Zhang Zhongjing invented "jiaozi" to treat people.

Zhang Zhongjing, a native of Nanyang, lived in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. His Treatise on Febrile Diseases is a masterpiece of doctors and is regarded as a classic by doctors in past dynasties. Zhang Zhongjing has a famous saying: "if you advance, you will survive;" If you retreat, you will save the people; " You can't be a good doctor and you can't be a good doctor. "During the Jian 'an period, Zhang Zhongjing was sent by the court to Changsha to be a satrap, but he still relieved the suffering of the people with medical skills. In feudal times, officials were not allowed to enter the house casually, so Zhang Zhongjing thought of a way to open the yamen on the first and fifteenth day of each month and sit in the lobby to treat the people. Zhang Zhongjing's move caused a sensation in the local area. Later, people called the doctor who was sitting in the drugstore to treat people "Mr. Zuo Tang" in memory of this great medical scientist.

Zhang Zhongjing was later dissatisfied with the darkness of the officialdom and resigned and returned to his hometown. When he got home, it was already the middle of winter. He saw many homeless people with sallow faces and thin clothes, and many people even froze their ears, which made them feel very uncomfortable. Let his disciples set up a medical shed and cauldron in Dongguan, Nanyang, and give up "Quhan Joule Decoction" to treat chilblain from the winter of solstice to New Year's Eve.

He boiled mutton, peppers and some herbs in a pot to dispel the cold, then took them out and chopped them up, made them into ear-shaped "charming ears" with bread, and shared them with the people after cooking. People ate Joule and drank Quhan Decoction, and their whole bodies were warm, their ears were hot, and their frostbitten ears were cured. Later generations used Zhang Zhongjing's "charming ears" for reference, and made food for Chinese New Year, which was called "jiaozi". Up to now, there is still a folk song, "jiaozi Bowl is improper in New Year, and nobody cares about frozen ears".
