Delicious Jiaozi dumplings are considered lucky because of their historical resemblance to Chinese money. In ancient times, Chinese currency consisted of dumpling-shaped silver and gold ingots called yuan bao. The dumplings symbolize wealth and hopes for a profitable future. In northern China, it is customary for families to spend the hours before Chinese New Year preparing these tasty dumplings, which are eaten after midnight.
