思香Si Xiang - 四喜元宵
四喜元宵(Si Xi Yuan Xiao) is a Tang Yuen home baking kit that provides ingredients of making four different colors of glutinous rice balls that symbolize different blessings.
思香(Si Xiang) means 思念家乡, being homesick, missing the feeling of reunite with family.
四喜元宵(Si Xi Yuan Xiao) means four happiness. During the Tang Dynasty ,a poor man came to take an exam. His cleverness was appreciated by the emperor and he was recruited into the palace. During that period, the parents of this person's hometown happened to be in disaster, and there was no news. He was accused of marriage by the emperor not long after, and he got news from his parents on the day of his marriage. So he asked the kitchen to make an auspicious dish. This dish is "SiXi（四喜）", which means: 1) First Happiness, good results in the exam; Second Happiness, getting married; Third Happiness, find a good husband/wife; Fourth Happiness, family reunion.
