        　　Dumplings Dumplings are one of the Chinese people’s favorite traditional
dishes. According to an ancient Chinese legend, dumplings were first made by the
medical saint---Zhang Zhongjing. There are three steps involved in making
dumplings: 1) make dumpling wrappers out of dumpling flour; 2) prepare the
dumpling stuffing; 3) make dumplings and boil them. With thin and elastic dough
skin, fresh and tender stuffing, delicious taste, and unique shapes, dumplings
are worth eating hundreds of times. There’s an old saying that claims, “Nothing
could be more delicious than dumplings”. During the Spring Festival and other
holidays, or when treating relatives and friends, Chinese people like to follow
the auspicious custom of eating dumplings. To Chinese people who show high
reverence for family love, having dumplings at the moment the old year is
replaced by the new is an essential part of bidding farewell to the old and
ushering in the new year.
