春节进入了倒计时，年味将越来越浓。今天是腊月二十五，这一天有着磨豆腐的习俗。
传说玉皇大帝会在腊月二十五下凡巡视人间，看家家户户是否都过着诚实勤俭的生活。为了表现得节俭以获得玉皇大帝降福，传统上人们会磨豆腐来吃，豆腐在中国是一种物美价廉的食品。
In our legends, the Jade Emperor, the ruler of the heaven, descend to earth to inspect the world on this day, to see if every household lives an honest, frugal, and diligent life. To show the frugality and pray for the emperor's reward, traditionally people make bean curd, or Tofu, cheap food in China.
在北方，人们还会在这天做很多粘豆包，这是一种用糯米做的豆沙馅儿包子。粘豆包也是春节的主食之一。
In northeast China, people make a decent amount of Nian Dou Bao, a kind of bun made of glutinous millet stuffed with red bean paste. Nian Dou Bao is also a staple food during the Spring Festival.
