Jiaozi is a folk food with a long history, and it is also a unique folk tradition of China people during the Spring Festival. It means "make friends when you are young", so it is very popular with people. There is a folk saying "delicious but not as good as jiaozi". In recent years, jiaozi is not only the traditional food that China people like, but also the food that many foreign friends like.
Some folklore experts believe that beginning of winter is the turn of autumn and winter, and it is the time for "making love", so eating jiaozi at this time means "obeying God's will". But in fact, modern people not only eat jiaozi in solar terms, but also eat jiaozi in some grand festivals. For example, newlyweds feed jiaozi to each other when they get married, which means harmony and beauty.
It is understood that carrots, mutton, onions and beef are all good choices for jiaozi to start in winter. According to people's different tastes, people will wrap jiaozi with various fillings. In the north, Chinese cabbage pork, celery pork, or leek eggs are the majority.
During the Chinese New Year, every household wraps jiaozi to symbolize the happiness of family reunion. Eating jiaozi during the solar term is the most intense moment. Whether it is winter in beginning of winter or solstice, in short, people must pay attention to cold protection and warmth.
