What traditional food do you eat in the New Year?

First, eat jiaozi in the New Year.

The winter in the north is particularly cold. Recently, many areas have begun to cool down and snow heavily. At this time, the family will pack jiaozi and cook a pot of hot jiaozi on New Year's Day, not to mention how comfortable, nutritious and delicious. There is a folk saying that "jiaozi is not delicious". Jiaozi is shaped like a half moon or an ingot, so eating jiaozi on New Year's Day means "getting rich".

In addition, it is homophonic with "jiaozi", which means happy reunion and good luck, and indicates all the best in the new year.

Second, eat eggs on New Year's Day.

Eating eggs on New Year's Day is also a custom in some areas. Eggs are also rich in nutrition and are one of the indispensable home-cooked food ingredients in daily life. Eggs are round. Eating eggs on New Year's Day is not only nutritious and delicious, but also symbolizes reunion. An egg is a perfect ellipse. Eating eggs represents family reunion.
