B 传统文化
Chinese dumplings are one of the most traditional foods in China. They look like ancient Chinese gold ingots(元宝), which mean “rich”. Chinese dumplings were first invented(发明) by Zhang Zhongjing in the Han dynasty. He first used them for medical purposes(目的). Zhang used dumplings with mutton for the patients' ear chilblain(冻疮).
And then dumplings became the popular food in North China, and now making dumplings on the Chinese New Year's Eve becomes the Chinese tradition. On the Chinese New Year's Eve, family members get together to make dumplings. They may put a coin(硬币) in one of the dumplings. If someone eats the dumpling with the coin, he will have the best luck in the new year. Chinese dumplings are also popular in other Chinese holidays or festivals.
In the old days, people couldn't often eat dumplings, because they were very poor. But now Chinese people are richer and richer, and we can eat dumplings at any time.
Almost everyone in China likes dumplings, such as dumplings with meat and vegetables, some with sugar, eggs, seafood and so on. I like dumplings with vegetables and pork better than any other kind, especially eating them with vinegar.
Making dumplings is teamwork. People usually make dumplings at home. If you have no time to make them, you can buy them from any supermarket, but on the Chinese New Year's Eve, making dumplings with family members means happiness and reunion. And now many foreigners also like Chinese dumplings—they eat dumplings, and they even learn to make dumplings. Maybe dumplings will be loved by the people all over the world.

### B 传统文化
中国的饺子是中国最具传统的食物之一。它们看起来像中国古代的金元宝，寓意“富裕”。饺子最早是由汉朝的张仲景发明的。他最初将饺子用于医疗目的。张仲景用羊肉馅的饺子来治疗病人的耳冻疮。
后来，饺子在华北地区变得广受欢迎，现在在除夕夜包饺子已经成为中国的一项传统。除夕夜，家人们聚在一起包饺子。他们可能会在其中一个饺子里放一枚硬币。如果有人吃到了包有硬币的饺子，他在新的一年里就会有最好的运气。饺子在其他中国的节假日或节日里也很受欢迎。
在过去，人们不能经常吃饺子，因为他们非常贫穷。但现在中国人越来越富裕，我们可以在任何时候吃饺子。
几乎每个中国人都喜欢饺子，比如肉馅和蔬菜馅的饺子，还有一些是糖馅、鸡蛋馅、海鲜馅等等。比起其他种类的饺子，我更喜欢蔬菜猪肉馅的饺子，尤其是蘸着醋吃。
包饺子是一项团队合作的活动。人们通常在家里包饺子。如果你没有时间包饺子，你可以从任何一家超市买到，但在除夕夜，和家人一起包饺子意味着幸福和团圆。现在很多外国人也喜欢中国的饺子——他们吃饺子，甚至还学习包饺子。也许饺子会受到全世界人民的喜爱。
