About dumplings

Dumpling is a traditional Chinese food. It is filled with dough and shaped like a half-moon or ingot. The wrapped dumplings can be made into steamed dumplings, Pan-fried dumplings or soup dumplings. There are different opinions about the origin of dumplings.

Some people think that dumplings evolved from wontons, others think that dumplings originated from ancient "coins", and there are also legends that dumplings were invented by Zhang Zhongjing, a native of Nieyang, Nanyang (now Dengzhou, Henan) in the Eastern Han Dynasty. In its long development process, it has many names. In ancient times, it had names such as "Laowan", "Bianshi", "Dumpling Bait" and "Fanjiao". Since the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the word "dumpling" has been commonly used.

Dumplings are a staple food and local snack in northern China. They are also a New Year food. The custom of eating dumplings during festivals mainly exists in the northern region. In ancient times, there was a lack of meat, so dumplings stuffed with meat were naturally the best food.

A northern folk proverb goes: "Dumplings are not as delicious as dumplings." In northern China, dumplings are eaten to celebrate any festival. Other important festivals are also interspersed with eating dumplings. For northern Chinese, dumplings have long transcended the meaning of food and become a complex.
