? Special cuisine of Hakka people in Meizhou for the New Year.

Meizhou Hakka's New Year's Eve dinner has a bowl of stewed tofu, which is smooth and delicious. Because of the lack of flour in Guangdong after the Hakkas moved south from the Central Plains, it was difficult to eat in jiaozi, so they changed to stewed tofu. For this reason, when the elders eat this dish, they should also tell their families why, so that their children and grandchildren will not forget their hometown in the Central Plains and the custom of northerners eating jiaozi during the Spring Festival.
