In Sichuan, wontons are called "jiaoshi" (抄手).

There are two reasons why it is called "coping hand":

The first one:

One is because it is thin-skinned and easy to cook, and between the coping hands, it is already cooked and served on the table. There is a story, someone wandering in the streets of Chengdu to a snack bar, asked the boss why the "wonton" to here into the "copy hand". The boss did not say anything, only the hands of wontons to the soup pot a throw, and then hands in front of the chest a copy of the body to look at the door frame on a leaning, and then gleaming eyes staring at the soup that thing. A minute later, the thing is ready, served in a bowl, served to the diners, shouting "copy hand two two".

Another theory is that it looks like a person copying two hands: the final process of making wontons is to copy the two ends of the pasta sheet to the center and stick it tightly together, which looks like the image of people copying their hands in their arms to avoid the cold in the winter, and that's why it's called "copping hands.
