每逢新春佳节,我国民间有吃年糕的习俗。传说这习俗从周代开始,至今已有3000多年的历史。由于禾谷成熟一次称为一年,所以过年吃年糕就含有庆贺五谷丰登的意思,也有取“年年高”的谐音,含有希望日子一年胜过一年的寓意。年糕到底始于何年?何人创制?现已无从查考了。在江浙一带,至今流传着另一种说法。 Every Spring Festival, our country has the custom of eating cakes. It is said that this custom started from the Zhou Dynasty and has a history of 3000 years. Since the maturity of cereals is once called a year, the New Year’s eating of rice cakes contains the meaning of celebrating the bumper grain harvest, as well as the homonym of “year-old highs”, which contain the implication that the hope day lasts more than a year. What is the beginning of the year cake? Who created? In the area of ​​Jiangsu and Zhejiang, so far spread another argument.
