Where does the tradition of eating dumplings come from?There are many legends about eating dumplings during the Chinese New Year. One is that it is to commemorate Pangu's creation of the world and ending the chaotic state. The other is that it is a homonym of "Hundun", which means "a full store of grain". In addition, there is a folk saying about eating dumplings that is related to Nuwa creating human beings. When Nuwa made humans out of clay, it was very cold and the ears of the clay people could easily freeze off. In order to keep the ears from falling off, Nuwa pierced a small hole in the ears, tied the ears with a thin thread, and put the other end of the thread in the clay people's mouths for them to bite. Only then were the ears considered done. 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.Dumplings are a kind of folk delicacy with a long history. They have been very popular among the people since ancient times. There is a folk saying that "nothing is more comfortable than lying down, and nothing tastes better than dumplings." During every Chinese New Year, dumplings have become an indispensable delicacy. Gradually, eating dumplings during the Spring Festival has become one of the dietary customs of the Spring Festival. According to "Guangya" written by Zhang Yi of Wei during the Three Kingdoms period, there was a crescent-shaped food called "wonton" at that time, which was basically similar to the shape of today's dumplings. By the Northern and Southern Dynasties, wontons were "shaped like a waning crescent moon and were eaten all over the country." It is speculated that after the dumplings were cooked at that time, they were not taken out and eaten separately, but were served in a bowl and eaten together with the soup, so people at that time called dumplings "wontons". This way of eating is still popular in some areas of our country. For example, people in Henan and Shaanxi put some coriander, chopped green onion, dried shrimp, leek and other small ingredients in the soup when eating dumplings. |
