CCTV News:Sticking couplets, giving out red envelopes and eating eight-treasure rice with red dates are the customs of celebrating the Spring Festival in many places. The reporter visited the Zhengzhou market in Henan Province and found that red dates, which symbolize happiness, auspiciousness and beauty, are very popular.
At present, there are more than 100 kinds of new jujube products on the market, such as crisp jujube, milk jujube and jujube with walnuts, which provide more choices for the purchase of new year’s goods. In addition to jujube gift boxes, bulk jujube is also very popular in supermarkets.
