Jiaozi originated in the Eastern Han Dynasty and was initiated by Zhang Zhongjing, a native of Dengzhou, Henan Province in the Eastern Han Dynasty. At that time, jiaozi was used as medicine, and Zhang Zhongjing wrapped some cold-dispelling herbs with dough to treat diseases, such as mutton and pepper, to avoid frostbite of patients' ears.

Jiaozi originated in ancient jiaozi, China, formerly known as Joule, a traditional noodle of Han nationality, with a history of 1800 years. Invented by Zhang Zhongjing, a native of Nieyang, Nanyang in the Eastern Han Dynasty, it was originally used as medicine. Jiaozi, also known as jiaozi, is deeply loved by the people of China. It is a staple food for people in northern China, a local snack, and also a Chinese New Year food.

The origin of jiaozi

According to legend, when Zhang Zhongjing was an official in Changsha, he often treated people. Every winter, many poor villagers on both sides of the Baihe River are naked, and even many people's ears are frozen.

Seeing these scenes, Zhang Zhongjing was very sad. So he put mutton and some herbs to dispel the cold in leather bags to make them look like ears, set up a medicine shed in Nanyang and cooked the food and distributed it to the people. After the villagers ate this food, their ears healed. Later, people called this kind of food "jiaozi".
