The source of jiaozi:

Jiaozi is a kind of folk food with a long history, which is very popular among the people. There is a saying among the people that "it's delicious but not as good as jiaozi". During the Spring Festival, jiaozi has become an indispensable delicacy.

According to Guangya, written by Zhang Yi, a Wei native of the Three Kingdoms, there was a crescent-shaped food called "wonton" at that time, which was basically similar to the shape of jiaozi now. By the time of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, wonton was "shaped like a crescent moon, and the world was full of food". It is speculated that when jiaozi was cooked, it was not fished out and eaten alone, but mixed with soup in a bowl, so people called jiaozi "wonton" at that time.

This way of eating is still popular in some areas of our country. For example, people in Henan and Shaanxi eat jiaozi, and they should put some small ingredients such as coriander, chopped green onion, shrimp skin and leek in the soup.
