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.
