Although we often say that Chinese culture has been profound for five thousand years, correspondingly, China cuisine is not inferior. We should know that Homo sapiens in ancient times had high wisdom and enjoyed life very much, so they slowly invented many delicious things, which have been passed down to this day. But there are many delicious foods that can only be eaten at its specific production site, especially many court cakes, which are delicious and beautiful, but there is one thing that every household can eat from time to time, and in many festivals in China, people also like to take it as the staple food, that is, jiaozi.
jiaozi is an indispensable food, and it is very popular in families. It is said that jiaozi was invented by Zhang Zhongjing, a medical sage, in order to treat people with frozen ear disease. It is to put chopped mutton and some medicinal materials into the dough, and then knead it to make it into the shape of an ear. Because it looks like an ear, people called it dumpling ear at that time, but it was slowly called jiaozi later. People ate Zhang Zhongjing's jiaozi and cured the frozen ear disease. In memory of Zhang Zhongjing, people made jiaozi all the time, imitating this jiaozi every winter solstice when they felt frozen ears, as if they could cure this. And the stuffing inside has been varied from the beginning, and then jiaozi's practices and eating methods have been passed down to the present.
jiaozi is a traditional staple food at our table. Jiaozi is a must when there is a festival. Jiaozi's stuffing has also changed from the beginning to the single to the present variety. It can be said that as long as it can be wrapped, it can be eaten.
There are many delicious foods handed down from ancient times, not just jiaozi. For example, Su Dongpo's Dongpo pork is also very popular.
