China people taste the Lantern Festival tradition from glutinous rice balls.

    Xinhuanet Taiyuan, February 21 ST (Reporter Liu Xiangyu) "Sweet-scented osmanthus is wrapped in walnuts, and the rice is like a pearl well. Seeing that Ma’s family is good at dripping powder, try to sell Yuanxiao in the wind. " A poem "Poems on Bamboo Branches in Shangyuan" written by China in Qing Dynasty presents a wonderful picture of making glutinous rice balls to the world.


    Tangyuan is a round dessert made of glutinous rice flour. China is called Yuanxiao in the north and Tangyuan in the south, which are slightly different in size, making method and preservation time. In China people’s diet dictionary, eating glutinous rice balls means "family reunion" and "everything is perfect".


    For this traditional food, many famous people in China have recorded it in poems. In the Song Dynasty, there was a poem in Jiang Baishi, saying, "The Lantern Festival competes to see the lotus-picking boat, and the BMW sedan picks up the cymbals. In the stormy night, people are exhausted, and the lonely lamp still calls for selling glutinous rice balls. "


    Nowadays, this delicacy has been given more meanings. At the same time of family reunion and sharing dumplings, many people in China like to immerse themselves in the tradition and savor its infinite meaning.


    China merchants have clearly captured this information sensitively, and paid more and more attention to highlighting the traditional flavor in the production, packaging and sales of glutinous rice balls. In addition to catering to the harmonious and auspicious values of Chinese people in the outer packaging, China merchants also pursue exquisiteness in the "connotation" of glutinous rice balls, such as full-grained black sesame seeds, crisp and mellow peanuts, chocolate, roses, red bean paste and sweet-scented osmanthus.


    In order to keep the glutinous rice balls original and mellow, some merchants resumed using the traditional stone mill processing method, striving for perfection in grinding fineness, keeping the temperature just right when baking, and making every second count when freezing.


    The small glutinous rice balls, inside and outside, have soaked up the traditional health care concept of China people. In the south of China, there is a kind of small dumpling with no stuffing, which can be cooked with longan red date soup or longan ginger soup. According to Chinese medicine, even soup can strengthen the body and dispel cold.

38 c+,waiting for a car like a sauna! When will the parking lot in South Station cool down?

Recently, in the underground parking lot of Beijing South Railway Station, which is at the peak of summer vacation, the hot and dry temperature has also attracted many people’s complaints. They call waiting for the bus like a sauna, "can’t stay".

At 4 o’clock in the afternoon, I just walked to the waiting area of the underground mezzanine network in the west parking lot of Beijing South Railway Station, and a burst of heat waves came. As the rows of pick-up cars pass by, the heat wave makes the surrounding temperature higher. Although, the seven fans hanging on the wall kept blowing the wind. But the temperature is too high, and the wind blowing on your body is also hot. Even so, passengers carrying big bags and small bags are still stuck under the fan. "Whether it is hot or not, it is always better to have wind."

Less than a quarter of an hour later, the people waiting for the bus were already sweating. At this time, the thermometer shows that the temperature in the waiting area has exceeded 38℃.

"Have been waiting for more than ten minutes, master, hurry up! It’s too hot in the parking lot. " In the crowd waiting for the bus, a passenger kept urging the driver of the online car. Hang up the phone, she kept fanning the wind with her hand, muttering, "I’ll remember it for a long time next time, and I’ll have to wait for the bus to arrive before entering the parking lot."

"Waiting for a car is like a sauna, sweating all over." As he spoke, the passenger next to him also took out a paper towel, wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "I heard that the waiting area of the east parking lot has been equipped with air conditioning, and it is very cool to wait for the bus there." It’s all parking lots. How uneasy is this west side! "

According to the passenger’s instructions, the reporter came to the mezzanine of the East Parking Lot. The "network car air conditioning waiting area" enclosed by transparent glass is very conspicuous. The glass room is cool and comfortable, with rows of seats, and dozens of passengers are waiting for the arrival of the network car.

"The air-conditioned waiting area in the east parking lot was just completed two days ago, and it will be much cooler to wait for the bus inside." A security guard whispered.

The reporter learned from 12345 that many passengers have reported that the waiting environment of the parking lot network is too hot. The staff of Beijing South Railway Station explained that due to the structural problems of the station, there is no condition for installing air conditioners in a large area. The hot weather in summer and the influence of automobile exhaust will bring uncomfortable experiences to passengers. The station is going to install air-conditioned glass waiting rooms in the waiting area of the network car in the east and west parking lots.

Just when leaving the South Railway Station, the reporter found that there was a circle of green enclosure in front of the waiting area of the west parking lot network, which was marked "No entry for non-construction workers". In the enclosure, the workers were busy. According to the workers, an air-conditioning waiting area is being built in the enclosure.

In this regard, the relevant staff of Beijing South Railway Station said that in response to the parking lot problem reflected by the public, relevant measures are being promoted, and the specific situation will be contacted with reporters later. As of press time, no follow-up news has been received.
