Dumplings are a kind of folk food with a long history. The custom of eating dumplings during the Spring Festival has been quite popular in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. And dumplings are also deeply loved by the common people. There is a folk saying that "dumplings are not delicious but dumplings". Every New Year’s Day and New Year’s Eve, family members sit around the TV watching the Spring Festival Gala, making dumplings, chatting, and after making dumplings, they wait until midnight to eat, which is exactly the first month of the lunar calendar. At the beginning of the first day of junior high, eating dumplings means "Geng Sui Jiao Zi". "Zi" means "Zi Shi" and is homonymous with "Dumplings", meaning "Happy Reunion" and "Auspicious Ruyi". Therefore, the delicacy of dumplings, in addition to bringing people festive joy, is also a very important part of Chinese food culture. Seeing that the dumplings made by others are colorful and very beautiful, I am tempted to try it. Today's dumpling skins are also very beautiful. Unlike the past, the dumplings made with various natural fruit and vegetable juices and dough are colorful, which can be enjoyed visually and can also increase appetite. "
