It is a folk staple food in northern China, local snacks, and also a new year's commodity. Jiaozi has a history of 1800 years. It was invented by Zhang Zhongjing, a native of Nieyang (now Dengzhou, Nanyang, Henan) in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and was originally used as medicine. There is a folk proverb called "The weather is cool, so we should eat jiaozi in the New Year.
