What holiday is January 1st?

Eating dumplings on January 1st.

Dumplings are a very traditional food in China with profound meanings. In ancient times, dumplings were eaten after New Year sacrifices.

The ancients paid attention to eating bread when they watch the new year and eating when they say goodbye.

In other words, it is the turn of two years, the time to welcome the new and say goodbye to the old, which has special significance.

"Zi" means "Zi Shi", which is homophonic with "Jiao", which means festive reunion and good luck, indicating good luck in the new year.

In addition, the shape of the dumplings looks like ingots, so eating dumplings on New Year's Day means "bringing in wealth."

Moreover, dumplings are filled with fillings. This is to make it easier for everyone to wrap various auspicious and festive things in the fillings to express people's good expectations for the new year.

Extended information: Nowadays, when people eat dumplings, they also put various "caiyu" in them. It is said that those who eat them will have good luck. When making dumplings, people often put gold, sugar, peanuts,

Dates, chestnuts, etc. are stuffed into the stuffing.

Those who eat as they wish and eat sweets will have sweeter days in the coming year; those who eat peanuts will be healthy and live longer; those who eat dates and chestnuts will have children early.

In some areas, when eating dumplings, people also eat some non-staple food to show good luck.

For example, eating tofu symbolizes the happiness of the whole family; eating persimmons symbolizes everything going well; and eating three fresh vegetables.

It symbolizes the prosperity of the three Yangs.
