How to write a short 30 words on the origin of dumplings?

Origin of Dumplings:Dumplings were originally called Jiao Er, which was invented by the Chinese medical doctor Zhang Zhongjing.

In order to help poor people treat their frostbitten ears, Zhang Zhongjing wrapped the cold-repelling ingredients in dough to look like ears and made a cold-repelling Jiao Er soup, which was later imitated to make food, which is now known as dumplings.

Dumplings, also known as dumplings, are a favorite among the Chinese people, and are a staple food and local snack in northern China, as well as an annual festival food. There is a folk proverb that says, "If you are cold, eat dumplings to celebrate the New Year." Dumplings are often boiled in water and filled with dough.

Customs of Eating Dumplings:

The proverb says, "Eat dumplings to celebrate the New Year." The New Year is the grandest annual festival of the Chinese people. In order to have a good New Year, in the old days, farming families began to be busy with the New Year as soon as they entered the threshold of the Lunar New Year.

From the 23rd day of the Lunar New Year, commonly known as "Xiao Nian," the countdown to the New Year begins, with colorful lanterns, couplets, and cleaning of courtyards in preparation for welcoming relatives from afar and celebrating a year of reunion. In northern China, the most important activity on New Year's Eve is making dumplings for the whole family.

Dumplings are traditionally eaten for the New Year's Eve dinner, but the custom of eating them varies from place to place. In some places, dumplings are eaten on New Year's Eve, and in other places, dumplings are eaten on the first day of the year. Eating dumplings is a unique way of expressing people's wishes for the new year.

Dumplings are synonymous with the word jiaozi, which means when the old year meets the new. Eating dumplings at Chinese New Year means good luck. In addition, dumplings are shaped like Yuanbao, and wrapping them means wrapping up good fortune.
