Also known as flatbread or boiled bun. In ancient times, there were only wontons but no dumplings. Later, wontons were made into crescent shapes and became dumplings. During the Tang Dynasty, the custom of eating dumplings had spread to remote areas of China. On New Year's Eve, as soon as the clock strikes twelve, people start eating dumplings, because this is the hour of Zi, which represents the arrival of the alternation of the old and the new year.Yuanxiao <br /> Also known as glutinous rice balls, it is more common in the south.

Eating rice cakes, which has the auspicious meaning of "higher and higher every year", is interpreted as meaning promotion every year. Fish <br /> There are some rules for eating fish during the Spring Festival, which indicates that there will be plenty every year, so eating fish during the Spring Festival is a custom of old Beijingers. Wontons <br /> Eating wontons during the New Year symbolizes a new beginning. Legend has it that Pangu created the world and made "the light and clear air float up to become the sky, and the heavy and turbid air condense down to become the earth", ending the chaotic state and giving rise to the four corners of the universe. Furthermore, the word "wonton" is a homonym of "hun tun", which means a full granary of grain. |
