Chinese dumplings are one of the traditional foods in China. They look like ancient Chinese gold ingots(锭), which mean"rich". Chinese dumplings were first invented(发明) by Zhang Zhongjing in the Han Dynasty. He first used them for medical purposes(目的). Zhang used dumplings with mutton(羊肉) for the patients'ear chilblain.
As time went by, dumplings became popular in the north of China, and now making dumplings on New Year's Eve has become a Chinese tradition. On New Year's Eve, family members get together to make dumplings. They may put a coin(硬币) in one of the dumplings. If someone eats the coin, he or she will have the best luck in the coming new year. Chinese dumplings are also popular in other Chinese holidays or festivals.
In the past, people couldn't often eat dumplings because they were very poor. But now Chinese people are richer and richer, so we can eat dumplings at any time.
Almost everyone in China likes dumplings. There are many kinds of fillings in dumplings, such as dumplings with meat and vegetables, and some with sugar, eggs and seafood. I like dumplings with vegetables and pork better than any other kind, especially eating them with vinegar.
Making dumplings is a teamwork. People usually make dumplings at home. If you have no time to make dumplings, you can buy them from any supermarket. But on Chinese lunar New Year's Eve, making dumplings with family members means happiness and reunion. And now many foreigners also like Chinese dumplings. They eat dumplings and even learn to make dumplings.
I hope dumplings will be loved by people all over the world.
Here are four clothing stores.
