Jiaozi, also known as Chinese dumplings, is a popular food during holidays in Northern China. It has a long history in China.
Jiaozi is one of the most important foods in Chinese New Year. Since jiaozi is in the shape of ancient Chinese gold or silver ingots (锭), it is a symbol of wealth (财富). Traditionally, the members of a family get together to make dumplings on New Year’s Eve. They may hide a coin (硬币) in one of the dumplings. They think it will bring good luck to the person who finds it. As the Spring Festival means the start of a new year, people choose to eat jiaozi in the hope of having a good future in the coming new year. You can make different kinds of Chinese dumplings using different fillings (馅料). There is no rule as to what makes dumpling fillings. They can be anything from vegetables, meat, or seafood. Whatever the fillings are, the wrapping (包) skill needs to be great to make jiaozi good - looking.
