2. It is one of the traditional foods in China. Also known as eating flat or cooking cakes. In ancient times, there were only wonton, not jiaozi. Later, wonton was made into a crescent shape and became jiaozi. In the Tang Dynasty, the habit of eating jiaozi had spread to the remote areas of China. On New Year's Eve, at 12: 11, we began to eat jiaozi, so this is a year's time, which means that the old and the new alternate, and it's time for a year.
It is said that northerners are used to eating jiaozi during Chinese New Year, which means "making friends when they are young" (in fact, it is called "trough" in ancient jiaozi). Because the white flour jiaozi is shaped like a silver ingot, the pots on the table symbolize the meaning of "getting rich in the New Year, and the ingots are rolling in". Some wrapped jiaozi and some coins sterilized with boiling water, saying that whoever ate first would make more money.
