This refers to giving dumplings to the person being sent off and noodles to the person being picked up. It is also said that "send dumplings, welcome noodles", and "out of the dumplings, home noodles", or "on the horse dumplings, down the horse noodles". This custom has a long history and deep meaning, and has been used by the people until now, becoming an important ritual for people to welcome and send people.

Dumplings, also known as flat food, water buns. Nowadays, we don't take it seriously anymore, and we can eat it as much as we want.

In the past, however, it could not be eaten, and could only be enjoyed during major festivals or on grand occasions such as ancestor worship and paying homage to heaven, earth and ghosts. Therefore, when people are about to leave, sending them off with dumplings expresses their respect for people.
