Wrapped steaming is a kind of local specialty of Zhaoqing, before the 1980s and 1990s, only during the festival to do steaming, because steaming and steaming need a temporary special large stove, therefore, the average family is placed in front of the house, behind the house, the open space at the end of the street, every few days before the Chinese New Year's Eve, when every household steaming and steaming, the whole city is steaming, the streets and alleys are filled with thick steaming incense, and children are playing on the side to help watch the fire and add firewood. This scene and this fragrance make people's hearts full of strong New Year's flavor. However, with the rhythm of modernization, the rise of high-rise buildings, and the opening of steaming stores, this unique scenery of zhaoqing New Year has gradually faded from people's vision. Recently, we visited the old streets and alleys of the ancient city of Zhaoqing, but we still found this kind of scenery full of annual flavor——— some citizens still adhere to the traditional way of New Year.
The person in charge of Guangdong Dinghushan Food Co., Ltd. told us that the Spring Festival to do wrapped steaming, eating wrapped steaming, using wrapped steaming to give gifts for the New Year is a traditional custom of local people for hundreds of years, "These days, the business of selling wrapped steaming in Zhaoqing City is very good. "Although the price of steaming is a little more expensive than last year, there are still many people who come to visit, and these days, their daily sales and last year's year-on-year growth has increased a lot."
The person in charge of Guangdong Dinghushan Food Co., Ltd. said that from the trend of increasing sales in this line every year, wrapping steaming is becoming more and more commercialized and market-oriented, which is an obvious fact, coupled with the accelerated pace of life, urban people are more and more neglecting to do steaming by themselves, most of them choose to buy online! In recent years, the territory of urbanization in Guangdong has expanded rapidly, more and more people live in high-rise buildings, strict management of residential communities, and it is not easy for the people of Guangdong to continue this tradition.
