Dumplings are derived from the ancient Chinese dish “jiaozi”. Originally called “Jiao Er”, it is an ancient Han Chinese traditional cooked wheaten dish with a history of more than 1,800 years. It was first invented for medicinal purposes by Zhang Zhongjing, a medical sage from Dengzhou, Nanyang, during the Eastern Han Dynasty. It is a traditional specialty of the Chinese people, also known as dumplings, and is a staple food and local snack in northern China, as well as a Festival food.
Dumplings are a long-established folk food and a unique folk tradition for the Spring Festival. The dumplings are popular among the people because they are meant to be the “new year’s crossover”.

Dumplings are not only a delicacy in China, but also a cultural treasure, a tasty snack for every family and a must-have on Chinese New Year’s Eve, expressing people’s aspirations and aspirations for a better life.
