　　Chuxiong Dumplings

　　Dumplings originated from ancient "jiaozi." The dumpling was originally called "jiao’er" (delicate ear), and it is said to have been first invented by Zhang Zhongjing, the sage of Chinese medicine, over 1,800 years ago. It is a traditional and beloved specialty food among the Chinese people, also known as boiled dumpling, a staple food and local snack in northern China, as well as a festive food for holidays. There is a folk rhyme that goes, “In Major and Minor Cold, eat dumplings to ring in the New Year.” Dumplings are mostly made by wrapping fillings in dough wrappers and boiling them. There is also a movie with the same name.
