Chinese like to combine food with festivals and important days. Here are
four kinds of special food in China.
Jiaozi (Chinese Dumplings)
Jiaozi is important in northern China during the holidays. It is like gold or
silver ingots(锭), the ancient(古代的) Chinese money. On Chinese New Year's
Eve, all family members get together and eat jiaozi. People may hide a coin
in a jiaozi when they make it, and the person who finds the coin will have
good luck in the coming New Year.
Niangao (New Year Cake)
Niangao is a kind of Chinese cake, made with rice flour and brown sugar(糖). It is people's favourite new year food in southern China. In Chinese, gao
sounds like the word "high", and nian means year. So niangao means being
better and better year by year.
Zongzi
Zongzi is a traditional food for the Dragon Boat Festival. It is usually
made of rice with different fillings and wrapped(包裹) in reed leaves. It's
difficult to make zongzi. People make the reed leaves into a funnel(漏斗)
shape and put the rice and fillings inside, and then use thread(线) to wrap it.
Tangyuan
Tangyuan is a traditional food during the Lantern Festival. It's always
round and means reunion. There are many kinds of fillings. There is a
difference between the fillings. They are usually salty somewhere in China
while sweet in other places.
