Proverbs are jingles handed down from the people, most of which are life experiences or life philosophies passed down from mouth to mouth in the lives of ordinary people. Proverbs not only show a traditional folk custom, but also have a certain truth in life. However, with the randomness and cynicism of people's lives, many common sayings are biased. In fact, the next sentence of "delicious but jiaozi" should be "it's better to be upside down if you are comfortable".
Jiaozi is a kind of delicious food that often appears on the table of ordinary people. Now people's living standards have improved, so it is very common to eat jiaozi at ordinary times.
The explanation of "delicious but jiaozi" is very simple. Although this is a sentence that people often say, it shows people's pursuit and love for food culture since ancient times. Jiaozi has a history of more than 1800 years. In ancient times, you could have a sumptuous jiaozi only on holidays.
Ancient people had special feelings about eating, while eating jiaozi was the pursuit of food enjoyment. But after a hard day's work, you should also enjoy the physical comfort, so there is a saying that "it is better to be comfortable than to be upside down". Since ancient times, most people's lives have been dominated by farming and grazing, and the life of "working at sunrise and resting at sunset" has been repeated until modern society.
Origin of jiaozi:
Jiaozi evolved from wonton. In its long development process, there are many names, such as "prison pill", "flat food", "dumpling bait" and "powder horn" in ancient times. It was called "Crescent Moon Wonton" in the Three Kingdoms period, "Wonton" in the Southern and Northern Dynasties, "Crescent Moon Wonton" in the Tang Dynasty, "Jiao Zi" in the Song Dynasty and "Flat Food" in the Yuan and Ming Dynasties.
In Qing Dynasty, it was called "jiaozi". Jiaozi originated in the Eastern Han Dynasty and was first created by Zhang Zhongjing, a native of Dengzhou, Henan Province in the Eastern Han Dynasty. At that time, jiaozi was used for medicine, and Zhang Zhongjing wrapped some cold-dispelling herbs in dough to treat diseases (mutton, pepper, etc.) to avoid frostbite on patients' ears.
