The Origin of jiaozi Surface from Solstice Winter to Solstice

It is the custom of two solar terms to eat jiaozi noodles in winter and summer. It is said that jiaozi should be eaten in winter and noodles should be eaten in summer. Summer solstice and winter solstice are not only two of the 24 solar terms, but also two of the traditional folk festivals. Every traditional festival in our country has its seasonal food.

Jiaozi from winter to sunrise originated in memory of Zhang Zhongjing, a "medical sage".

Eating noodles on the solstice in summer is because this is the harvest season of wheat and it is most suitable for making noodles.

In the vast areas of China, the custom of "Winter Solstice Day jiaozi (wonton) Summer Solstice Day Noodle" has been passed down for thousands of years and has not changed. And whenever the younger generation and children of some families don't understand the significance of eating jiaozi and wonton on the solstice in winter and cold noodles and noodle soup on the solstice in summer, their elders and adults will instill in them the folk custom of "eating noodles in jiaozi on the solstice in winter".
