小年习俗里的“糖瓜”

“Melon-shaped Maltose” in Minor Spring Festival Customs

进入腊月,当在莱芜的街头巷尾、商超集贸看到糖瓜的时候,小年便要到了。与南方的小年时间不同,莱芜的小年要早一天,腊月二十三糖瓜祭灶,形式热闹隆重而又风趣幽默。

In the 12th lunar month,when melon-shaped maltose appears in streets,lanes,shops,supermarkets and fairs,it means that the minor Spring Festival (23rd day of the 12th lunar month)is coming.
