Why do we eat dumplings on New Year’s Eve?

1. According to ancient legends, eating dumplings on New Year's Eve is to commemorate Pangu's creation of the world and ending the state of chaos. Dumplings evolved from "wontons", which was a homonym of "hun tun" and "hun tun", meaning "a full store of grain".
2. Another theory about eating dumplings on New Year's Eve is that it is related to Nuwa creating human beings. It is said that Nuwa pierced a small hole in the human ear, tied the ear with a thin thread, and put the other end of the thread in the mouth of the loess man for him to bite. Only in this way could the ear be considered completed. In order to commemorate Nuwa's achievements, people made dumplings, kneaded the dough into the shape of human ears, filled them with stuffing (thread), and ate them with their mouths.
