An allusion to dumplings on the way in and noodles on the way out

In traditional Chinese culture, it is customary to give dumplings to people who are going out of town, and to eat noodles when receiving people. One theory is that because dumplings are wrapped up to symbolize reunion, friends and family eat dumplings when they leave in the hope of being reunited with each other again.

Another theory is that the shape of the dumplings, the skin of the dumplings is like the outer envelope of the word "hui", and the dumpling filling is like the "mouth" inside the word "hui", so when you send someone on a trip to eat dumplings, it means that you hope the other person will be safe soon. The dumpling filling is like the "mouth" inside the character "回", which symbolizes the hope that the person will return home soon and safely. That's why the custom of "getting on the train with dumplings" was introduced. The name of the restaurant is called "Getting Off Noodles".

It must be said that the Chinese traditional culture is profound and profound, and behind every custom there may be a deep meaning and good wishes.
