On February 5th, in the 1971 Cangfang of Yangcheng Lake, a long table banquet for 100 people of the Rice Cake Festival was held, and everyone experienced the New Year's customs together in the atmosphere of rice farming culture.
On the shore of Yangcheng Lake, 1971 Cangfang was lively and full of New Year's flavor. Two 50-meter-long tables attracted more than 200 citizens and tourists. Everyone gathers together to make rice cakes, feel the customs of the year, and taste the delicious food that belongs to this season.
In Xiaojing Village, Yangcheng Lake Town, at the end of the lunar calendar, every household has the custom of beating and eating rice cakes. In the festive sound of gongs and drums, the big guys mix flour, knead dough, and are very busy, and they are very busy, and they make soft and glutinous sweet sugar rice cakes one by one, so that everyone can feel the New Year's customs on the tip of their tongues in the fun work.
Yangcheng Lake 1971 Cangfang was originally the site of the Xiaojing granary, but now it combines the rice farming culture here, and implants intangible cultural heritage handicrafts such as Suzhou embroidery, blue calico, silk, and cricket pots, becoming a multi-functional cultural and creative space, giving the old granary a new lease of life.
"During the Spring Festival, as long as tourists come over, they can experience the making of rice cakes with us for free, and there will be some intangible cultural heritage handicraft masters (who come) to carry out on-site hand-making experiences," said Shen Chunjie, deputy head of the operation department of Suzhou Xiaojing Handicraft Village Development Co., Ltd.
