Hundreds of miles of different winds, thousands of miles of different customs. Almost every place has different customs and habits, and the differences are huge. For example, when eating dumplings, people in the Central Plains want to eat dumplings stuffed with meat on the first day of the first lunar month. Listening to the fathers, even if the family was bitter in the past, the first day of the first lunar month was to eat a meal of meat, even if 90% of the dumplings were turnips, and the remaining dumplings made of oil residue were also considered to have eaten meat. As the local saying goes, "Who doesn't eat meat dumplings for the New Year", if you still eat vegetarian dumplings on the first day, it is really impossible to live.
