What is the traditional food culture of Spring Festival in China? Introduction of traditional food culture in China during the Spring Festival.

Jiaozi is the most representative traditional food in China, which has a history of nearly two thousand years and is deeply loved by people. There is an old saying in China that "it's delicious but not as good as jiaozi".

During the Spring Festival, especially in the north, jiaozi is an indispensable delicacy on the table. Jiaozi is usually wrapped before 0/2 o'clock on New Year's Eve and eaten at midnight, because this is the beginning of the first day of the first lunar month. Zi means "Zi Shi", Jiao is homophonic with Jiao, and eating jiaozi means "Jiao Zi", which means "happy reunion" at the moment when the New Year and the old year intersect.

2. Tangyuan

Eating glutinous rice balls in the Spring Festival means that the whole family will be happy in the new year. In Sichuan, we should have jiaozi for breakfast on New Year's Day. They are called "Yuanbao" and "Deyuanbao". People in Yangzhou will eat Sixi Tangyuan on the first day of the New Year, which means that everything goes well with their families.

3. Rice cake

During the Spring Festival, many areas pay attention to eating rice cakes, because rice cakes are also called "rice cakes", which is homophonic with "getting higher every year", implying that people's work and life are getting better every year. Therefore, the rice cake is not only a kind of holiday food, but also represents a beautiful meaning and hope. As the poem says: "How high the human heart is, how high the food is, so that the year is better than the year to pray for the year."
