When I was a child, the family made dumplings with a coin wrapped in a dumpling, and whoever ate it would have good luck in the coming year. In addition, there are dumplings with sugar, peanuts, dates, chestnuts, and so on.

On Chinese New Year's Eve, people eat dumplings to increase their strength, and then, men, women, and children fire firecrackers in unison to help the gods get rid of powerful ghosts, and then reverently paste new portraits of King Zao, and offer dumplings-based food in front of the portraits of God of Wealth and King Zao, meaning that the coming year is safe and auspicious. This is the origin of the custom of "the sound of firecrackers to remove the old year".

The custom and origin of eating dumplings during the Spring Festival:

1. According to the literature, the custom of eating dumplings during the Spring Festival was fixed in the Qing Dynasty, which is related to the ancient Chinese timekeeping method, ancient China used twelve earth branches to record the time of each day, dividing each day into twelve time periods, each day begins with a sub-hour, which is equivalent to twenty-three o'clock to one o'clock now, and at the end of each year, the day of the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve is not only the alternation of the old and new days, but also the alternation of the old and new years, and the Chinese call him Jiaozi.

2. We attach great importance to the boundary of saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new, and we need some special rituals to pray for good luck in the coming year, so eat dumplings at this time, because dumplings and Jiaozi are homophonic.

My hometown is in the Northeast, and the winter is relatively cold, so on the day of the winter solstice, we all have to eat dumplings, a tradition and custom in our Northeast. Every year on the day of the winter solstice, we eat dumplings in the north. We have a saying here:

The winter solstice does not serve dumpling bowls, freezes off ears and no one cares!

Not only is it the winter solstice, but there is also a saying called in Laba

Laqi and Laba, frozen jaws. "When you get to Laba, you have to drink Laba porridge! Otherwise, this winter, my ears will be gone, my jaw will be gone, and my ...... will be goneWhen I was young, I really believed it!

Although it will not really be frozen, it is all the cold of our Great Northeast winter! Therefore, every winter, I think of a sentence: May the sun be bright in winter and melt the ice and snow!

Avoid excessive energy intake, which is not good for **!
