During the Spring Festival, people enjoy not only reuniting（相聚）with their family, but also tasting the delicious food.

Dumplings

With a history of nearly 2,000 years, dumplings are the most popular traditional food in China. They’re indispensable（不可缺少的）on Chinese New Year’s Eve dinner tables, especially in the north. The food is usually made before noon on New Year’s Eve and eaten at midnight. Sometimes, people put coins or nuts inside to make lucky dumplings.

Yuanxiao

The custom of eating yuanxiao was first recorded in the Song Dynasty. At that time, people in Mingzhou-known today as Ningbo-created the food. They made different kinds of fillings, rolled them into balls, and then boiled them in a pot.

Rice cakes

During the Spring Festival, many people eat rice cakes, which symbolizes（象征）the idea that life is improving year by year.

Other traditional Spring Festival food

If you go to Guangxi you can see people enjoy eating zongzi during the Spring Festival. Eight-treasure rice, or babao fan in Chinese, is an indispensable food for people in Shanghai on Chinese New Year’s Eve. It represents reunion, good luck and health.
