Chapter 167: Festival of Heaven's Granary_1

After the twelfth lunar month, the New Year began. From the fifteenth to the nineteenth of the first lunar month, the family began to steam cakes, preparing food for the Heavenly Barn Festival.

"Tian Cang", also known as "Tian Cang", means that the family's granary is full and everyone is well-fed and clothed.

Chun Niang and her two sisters-in-law used rice, wheat, and bean flour to shape into shapes of Yuanbao, pots, bundles, sheep, cows, chickens, dogs for lanterns, and steamed them in a cage.

After that, they took it out and put a cotton thread into the steamed cakes in the shape of lanterns and poured a little castor oil into it.

At night, the Jiang family lit these flour and rice lanterns and placed them in every corner of the house, symbolizing flourishing population, abundant grains, and plenty of livestock.
