Eating jiaozi before school starts is an ancient custom in China: from jiaozi, stay at home. Going out, eating jiaozi means a steady step and a safe journey, and a foothold means smooth sailing home. There is a custom for children in Jiaodong Peninsula to eat jiaozi on the first day of school, which has many meanings and sayings.

Eating jiaozi at the beginning of the new school year means believing in jiaozi's homophonic "favorite" and trying to be lucky, encouraging children to go to school well in the new school year, and hoping their children will achieve something. It is a way for elders to express their expectations, entrust and bless their children.

No matter from the perspective of good morality or health, "Get up and get off jiaozi" is in line with people's actual needs, and this folk custom is worth inheriting. Today is my daughter's first day of school. Although she doesn't live in school, I still want to wrap jiaozi for her, which is stuffed with leeks. I hope she can do well in middle school and maintain long-term excellent results.
