Spring Festival is the most important traditional festival in China. People believe that eating some traditional foods at this time can bring good luck to themselves and their families. Briefly introduce the food customs in some areas of China, and provide dinner for diners:
Northeast China: People in Northeast China will kill a pig after entering the twelfth lunar month and invite villagers to have dinner to celebrate. Then wrap sticky bean bags and make tofu. Most sticky bean bags are made of glutinous rice, and there is bean stuffing on the leather bag. Almost every family makes them, ranging from hundreds of kilograms to dozens of kilograms, which can last for a winter. Eat jiaozi on the first and fifth days of the Lunar New Year.
Northwest China: When people eat jiaozi in many places in northwest China, the dumpling skins are not rolled out one by one, but rolled into a large piece and then buckled with a bowl.
