Year-round Bao jiaozi: Spring Festival

Vigilance on New Year's Eve and jiaozi are both customs during the Spring Festival. New Year's Eve is the last day of the twelfth lunar month, which is connected with the Spring Festival (the first day of the first month). On New Year's Eve, every household should bid farewell to the old and welcome the new, which means to bid farewell to the old and welcome the new. The custom of keeping old on New Year's Eve has a long history, which was recorded as early as the Wei and Jin Dynasties.

Different watch years

As early as the Tang dynasty, there was a custom of watching the age. Bai Juyi, a great poet in the Tang Dynasty, mentioned conservatism in his poem "Looking at the Old from the Guest". In the Han Dynasty, New Year's Eve began with New Year's Eve. In the evening, the family stayed up late and talked around the stove until the next morning. In modern times, you can sleep as long as you stay up until about twelve o'clock.

The difference between North and South jiaozi

The first is scale. Jiaozi in the north is relatively big, and the meat inside is relatively thick, while jiaozi packed by northerners is generally similar. In the south, the wrapped skins are different, and jiaozi generally looks more delicate. The second is how to eat. Jiaozi in the north is generally dry and does not add soup, while southerners usually bring soup and dip it in seasoning when cooking jiaozi.
