When I was a child, I always made dumplings to eat during the New Year and the holidays. Probably because life was poor at that time and dumplings were the best to eat and the most luxurious., so only eat them during the New Year and the holidays. Now that people's living standards have improved, they no longer stick to one form. It is the most powerful way to nourish them on the Winter Solstice. <br /><br />Hand-grabbed mutton is a major feature in the northwest food culture and is well-known.
