Dumpling
Dumpling has been a kind of traditional Chinese food ever since the ancient time. It was invented by a famous doctor on Chinese Medicine, whose name was Zhang Zhongjing. However, his original purpose of that invention was to save the poor, protecting them against hunger, cold and illness.
In China, red has a meaning or suggestion of luck and happiness. Every time when essential festivals arrive, especially Spring Festival, the whole country is covered by red, from the decoration of buildings and houses to people’s clothes. As a practice on Spring Festival, the Chinese people would like to post a big red Chinese character “福”,meaning Luck, on the door of their house, hoping that luck and happiness can come home.
