In many important festivals, dumplings undoubtedly play a very important role in diet. For example, eating dumplings on New Year’s Eve, “breaking five”, eating dumplings, eating dumplings in the fall, eating dumplings at the beginning of autumn, and eating dumplings at the winter solstice, many, many. Let’s talk about it in detail below, Dumplings are a kind of folk food with a long history. They are very popular among the people. There is a common saying that “dumplings are delicious but not delicious”. During the Spring Festival, dumplings have become an indispensable delicacy.

According to the “Guang Ya” written by Zhang Yi, the Wei man of the Three Kingdoms, there were foods that were shaped like crescents called “wontons” at that time, which were basically similar in shape to the current dumplings. In the Northern and Southern Dynasties, wontons were “shaped like a moon, and the whole world is universal.” It is speculated that after the dumplings were cooked, they were not taken out and eaten alone, but mixed in a bowl with the soup, so people at that time called the dumplings “wonton”. This way of eating is still popular in some areas of our country. For example, people in Henan, Shaanxi and other places eat dumplings, and they need to put some coriander, green onion, dried shrimps, chives and other small ingredients in the soup. About the Tang Dynasty, the dumplings have become exactly the same as the current dumplings, and they are taken out and eaten separately on a plate. The Song Dynasty called dumplings “Jiaoer”, which is the etymology of the term “dumpling” in later generations. This writing method can still be seen in the Yuan, Ming, Qing and the Republic of China.
The Yuan Dynasty called dumplings “flat food”. Shen Bang’s “Miscellaneous Records of Wan Shu” during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty recorded: “New Year’s Day greetings… as a plaque”. Liu Ruoyu’s “Zhu Zhong Zhi” contains: “On the first day of the first day of the Zhengdan Festival…Eat fruit snacks, that is, plaques.” The “plaques” of “plaques” in the Yuan and Ming dynasties have now become “bian”. The name “Bianshi” may come from Mongolian.
In the Qing Dynasty, new titles related to dumplings such as “dumpling”, “shui dim sum”, and “cooked glutinous rice dumplings” appeared. The increase in the names of dumplings indicates that the geographical area in which they are spread continues to expand.
When making dumplings, people often pack Jinruyi, sugar, peanuts, dates and chestnuts into the stuffing. Those who eat wishful things and sugar will have sweeter days in the coming year, those who eat peanuts will live a long and healthy life, and those who eat dates and chestnuts will have early sons.
Some people in some areas eat dumplings, but they also have some non-staple food to show good luck. For example, eating tofu symbolizes the happiness of the whole family; eating dried persimmons symbolizes everything goes well; eating three fresh vegetables symbolizes Sanyang Kaitai. Taiwanese eat fish balls, meat balls and fat dishes, which symbolizes reunion and wealth.
