A variety of fillings are wrapped in the dough, which will assemble into a ball after cooking. People take advantage of this characteristic of dumplings to hope that people who have left home can come back soon and reunite with their families. As the saying goes, "South porridge and north porridge". As a special food in the north, noodles have the characteristic of being "long". When people come back from a trip, their families make a bowl of long noodles, hoping that those who return home can stay at home and be a family. Be together for a long time.

In addition, cooked noodles are not easy to stick to each other and are both smooth and loose. People believe that after eating noodles, all the sorrows and troubles outside will be removed, which means that everything will go well when you return home.
