Jujube steamed buns are sacrifices used by people to sacrifice, symbolizing happiness and reunion for a year. There are many types of jujube steamed buns, such as jujube rolls, jujube rounds, etc. People have given jujube steamed buns many interesting names based on different shapes, and their production is extremely particular.
In addition to worshiping ancestors, jujube steamed buns are also a special gift prepared by my grandmother for her grandson. According to custom, on the second day of the Lunar New Year, the daughter returns to her mother's home. When she returns, her grandma will give her grandson a jujube mountain bun and her granddaughter a jujube flower bun. This is called "hugging jujube flowers". It is hoped that her grandson's family will become rich quickly and will be as strong and beautiful as jujube flowers in jujube mountains. There is a folk saying that goes: "If a grandson wants to be lazy, he will go and move the mountain."
