Chinese people like eating dumplings, jiao zi, for their delicious taste and auspicious meanings.

Jiao zi are made of meat and vegetable filling, and enclosed in a pastry shaped like a half moon. They are boiled in water and eaten with sauces like vinegar. There are hundreds of fillings with different flavours. The shape of jiao zi looks like the ancient currency of China called yuan bao. People eat dumplings on the Chinese New Year wishing they will earn more money in the coming year. There are many steps to make jiao zi. People even like to put a coin into one jiao zi and anyone who gets this coin will be lucky in the coming year.

Making jiao zi together with the whole family creates a unique, harmonious atmosphere. Chinese believe that a hot bowl of jiao zi is full of the family's love and affection.
