The most popular food during these holidays is known as Tangyuan (汤圆). This consists of glutinous rice flour balls that are filled with sweets and are usually served with a hot soup. As a curious fact, the pronunciation is similar to that of tuanyuan (团圆) which means 'meeting' in Chinese. That is why it is associated with family unity, like the lantern festival. However, its name varies depending on the region of China. For example, Tangyuan is what it is known in southern China, but in the north, it is called yuanxiao (元宵).
