1. Dumplings originated from the ancient Chinese horn, formerly known as "Jiao Er", a traditional Han Chinese noodle dish with a history of more than 1,800 years. It was invented by Zhang Zhongjing, a native of Nanyang Niyang (present-day Dengzhou, Nanyang, Henan Province) in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and was initially used for medicinal purposes. Dumplings, also known as dumplings, are loved by the Chinese people and are a staple food and local snack in northern China, as well as a food for New Year's festivals. There is a folk proverb that says, "Eat dumplings to celebrate the New Year." Dumplings are often boiled in water and filled with dough.

2. Dumpling skins can also be made of hot noodles, crispy noodles, egg steps or rice flour; fillings can be meat or vegetarian, sweet or salty; cooking methods can also be used for steaming, cooking, frying, deep-frying and so on. Meat fillings include sanshen, shrimp, crab roe, sea cucumber, fish, chicken, pork, beef, mutton, etc. Vegetarian fillings are also divided into assorted vegetarian fillings and ordinary vegetarian fillings. Dumplings are characterized by thin skin, tender filling, delicious flavor, unique shape, a full range of nutrients in the raw materials used to make the dumplings, and the steaming method ensures that there is less loss of nutrients.

3. There are many famous dumplings throughout China, such as the shrimp dumplings made of clarified flour in Guangdong, dumplings in sour soup in Xi'an, pork and cabbage dumplings in Hengshui, pan-fried dumplings in Shanghai, steamed dumplings with crab roe in Yangzhou, small dumplings in high soup in Shandong, dumplings on the old side of the river in Shenyang, and bell dumplings in Sichuan, all of which are very popular varieties.

4. When wrapping dumplings, people often pack gold ruyi, brown sugar, peanuts, dates and chestnut coins into the filling. Those who eat Ruyi and brown sugar will have sweeter days in the coming year, those who eat peanuts will live a long and healthy life, those who eat jujube and chestnut will have a son early, and those who eat coins will have a constant source of wealth.
