Tangyuan，汤圆
 
Sweet fillings such as sugar, sesame, osmanthus flowers, sweet bean paste and sweetened tangerine peel are used. In the South, it is common to have tang yuan plain in a savory soup made with Chinese radish and home made fish cake.
 
For many Chinese families in mainland China as well as overseas, tangyuan is usually eaten together with family. The round shape of the balls and the bowls where they are served, come to symbolise the family togetherness.
