Ningbo, February 11 (Li Dian, Yao Dan, Wang Ke) On the occasion of the Lantern Festival, more than 10 international friends from nearly 10 countries and regions such as Canada, Poland, Ethiopia, Morocco and Yemen came to the former residence of Zhuang Xiying in the community of Zhenhaizhuang City, Ningbo, Zhejiang Province, to feel the old bottom Ningbo flavor in the Lantern Traditional Customs such as writing Blessing Characters, Wrapping Tangyuan, Painting Lanterns, and Guessing Lantern Riddles.

"I have one more foreign apprentice today, and the tangyuan she wrapped is very good." In the courtyard of zhuang Xiying's former residence with a century-old history, 50-year-old Fu Xizhi used his skillful tangyuan skills to accept a foreign apprentice.

The foreign apprentice in Fu Xi's mouth is Li Meili, a 25-year-old girl from Ethiopia. Under the guidance of Fu Xi, Li Meili went through the steps of noodles, adjustment, and packaging, and finally won a round and rolling tangyuan. Li Meili, who loves traditional Chinese culture very much, came to Ningbo University a few years ago to study for graduate school and gave herself a Chinese name.

As the chubby rice balls float from the bottom of the pot, the aroma of sticky rice wafts in. After tasting the rice balls, Moa from Yemen said: "Eating the rice balls is the New Year custom of the Chinese. I have long heard that Ningbo Lard Tangyuan is one of the representative snacks in China, and today I experienced the most authentic Ningbo Lard Tangyuan. ”
