用英文讲讲中国人过年爱吃的东西
例如：瓜子,糖冬瓜,糖莲子,

Answer 1

People in northern China will eat jiaozi,or dumplings,for breakfast,as they think "jiaozi" in sound means "bidding farewell to the old and ushering in the new".Also,the shape of the dumpling is like gold ingot from ancient China.So people eat them and wish for money and treasure.
Southern Chinese eat niangao (New Year cake made of glutinous rice flour) on this occasion,because as a homophone,niangao means "higher and higher,one year after another."
