Tongren glutinous rice cake
Tongren glutinous rice cake, also known as “New Year Cake,” “Birthday Cake,” or “Roof-Raising Cake.” It serves multiple purposes: first, it is given to relatives and friends during festivals and holidays, following the tradition that “when paying New Year calls, glutinous rice cakes come first”; second, it is served to guests; and third, it is thrown to the crowd during the roof-beam raising ceremony in rural house construction, known as “Roof-Raising Cake,” symbolizing joy and good fortune.
