People in the Northeast must eat rice cakes during the New Year. The color is golden, like gold, a festive New Year, how can there be a shortage of this golden bar-like rice cake on the table, not only to satisfy the taste buds, but also to have a visual effect.
Traditional rice cakes come in two colors, yellow and white, with many styles, round and square, symbolizing gold and silver! Nian gao, also known as "nian gao", is homonymous with "nian nian gao". It is a food with a festive meaning. Each year brings new hope to people, meaning that people's work and life are getting higher year by year. .
According to ancient legends, there was a monster called "Nian" in ancient times. Whenever it was severe winter, it would go down the mountain and hurt the lives of the people. Later, there was a clever tribe called the "Gao Clan." At the time, a large amount of food was made with grain in advance, rolled into strips, pressed into pieces and placed outside the door, and people hid at home. After the "year" came, no one could find anyone to eat. The grain fills the hunger, and then returns to the mountain after eating. People watched the monsters go, and they all walked out of the house to congratulate each other, and fortunately escaped the "year" barrier. In this way, year after year, this kind of avoiding animal harm The method was passed down. Because the grain bar is made by Gao's family, the purpose is to feed "Nian" Duguan. People associate "Nian" with "Gao" and call it nian gao (homonym).
Nian gao—an ancient custom, which means good luck and happiness. I remember that in the streets and alleys of Harbin a few years ago, nian gao was sold. The thickness is 3-4 inches with two layers of beans in between. It tastes really good. It's fun, I can hardly see it now. However, my family has always continued this beauty, and every year I have to sprinkle a pot of this kind of rice cakes, and the sweetness is even more long-lasting. "
