The Tujia ethnic group in Yinjiang Tujia and Miao Autonomous County, Guizhou Province, has embraced the New Year with their cherished tradition of preparing special cakes. These traditional delicacies, available in vibrant red and pristine white, hold significant cultural meaning. The white cakes are primarily reserved for sacrificial ceremonies, symbolizing reverence and spirituality. In contrast, the red cakes are a festive favorite, enjoyed during New Year celebrations and other important occasions. This vibrant culinary practice not only preserves the rich Tujia heritage but also brings the community together in joyous celebration of new beginnings.
