汤圆 (tāngyuán) are traditional Chinese rice dumplings made from glutinous rice flour. They are typically filled with sweet or savory fillings, such as sesame paste, red bean paste, or peanut butter.汤圆 are often served in a warm, sweet broth, especially during festivals like the Lantern Festival and Chinese New Year. These dumplings symbolize family unity and togetherness, making them a popular dish for celebrations. The round shape of 汤圆 represents completeness and harmony. They can be enjoyed at any time of the year, but their significance is particularly highlighted during special occasions in Chinese culture.
