuli clan tribe to cultivate crops in Shenlong Mountain, Weishan Township, Xinhua County, Hunan Province, and naturally became Nandumen. There is a well at the foot of Shenlong Mountain (now Shuikou Village, Weishan Township). Once upon a time, there was a farmer Zhao who lived by the well and made a living by making baked cakes all the year round.

Once, Chiyou's men got lost in the mountain patrol and went to this family. Hungry Chiyou's men robbed the sesame seed cake and burned the hut. When preparing to kill, a subordinate Chiyou said, "This man is useful to us. Let's take him up the hill. " Chiyou tasted the sesame seed cake and was overjoyed. He even said a few words of "good" and asked Zhao to make a few pots of sesame cakes on the mountain and let his people share them. People say it's delicious, but one child says it's not. Chiyou shouted to Zhao, "Why?"

Zhao knelt down and said, "This is related to water quality!" Chiyou sent someone to go down the mountain with Zhao, and made more pots of sesame cakes in that well workshop. Chiyou eats very differently. Counselor Chiyou smiled and said, "Sesame cakes are all famous. They are all fake." Chiyou happily called it "Shuikoufang Twist Sesame Cake", and from then on, Shuikoufang Twist and Zhao Twist were passed down from generation to generation.
