Sinan's Mayuan: Taste of reunion for Chinese New Year
Chinese New Year, or Spring Festival, China's most important holiday for family reunions, is fast approaching. In Sinan County of Tongren City, Guizhou Province, there's a special Spring Festival treat called mayuan – glutinous rice balls coated with sesame.
Sinan mayuan is made from premium glutinous rice grown on the local high mountains. It bears a special meaning: People wish the new year to be as sweet and crispy as mayuan, and all things to be whole and perfect.
This treat symbolizes the family reunions of Spring Festival and is a reminder of local customs that have been passed on for hundreds of years. It is not only a must-have on every family's festival table but also carries the longing for home of those working or living far away, and the warmth of relatives waiting for their family's gathering.
Through the persistent inheritance of craftsmen across generations, mayuan ushers in the warmest prelude to Spring Festival in Sinan.
