Jiaozi has been used for banquets since 1000 years ago in the Tang Dynasty. Chang 'an, the capital at that time, was the economic and cultural center of the Tang Dynasty. In times of peace and prosperity, people's requirements for life are getting higher and higher, and food culture has also developed. In the Tang Dynasty, there was a high-class banquet in Chang 'an, called "Shao Weiyan", which was a sumptuous banquet dedicated to the emperor after the official position of the court minister was promoted. We found a menu of "Roast Tail Banquet" preserved in the Tang Dynasty, which is equivalent to today's menu. In this menu, we found a dish called "Twenty-four Gas Wonton". Jiaozi is packaged into different shapes and contents according to the 24 solar terms. Therefore, we believe that today's dumpling feast may have taken shape in the Tang Dynasty.

The place where the dumpling feast appeared was Xi 'an. It was originally composed of 108 crossover, and its number has already exceeded 108. In order to meet the needs of different guests, Xi 'an dumpling banquet is divided into welcoming banquet, palace banquet, auspicious banquet and dragon and phoenix banquet. Since it's a dumpling feast, it's certainly made by jiaozi. However, great changes have taken place in the shape, color and taste of jiaozi at this banquet, and many new interests have been added in the selection of raw materials, production technology, combination methods and eating methods.

From the outside, these jiaozi are more like handicrafts. Especially those cute little animals, people don't know whether to put them in their mouths or enjoy them quietly. These jiaozi shapes are not imaginary. Most of the time, it should be consistent with the contents of dumpling stuffing. Emerald celery fragrance is celery fragrance, and peanut steamed dumplings are nuts. The colored noodles used for dumpling banquet add the juice of spinach, carrot and other vegetables to the white flour, which not only increases the color of jiaozi, but also is beneficial to health. These sculptures in jiaozi combine various techniques such as sculpture, kneading and embellishment. Creators must have strong attainments in cooking techniques and plastic arts in order to make delicious and beautiful jiaozi with seemingly ordinary raw materials. Many designs and colors of dumpling banquets are based on China's folklore or historical allusions. According to legend, "jiaozi, the Pearl Hotpot" won the favor of Empress Dowager Cixi in Qing Dynasty. It's chicken, duck and fresh mushroom soup, Shuanglong copper hot pot, and jiaozi with pearls. The burning flame keeps jumping, just like a blooming chrysanthemum, also known as the "Queen Mother Chrysanthemum Hotpot". Nowadays, "Cixi Chrysanthemum Hotpot" has become the last classic of dumpling feast. At this banquet, no matter how much jiaozi you eat, you can hear the explanation of the blessing. One represents smooth sailing, the other represents double happiness, and there are four seasons to make a fortune, five children entering the exam, seven stars shining high, and so on. The combination of these numbers and words is hard for people who don't understand Chinese, but it hasn't affected foreign tourists' interest in eating jiaozi. For them, the trouble is that chopsticks are too long and jiaozi is too small, so it is not easy to eat a jiaozi. Jiaozi, handed down from generation to generation in China, has formed an exquisite banquet here, which has also opened a window for people to understand China's food culture. As the saying goes, "Welcome to jiaozi", the dumpling feast has become a famous food in Xi, and thousands of people come here to visit it every day. Tourists from all corners of the country use different tools and eat the same jiaozi. In the ancient rhyme, jiaozi has become a symbol of China's culture and tradition, and it is a unique greeting from Xi 'an, the ancient capital, to welcome guests from afar.
