Text: 

At Christmas every year, my friend’s family folds wontons together. This is an important ritual that everyone participates in. When a new family member is married in or born, they are taught how to fold the wontons as well, carrying on the tradition.

Context:

My friend’s father’s side of the family is from China. The wonton folding tradition stems from China.

Analysis:

This reminds me of similar traditions in Greek culture (i.e. folding spanakopita). I think may cultures have communal rituals like the wonton folding meant to carry on tradition and indoctrinate new members of the family.
