"Jiao Zi drinks more, and the more he drinks, the more he has", which in itself is an exhortation. It is inevitable to have a dinner on the wine table, but it should have a lively atmosphere, but it should also be accompanied by appropriate appetizers. Appetizers should be not only delicious, but also "eaten", and based on cold dishes, suitable for drinking for at least half an hour.
Although jiaozi is not a dish, it is completely chewy. And there are all kinds of fillings in jiaozi, including meat and seafood. Eating one bite at a time is almost like a side dish. So jiaozi is very suitable for drinking.
Gujiaozi:
Jiaozi was called "Joule" in Song Dynasty, which is the etymology of the word "Jiaozi" in later generations. Song Mengyuan's Dream of Tokyo recalls the prosperity of Bianjing in the Northern Song Dynasty. The second volume mentions that there are "Crystal Corner", "Fried Corner" and "Hump Corner" in the market. Song Sishui's "Old Wulin Stories" mentioned in Volume 6 that there are "city corners" and "various corners" in Lin 'an market. This kind of writing can still be seen in the following Yuan, Ming, Qing and Republic of China. In the Southern Song Dynasty, it was called "dried meat with double horns".
Jiaozi was introduced into Mongolia in Song Dynasty. Jiaozi spread to Mongolia, and jiaozi's pronunciation in Mongolian is similar to "plaque food". With the conquest of the Mongolian empire, plaque food also spread to all parts of the world. There are Russian jiaozi, Kazakh jiaozi, Korean jiaozi and other varieties.
