According to one legend, dumplings first appeared during the Han Dynasty. {#blank#}1{#/blank#} （rough） 1800 years ago, the story goes, a physician named Zhang Zhongjing returned to his hometown during a cold winter. He found his fellow villagers with frostbitten {#blank#}2{#/blank#} （ear） and created a new dish to help them warm up. Mutton, herbs, and spices were {#blank#}3{#/blank#} he chose as the ingredients. The doctor {#blank#}4{#/blank#} （wrap）them in pieces of dough and folded the pieces to resemble tiny ears. That particular tale is {#blank#}5{#/blank#} （possible）to confirm, but the long history of dumplings in China is undeniable. Typically filled {#blank#}6{#/blank#} meat or vegetables, the simple bites are distinguished by their pleated（起褶皱的）, wheat dough wrappers. They're often served for the Chinese New Year, though not because they look like crescent moons（新月）. Eating them is believed {#blank#}7{#/blank#} （bring） prosperity in the new year. Traditionally, if you want to wish someone good fortune in China, you feed them dumplings with a coin {#blank#}8{#/blank#} （hide） inside. In addition to being one of the most delicious foods ever created, soup dumplings rank among {#blank#}9{#/blank#} most dangerous. Hot soup is one of the {#blank#}10{#/blank#} （lead） causes of burns. When you're too nervous to eat it whole, tear into the dumpling while it's on your spoon and drink the soup one cautious sip at a time.
