Why eat dumplings?
Eating dumplings in the New Year is the reason why dumplings are homophonous with jiaozi.
What is intercourse?
The ancients timed according to the branches of heaven and dry earth, and the time from 23:00 at night to 1:00 a.m. the next day was also called midnight. 12 o'clock in the middle of the midnight is the middle of the hour, and it is also the time of the intersection of the old and the new. The midnight of the Chinese New Year's Eve is not only the alternation point of the old and the new, but also the alternation point of the old and the new two years, so when twelve o'clock arrives, people will move from the old year to the new year, called "more years of intercourse".
This moment is very dangerous, after all, the year is difficult, so people hope to use dumplings to help pass this dangerous moment of alternating old and new. Similarly, many people think that the reason why the Lantern Festival should eat tangyuan is also because tangyuan represents reunion.
The beautiful meaning of dumplings
Eating dumplings during the Spring Festival has many beautiful meanings, especially on Chinese New Year's Eve night. The reason why this dumpling on the night of Chinese New Year's Eve is extraordinary, one is because from 23:00 on the 30th night of the Waxing Moon to 1:00 on the first day of the first lunar month of the New Year, when the child is handed over, the meaning of "more years of intercourse" is taken, "son" is "son time", and the harmonic sound of "dumplings" has the meaning of "festive reunion" and "auspicious and ruyi".
Second, people expect to eat the unsatisfactory troubles that have occurred in the past year like dumplings, and pray for an auspicious new year. The third is to eat dumplings and pray for the early birth of a noble son in the coming year, the whole family will prosper, and the child will have the meaning of life. In addition, dumplings have become the mascot of the Spring Festival, but also because of its shape like a silver dollar treasure, the Spring Festival dumplings have the symbol of "the New Year is rich, the yuan treasure rolls in", pinning on people's good wishes to "attract wealth into treasure".
For the sake of Tujili and festivity, people will put something in it when making dumplings, such as red dates, which means early birth of noble children or early fortune; Some put chestnuts in, which means great luck; Others put coins in, and whoever eats it indicates who can get rich. Even if it is the same kind of dumpling, there are different ways to eat it: the Daur people in Inner Mongolia and Heilongjiang have to cook dumplings in vermicelli broth. Then eat the soup with dumplings; Some areas in Henan boil dumplings and noodles together, known as "gold thread through the yuanbao".
