Historical origin:
From a cultural heritage point of view, dumplings originated in China more than 2,600 years ago, and some intact dumplings were unearthed in 1972 in a Tang Dynasty tomb in the ancient tomb complex of Astana in Xinjiang's Turpan region. For quite some time thereafter, it was assumed that those were the earliest dumplings ever found.
In 1978, a few dumplings were found in a bronze basket in a Spring and Autumn period tomb in the old city of Xue in Tengzhou, Shandong province. in May 1981, in an ancient tomb of the Three Kingdoms period in Zhongxian, Chongqing municipality, ceramic figurines of a cook were unearthed, showing ancient cooks laboring by the kitchen table, which was decorated with ingredients, with pinched dumplings in the center and lace dumplings.
The history of dumplings as a festival food is not on New Year's Eve, but on the winter solstice. In the Song Dynasty, Jin Yingzhi (金盈之), "醉翁谈录-卷四-十一月" (Drunken Master's Discourse - Volume 4 - November), the capital city has three major festivals: the cold food, the winter solstice, and New Year's Day. Since the cold food to the winter solstice for a long time no festival, so the folk multiphase ask to leave. To the New Year's Eve or less than the financial resources, do not repeat this custom.
Proverbs have 'fat winter thin year' language. Covering the winter solstice, people feed more, in addition to the night is not. People eat a lot of wontons on this day, so there is a saying 'winter wontons, year cake'. In Kaifeng, the saying goes, "The new festival is over and the soles of your shoes are broken. This is the explanation of eating wontons on winter solstice recorded in the literature.
