Why does Toufu eat dumplings?

It is a traditional custom to eat dumplings on the first day of the summer, because during the dog days, people have a bad appetite and cannot eat. In the traditional customs of the Chinese people, dumplings are an appetizing food.

In the past, the first harvest of wheat coincided with the wheat harvest for less than a month. Every family had food, so they took advantage of this time to enjoy delicious food. There is also a saying that "the food is not as delicious as dumplings", so dumplings naturally become the first choice. . Dumplings are shaped like ingots, and "Fu" has the same pronunciation as "福", so "Chufu" dumplings are also said to be "ingot treasures blessings".

In the hot summer, people tend to have a bad appetite and cannot eat, and dumplings are a traditional appetizer to satisfy the craving. People eat dumplings at "Chufu" in the hope of spending the summer safely.

What’s more important is that eating dumplings in the “first period” and then drinking the hot original soup to make you sweat can dispel the “poisonous fire” of midsummer and make up for the physical exertion in the sultry weather.
