Do you eat yuanxiao or tangyuan where you're from?
你那里是吃元宵还是汤圆？

As the Lantern Festival approaches, people in the south eat tangyuan, 
while those in the north enjoy yuanxiao. Many people think that tangyuan 
and yuanxiao are the same thing, just called differently in the south and north. 
Actually, there are quite a few differences between the two.
元宵节将至，南方吃汤圆，北方吃元宵。很多人以为汤圆和元宵是一个东西，
只是南方和北方的叫法不一样。其实啊，两者还是有很多不同的。

The making methods are different:
做法不同：

Yuanxiao is made by "shaking". 
The filling is moistened with water and 
then rolled in glutinous rice flour repeatedly 
to create a multi-layered effect with dry flour coating.
元宵通过 “摇” 的方式制作，将馅料沾水后放入糯米粉中滚动，
重复多次，形成多层干粉包裹的效果。

Tangyuan, on the other hand, is made by "wrapping". 
First, the glutinous rice flour is kneaded into a wet dough,
 and then the filling is wrapped inside and shaped into a round ball.
汤圆采用 “包” 的方法，先将糯米粉揉成湿面团，
再将馅料包裹其中，搓圆即可。

Filling options:
馅料选择：
Yuanxiao: The main fillings include sesame and red bean paste.
元宵：馅料主要有芝麻、豆沙等。
Tangyuan: Traditional fillings are mainly sweet ones such as sesame, peanut,
 and walnut, but there are also savory options like shrimp and pork fillings.

汤圆：传统的主要是芝麻、花生、核桃等甜口的，也有咸口的如虾仁馅，猪肉馅等。
