什么是汤圆？

Tangyuan is a Chinese dessert made from glutinous rice flour mixed with a small amount of water to form balls and is then cooked and served in boiling water.

汤圆是中国的传统甜品，用糯米粉浸入少量水揉成球状，放入水里煮，食用时带汤盛出。

Its history can date back to the Song Dynasty.

汤圆的历史可追溯到宋朝时期。

In Chinese, the pronunciation of Tangyuan is similar to the word Tuanyuan, which has the meaning of reunion and happiness in Chinese.

汤圆的中文发音近似于“团圆”的发音，因此有“团团圆圆，幸福美满”之意。

They are traditionally eaten during the Lantern Festival, but also served as a dessert on Chinese wedding day, Dongzhi, and any occasions such as family reunion.

按传统习俗，汤圆在元宵节、婚礼、冬至和家庭团聚的时候作为点心食用。
