With the arrival of the Great Cold Festival, every household is busy removing the old and decorating the new, picking up the wax-flavored New Year dishes, buying New Year goods, and welcoming the Spring Festival. In Jiangsu, Dahan has a tradition of eating sticky rice or rice cakes. The main ingredient of rice cake is glutinous rice, which has a higher sugar content and warmer nature than rice, and proper consumption has the effect of warming and dispersing wind and cold, moisturizing the lungs and strengthening the spleen and stomach. Some supermarkets have set up a special area for rice cake sales, with a variety of varieties to meet the needs of the public.
The citizens of Huai'an said: "Rice cake is cold, come to buy a little and go back to make hot pot to eat." Adults and children prefer to eat this rice cake. ”
Mr. Li, a citizen of Suqian, said: "On this day of the great cold, everyone in the family must eat this rice cake. It means that the next year rises, and the next year is better. ”
"Big cold, big cold, windproof and cold." In the cold season, it is necessary to increase or decrease clothing in time with the change of temperature, and the hands and feet are easy to freeze, especially pay attention to keep warm. Chinese medicine recommends that the diet be mainly warm.
