Is jiaozi a traditional food in China?

Jiaozi is a traditional food in China. Jiaozi originated from the ancient trough. Jiaozi, formerly known as Joule, was first invented by Zhang Zhongjing, a doctor in Nanyang, China, with a history of 1800 years.

Jiaozi, also known as jiaozi, is a traditional special food deeply loved by the people of China. It is China's staple food and local snacks, and it is also a New Year's food. There is a folk song called "Xiao Han, eat jiaozi in the New Year." Jiaozi often cooks with flour and leather bag stuffing.

The development of jiaozi

By the time of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, wonton had been "shaped like a crescent moon, and it was delicious all over the world". Presumably, when jiaozi cooked it, he didn't take it out and eat it alone, but put it in a bowl with the soup, so people called jiaozi "wonton" at that time. This way of eating is still popular in some areas of China. For example, when people from Henan and Shaanxi eat jiaozi, they should put some small ingredients such as coriander, chopped green onion, shrimp skin and leek in the soup.

By the Tang Dynasty, jiaozi had become almost the same as jiaozi today, and they were all fished out and put on plates to eat. Also known as "Crescent Moon Wonton". There is a legend in Chang 'an that a generation of empress Wu Zetian invented jiaozi.

Jiaozi was called "Joule" in Song Dynasty, which is the etymology of the word "Jiaozi" in later generations. Song Mengyuan's Dream of Tokyo recalls the prosperity of Bianjing in the Northern Song Dynasty. The second volume mentions that there are "Crystal Corner", "Fried Corner" and "Hump Corner" in the market.

Song Sishui's "Old Wulin Stories" mentioned in Volume 6 that there are "city corners" and "various corners" in Lin 'an market. This kind of writing can still be seen in the following Yuan, Ming, Qing and Republic of China. In the Southern Song Dynasty, it was called "dried meat with double horns".

Jiaozi was introduced into Mongolia in Song Dynasty. Jiaozi spread to Mongolia, and jiaozi's pronunciation in Mongolian is similar to "plaque food". With the conquest of the Mongolian empire, flat food also spread to all parts of the world. There are Russian jiaozi, Kazakh jiaozi, Korean jiaozi and other varieties.
