The origin of dumplings

According to legend, at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Zhang Zhongjing, a "medical sage", served as the prefect of Changsha, then resigned and returned to his hometown. Just in time for the winter solstice, he saw that the people in Nanyang were hungry and cold, and their ears were frostbitten. At that time, typhoid fever was prevalent and many people died. Zhang Zhongjing summed up the clinical practice in the Han Dynasty for more than 300 years, so he set up a medical shed in the local area, set up a cauldron, boiled mutton, peppers and medicinal materials for removing cold and warming, made them into ear shapes with flour bags, and gave them to the poor with soup and food after cooking.

The common people ate from the winter solstice to New Year's Eve, resisted typhoid fever and cured their frozen ears. From then on, villagers and later generations imitated it and called it "dumpling ears" or "jiaozi", and some places called it "flat food" or "instant noodle dumplings". After gradually forming a custom, it is absolutely impossible to eat without jiaozi on holidays. 1400 years of history has made jiaozi take root in the minds of ordinary people. Jiaozi gradually became the spokesman of China's diet.
