What traditional food do you eat on New Year's Eve?

It is one of the traditional foods in China. Also known as eating flat or cooking cakes. In ancient times, there were only wonton, not jiaozi. Later, wonton was made into a crescent shape and became jiaozi. In the Tang Dynasty, the habit of eating jiaozi had spread to the remote areas of China. On New Year's Eve, at 12: 11, we began to eat jiaozi, so this is a year's time, which means that the old and the new alternate, and it's time for a year.

Eating wonton in the New Year takes its original meaning. Legend has it that Pangu created the world, making "light and clear gas for the sky, heavy and turbid gas for the earth", ending the chaotic state, and the universe has four sides. Then take the homonym of "wonton" and "mud hoard" to indicate that the food is full.

Also known as longevity noodles, I wish you a long life. In ancient times, all kinds of pasta were called cakes, so noodle soup was originally called soup cakes. At first, the noodles were not rolled or pressed, but were torn into the pot by hand, similar to the practice of "crow's head" and "monkey's ear" eaten in the north. It was not until the Tang Dynasty that noodles were rolled with chopping boards that long noodles, short noodles, dried noodles, plain noodles, meat noodles and dried noodles gradually appeared.
