During the Qingming Festival in Shaoxing, Ningbo, we will make green dumplings and green cakes. I remember that when I was young, people in the whole village would gather together to make green cakes. We call it "mozi" here, which uses a large stone mortar. The glutinous rice is mashed, and then spread on the table with pine flowers. It becomes a big cake when it is spread. It can be eaten after being cut into small pieces. This is the memory of my childhood. In Ningbo, the practice of Qingtuanzi varies from place to place. The green dumplings we made this time are filled with glutinous rice, so the white one is also called "snow dumplings." "
