Putting rice noodles to make Yuanxiao - cannot hold them together

Putting Yuanxiao into a teapot - can only go in but not come out (a metaphor for being very stingy and only allowing others to give him things, his things (Never given outside.)

Boiled Yuanxiao in a teapot - full of worries (eating)

Boiled Yuanxiao in ink - pitch black

Boiled in a meat pot Yuanxiao - a bastard

If Yuanxiao falls into the pot - it feels sweeter to say you are a bastard

Yuanxiao rolls into the pot - a bastard

Holding Lantern Festival on the first day of the first lunar month - it’s all good
