Popular in northern areas. Usually, meat fillings are eaten on New Year’s Eve. Eat vegetarian stuffing on New Year's Day. New Year's dumplings should have thin skins and lots of stuffing, and should be tightly kneaded and not overcooked. Meat dumplings should include pork, mutton, beef, and chicken. There are also mandarin duck dumplings with two types of meat mixed together, as well as a "dumpling feast" with a variety of flavors. . Vegetarian dumplings mostly use a variety of fresh vegetables. There are many forms of dumplings, including crown dumplings, butterfly dumplings, goldfish dumplings, lace dumplings, crescent dumplings that are pushed, stacked, twisted, flower-shaped, and squeezed wooden fish dumplings.

According to the "Guang Ya" written by Zhang Yi, a native of the Three Kingdoms Wei Dynasty, there was a food called "wonton" shaped like a crescent moon at that time, which was basically similar in shape to today's dumplings. By the Northern and Southern Dynasties, wontons were "shaped like a crescent moon and were eaten all over the world." It is speculated that after the dumplings were cooked at that time, they were not taken out and eaten separately, but mixed with the soup in a bowl and eaten, so people at that time called the dumplings "wontons". This way of eating is still popular in some areas of my country. For example, when people in Henan, Shaanxi and other places eat dumplings, they put some coriander, chopped green onion, dried shrimps, leeks and other small ingredients in the soup.
