Garlic dumplings
Overview
Dumplings are an essential part of the New Year’s Eve dinner for northerners. Mainly in northern China, making and eating dumplings has become an important activity for most families to celebrate New Year's Eve. As the saying goes: During the Great Cold and the Lesser Cold, eat dumplings to celebrate the New Year. The Chinese New Year is the most solemn festival of the year for Chinese people. In order to have a good New Year, farmers in the old days started busying themselves with the New Year as soon as they entered the threshold of the twelfth lunar month. From the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month, commonly known as the Little New Year, the countdown to the New Year has begun. People put up lanterns, put up couplets, clean the courtyard, and prepare to welcome relatives far away and celebrate the New Year. In the north, on the night of New Year's Eve, the most important activity is to make dumplings with the whole family.
