*3. 上车饺子下车面(shàng chē jiǎo zǐ xià chē miàn )
Eat dumplings while leaving, and eat noodles while coming.
*This is just a tradition in China, like when your holiday is over and leaving your family to another city, people eat dumplings, and when they arrive in a new place and just got off the train(in the past, when transportation wasn't that developed, people take train quite often), they eat noodle to welcoming a new start. On the other hand, usually, people start work on "初七"(the seventh day of the lunar new year month), and it's a custom that eats noodles on 初七.
