On the day of the winter solstice, he set up a medical shed in the open space of Dongguan, Nanyang, and gave the poor people "soup for dispelling cold and charming ears" ("charming ears" is now jiaozi), which made people feel warm and warm after eating it. Therefore, the custom of eating jiaozi on the winter solstice continues to this day.
