元宵汤圆英文介绍

The Lantern Festival (or Yuanxiao Festival in Chinese) is an important traditional Chinese festival, which is on the 15th of the first lunar month, marking the end of celebrations of the New Year. Besides entertainment and beautiful lanterns, another important part of the Lantern Festival or Yuanxiao Festival is eating small dumpling balls made of glutinous rice flour. We call these balls yuanxiao or tangyuan. Obviously, they get the name from the festival itself. Made of sticky rice flour filled with sweet stuffing and round in shape, it symbolizes family unity, completeness and happiness. The fillings inside the dumplings or yuanxiao are either sweet or salty. Sweet fillings are made of sugar, walnuts, sesame, osmanthus flowers, rose petals, sweetened tangerine peel, bean paste, or jujube paste. A single ingredient or any combination can be used as the filling. The salty variety is filled with minced meat, vegetables or a mixture. The way to make yuanxiao also varies between northern and southern China. The usual method followed in southern provinces is to shape the dough of rice flour into balls, make a hole, insert the filling, then close the hole and smooth out the dumpling by rolling it between your hands. In North China, sweet or non-meat stuffing is the usual ingredient. The fillings are pressed into hardened cores, dipped lightly in water and rolled in a flat basket containing dry glutinous rice flour. A layer of the flour sticks to the filling, which is then again dipped in water and rolled a second time in the rice flour. And so it goes, like rolling a snowball, until the dumpling is the desired size.

Tangyuan is a Chinese dessert made from glutinous rice flour mixed with a small amount of water to form balls and is then cooked and served in boiling water.

汤圆，别称“汤团”“浮元子”，是汉族传统小吃的代表之一。同时，也是中国的传统节日元宵节所最具有特色的食物，也表达了古代人民对幸福生活的一种向往和期盼。

汤圆最早叫“浮元子”后称“汤圆”，又称元宵；“汤圆”以芝麻、豆沙、核桃仁、果仁、枣泥等为馅料，用糯米粉包成圆形，可荤可素，风味各异。可汤煮、油炸、蒸食，有团圆美满之意。

汤圆由来

据传，汤圆起源于宋朝。当时的明州（现浙江省宁波市）所兴起的一种新奇食品，即用黑芝麻、猪板油做馅、加入少许白糖，外面用糯米粉搓成圆形，煮熟后，吃起来香甜软糯，回味无穷。

同时，汤圆象征合家团圆美满，吃汤圆也意味着在新的一年里合家幸福、团团圆圆，所以是正月十五元宵节必备美食。

元宵跟汤圆在英文里一样rice glue ball

汤圆这种东西……他的英文名吗？glue pudding（胶体布丁）他呢，是宁波的著名小吃之一，也是我国的代表小吃之一，历史十分悠久。据传，汤圆起源于宋朝。当时各地兴起吃一种新奇食品，即用各种果饵做馅，外面用糯米粉搓成球，煮熟后，吃起来香甜可口，饶有风趣。因为这种糯米球煮在锅里又浮又沉，所以它最早叫“浮元子”，后来有的地区把“浮元子”改称元宵。与北方人不同，宁波人在春节早晨都有合家聚坐共进汤圆的传统习俗。还有另一种传说，1912年袁世凯篡夺革命成果，做了大总统，他一心想当皇帝，又怕人民反对，一天到晚提心吊胆的。因为“元”和“袁”、“宵”与“消”是同音的，“袁消”有“袁世凯被消灭”之嫌，于是在1913年元宵节前，袁世凯就下令把元宵改为汤圆。这便是传说中汤圆名称的来历……具体见下方参考资料！！

元宵

元宵是用糯米粉做成的圆形食品，从种类上分，可分实心和带馅的两种。带馅的又有甜、咸之分。甜馅一般有猪油豆沙、白糖芝麻、桂花什锦、枣泥、果仁、麻蓉、杏仁、白果、山楂等；咸馅一般有鲜肉丁、火腿丁、虾米等。用芥、葱、蒜、韭、姜组成的菜馅元宵，称“五味元宵”，意寓勤劳、长久、向上。

元宵的做法，是以馅为基础。大致过程是先是拌馅料，和匀后摊成大圆薄片，晾凉后再切成比乒乓球小的立方块。然后把馅块放入像大筛子似的机器里，倒上江米粉，“筛”起来了。随着馅料在互相撞击中变成球状，江米也沾到馅料表面形成了元宵。
