i got this off the bbc site:
One of the most popular courses is jiaozi - dumplings boiled in water.
Jiaozi means "sleep together and have sons," a good wish for a family.
i never knew it means that!
also:
A typical food is tang yuan - another kind of dumpling made of sweet rice rolled into balls
and stuffed with either sweet or spicy fillings.
i think the writer was thinking of ba zhang when he/she wrote the article.
oh well...
check out bbc.co.uk if ur free! it's got interesting reads,
like the 'fortune stick' at http://www.bbc.co.uk/london/yourlondon/cny2005/fortune_stick.shtml
