It was invented during the last year of China's Han Dynasty by a Chinese doctor name "Chang Zhong Jin". Original intend is to add in some anti-cold medication inside the wrapping and he passed the cooked dumplings out to the poor and sick in that region. Ironically, everyone was well after eating the dumpling thus it became a popular dish to eat. Chinese like to eat dumpling during Chinese New Year's eve when family members gather around to wait for the count down. It's another way to celebrate Chinese New Year. In the past, some Chinese even wrap a "lucky" coin inside the dumpling, whoever had the "lucky" dumpling with the coin inside is suppose to be the "LUCKY" person as the new year unfolds.
