Tangyuan VS Yuanxiao 湯 圓 VS 元 宵

Caused by the culture differences in the north and south, the ways to make tangyuan and yuanxiao are quite different, but they both are the traditional food during the Lantern Festival.

在中國(guó)，元宵、湯團(tuán)在制作工藝上是兩回事，可以說(shuō)是北方、南方之不同淵源所致，但皆是正月十五元宵節(jié)的食品。

As one of the representative delicacies in Han ethnic group, tangyuan is the most typical food for Lantern Festival. It has a long history. Legend said that tangyuan originated from the Song Dynasty(960-1279). At that time, a kind of novel delicacy was in vogue in Mingzhou, now the Ningbo City in Zhejiang province. The food with the black sesame and lard as fillings seasoned by a few sugar and balled with glutinous rice flour tastes sweet and soft. As this kind of glutinous rice balls float up and down in the pot, it is called Fu Yuanzi(as floating balls) at first.

湯圓是中國(guó)漢族的代表小吃之一，是元宵節(jié)最具有特色的食物。歷史悠久。據(jù)傳，湯圓起源于宋朝。當(dāng)時(shí)明州【現(xiàn)為浙江省寧波市】興起吃一種新奇食品，即用黑芝麻、豬油做餡、加入少許白砂糖，外面用糯米粉搓成球，煮熟后，吃起來(lái)香甜可口，饒有風(fēng)趣。因?yàn)檫@種糯米球煮在鍋里又浮又沉，所以它最早叫“浮元子”。

Yuanxiao is traditionally eaten by Chinese during the Lantern Festival and the Spring Festival. It is officially named as Yuanxiao during the Yongle era of the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644)after a series of names such as mianjian, fenguo, yuanbao, tangbing and yuanbuluojiao. It is said that yuanxiao is the symbol of family reunion and eating it means the family happiness and reunion in the new year, so it is a necessity during the Spring Festival.

元宵是一種中國(guó)人依照習(xí)俗在農(nóng)歷正月十五元宵節(jié)和春節(jié)烹制食用的食品。曾有多種名稱(chēng)，如面繭、粉果、元寶、湯餅、圓不落角等，明永樂(lè)年間正式定名為元宵, 據(jù)說(shuō)元宵象征合家團(tuán)圓，吃元宵意味新的一年合家幸福、團(tuán)團(tuán)圓圓，所以春節(jié)必備。

Floating Balls 浮元子

Floating balls, as the early name of tangyuan, is one of the representative delicacies with a long history. Rumor said that tangyuan originated from Song Dynasty (960-1279). As the glutinous rice ball floats up and down in the pot, so it is called “floating balls” at first.

浮元子即湯圓的早期稱(chēng)呼，是我國(guó)的代表小吃之一，歷史悠久。據(jù)傳，湯圓起源于宋朝。糯米球煮在鍋里又浮又沉，所以它最早叫“浮元子”

Tangyuan湯圓

Tangyuan is made in the south as “wrapping up”. The glutinous rice flour is kneaded into dough and then is rounded into a ball after the fillings either with or without meat is wrapped into the dough like dumplings.

南方“包”湯圓。一般將糯米面和好，像包餃子一樣將餡包入再團(tuán)圓，餡料有素有葷。

Yuanxiao元宵

Yuanxiao is rolled in the north. They always use sweet and solid fillings without meat, cutting the fillings into chunk wetted with some water, and then placing them into the basket filled with glutinous rice flour, and continuously sprinkling water on the rice flour until glutinous rice balls are formed with the fillings at the heart.

北方“滾”元宵。一般只用素的固體甜餡料，將餡料切成小塊，蘸上水，在盛滿糯米面的笸籮內(nèi)滾，一邊滾一邊灑水，使其自然沾滿糯米面滾成圓球。
