Eating "dispelling cold cake" 吃“消寒糕”
During Major Cold, People in Beijing have a habit of eating "dispelling cold cake", a kind of rice cake. Sticky rice, the cake's main ingredient, contains more sugar than rice, which can make people feel warm all over their bodies. In Chinese the word "rice cake" has the same pronunciation with the word "higher in a new year", which symbolizes good luck and continual promotion.
在大寒节气,北京人有吃“消寒糕”的习俗。消寒糕是一种用糯米制作的年糕,糯米比大米含糖量高,食用后可以让人全身感觉暖和。汉语中的“年糕”与“年高”发音相同,因此象征着好运气和不断高升。
