Eating Yuanxiao on the fifteenth day of the first month is a common custom all over the country. Experts say that jiaozi is also called "Dumplings" or "Tangyuan" and "jiaozi", while South Renye Fang is called "Dumplings" and "Floating Dumplings". On the fifteenth day of the first month, almost every household eats Yuanxiao. In addition, the name of Tangyuan is similar to the pronunciation of "reunion", which means reunion, symbolizing family reunion, harmony and happiness. People also miss their departed relatives and place their best wishes on their future lives.

Folklore experts say that when cooking jiaozi, it looks good because it floats on the water after boiling, which reminds people of a bright moon hanging on the cloud. There is a bright moon in the sky, jiaozi in the bowl, and every family is round and round, symbolizing reunion and good luck. Therefore, eating dumplings expresses people's love for family reunion. At the same time, it also reflects China people's inheritance and love for traditional festivals, and also their love for China culture.
