Wonton origin background
In Dialect written by Yang Xiong in the Western Han Dynasty, it was mentioned that "the cake is called Tun". Wonton is a kind of cake, the difference is that its stuffing is meat, which is cooked and eaten; If cooked in soup, it is called "soup cake".
Ancient China people thought it was a sealed steamed stuffed bun with no seven holes, so it was called "chaos". According to China's word formation rules, it was later called "Wonton". At this time, wonton is no different from jiaozi. Since the Tang Dynasty, the names of wonton and jiaozi have been formally distinguished. Many places in China have the custom of eating wonton on the solstice in winter.
In the Southern Song Dynasty, Lin 'an (now Hangzhou) also had the custom of eating wonton from winter to Sunday. Song people carefully said that Lin 'an people eat wonton to worship their ancestors on the solstice in winter. It was not until the Southern Song Dynasty that the custom of eating wonton on the solstice became popular in China.
