Special Purchases for Spring Festival
In the weeks before Chinese New Year, the market
is jam-packed with people shopping for the "new year goods" that will carry them
through the New Year holiday. In the past, the special purchases (nian huo,
literally meaning New Year Goods) for the Spring Festival mainly referred to
food.
New Year Cake
At the Spring Festival, most Chinese will eat the New Year Cake which is made
of glutinous rice or millet flour and garnished with anything from bean to
jujube paste, assorted fruits and preserves. By tradition, it is believed eating
Niangao will bring good luck.
