What to eat in South China: In South China, there are two kinds of honeydew melons: those with sesame seeds and those without sesame seeds. Make it into a melon shape or a north melon shape with sugar. The center is empty and the skin thickness is less than five points. Although the size is different, the transaction is still calculated by weight. The big honeydew melon weighs one or two Jin, but few people buy it as a cover. The reason for offering sugar to the stove is to stick the mouth of the stove owner. Legend has it that Lord Zao is a god sent by the Jade Emperor to supervise good and evil. He has the responsibility to communicate with people, contact the feelings between heaven and earth, and convey the information between fairyland and human beings. When it went to heaven, people gave it stove candy, hoping that it would eat sweets and say good things in front of the Jade Emperor. It is also said that the candy used for offering sacrifices to the stove is not stuck on the mouth of the stove owner, but on the mouth of the grandmother who is greedy and loves to gossip.

What to eat in the South for the New Year: In the southeast of Shanxi Province, there is a custom of eating fried corn at the Southern New Year's Eve. There is a saying in the folk proverb that "if you don't eat fried food, you will pour the pot on the first day of the New Year". People like to bond fried corn with maltose and freeze it into pieces, which tastes crisp and sweet.

What to eat in the South for the New Year: On New Year's Eve in the South, we eat the jiaozi Festival, a sacrificial furnace. People pay attention to eating jiaozi, which means "look down on the windward side of jiaozi". In mountainous areas, we eat more cakes and buckwheat noodles. In the southeast of Shanxi, the custom of eating fried corn is popular. A folk proverb says, "If you don't eat fried corn, you'll get a pot on New Year's Day." People like to bond fried corn with maltose and freeze it into pieces, which tastes crisp and sweet. In the old days, no matter whether rich or poor, as long as they got married, they had to worship the statue of the kitchen god on the wall above the pot, and put couplets on both sides of the statue: "Heaven says yes, and the lower bound is guaranteed." Every family regards Kitchen God as a god, which dominates the rise and fall of a family. As the four seasons live in the kitchen, observing the activities of a family naturally becomes the "head of the family".

What to eat at South China's New Year's Eve: Eating oven candy at South China's New Year's Eve is a sticky maltose. The candy that is pulled into a long strip is called "Guandong Sugar", and the candy that is pulled into a flat circle is called "honeydew melon". When it is put outside in winter, because of the cold weather, the honeydew melon is solidified firmly, and there are some tiny bubbles in it, which tastes crisp, sweet and unique. The real kwantung sugar is extremely hard and not fragile. Be sure to split it with a kitchen knife when eating. The material is very heavy and fine. The taste is slightly sour, there is no honeycomb in the middle, each piece weighs one or two, two or four, and the price is relatively expensive.

According to the Chronicle of Yanjing Years in the Qing Dynasty, there were "Guandong Sugar" and "Sugar Cake" in the offerings of stoves in the Qing Dynasty. Guandong sugar is sold in rural areas, cities, streets and markets in Northeast China: "Big sugar, big sugar, crispy big sugar." A large piece of milky white sugar, placed on a square plate, is usually three inches long and one inch wide, flat and silky.
