Jiaozi existed as early as the Three Kingdoms, but the jiaozi at that time was similar to the current wonton. After it was cooked, it was mixed with soup in a bowl, so people at that time called jiaozi "wonton". It was not until after the Tang Dynasty that jiaozi became the same as it is now. Jiaozi's original name is said to be "Jiao Er", which was first invented by Zhang Zhongjing, a medical saint in China. His story of "Quhan Jiaoer Decoction" is still circulating among the people in China.

Beginning of winter also eats jiaozi because jiaozi comes from the saying of "the time of copulation". New Year's Eve is the turn of the old year and the new year, and beginning of winter is the turn of autumn and winter, so jiaozi can't help eating when she is "in love". Nowadays, people have gradually restored this ancient custom. On beginning of winter Day, all kinds of jiaozi are very popular.

Beginning of winter solar terms have the meaning of autumn harvest and winter storage. China used to be a farming society. People who have worked for a year should take advantage of beginning of winter to have a rest and reward their family for their hard work over the past year. There is a proverb that "beginning of winter fills the winter and fills the mouth" is the best metaphor.

The cold climate in winter affects the endocrine system of human body. In the daily diet, the human body needs "tonic" to increase the intake of various nutrients. Jiaozi can meet this requirement in terms of production types, nutrition and taste, so it is naturally popular.

custom

1, welcome the winter

Beginning of winter, together with beginning of spring, long summer and beginning of autumn, is an important festival in ancient society. In the past, it was a farming society. After working for a year, I took advantage of beginning of winter to have a rest and reward my family for their hard work.

2. He Dong

He Dong, also known as "worshipping winter", had this custom in the Han Dynasty. Cui Ding's "Four People's Moon Order" in the Eastern Han Dynasty: "On the day of the winter solstice, wine and food are served, and aged person, the monarch's teacher, is greeted as a sunny day." On this day in the Song Dynasty, people changed their new clothes and celebrated exchanges, just like the New Year's Day. In the Qing dynasty, "the solstice was the winter solstice, and the scholar-officials paid homage to their elders and paid tribute to each other."

Fine people, men and women, will also be more fresh clothes to bow to each other, which is called "worship winter." (See Gu Lu's Qing Jia Lu, Volume 11). Since the Republic of China, the traditional customs of He Dong seem to be simplified. However, some activities are gradually fixed, stylized and more universal. For example, winter school and teacher worship activities are all held in winter.

3. Eat jiaozi

Jiaozi's original name is said to be "Jiao Er", which was first invented by Zhang Zhongjing, a medical saint in China.

His story of "Quhan Jiaoer Decoction" is still circulating among the people in China. "beginning of winter misbehaves jiaozi Bowl, and nobody cares if his ears are frozen." beginning of winter means that winter is coming, and when it gets cold, his ears are easily frostbitten. Therefore, it is the most intimate care of his family for their loved ones to eat jiaozi, which looks like his ears.
