What are the traditional cultures in jiaozi?

There is a folk proverb called "jiaozi Bowl runs amok on the solstice in winter, and nobody cares if its ears freeze off". "On the first day, jiaozi, the second day, and the third day, the zygotes revolve around the pot." The zygote is also a kind of jiaozi, which is usually cooked in the third grade. The fifth day of the first month is called "Breaking Five", and jiaozi is also eaten. In fact, what China people value most is the jiaozi on New Year's Eve (also called "New Year's Eve"), which is a cultural gene passed down from generation to generation. The whole family will have a happy dinner together in jiaozi, to express their good expectations and wishes for rich financial resources, peace and good luck, happiness and health, and prosperous population in the coming year. Jiaozi is a small town with profound cultural connotation.

Jiaozi originated in China and has a history of more than 2,600 years. The Book of Rites is one of the Confucian classics compiled by Dai Sheng in the Western Han Dynasty, and it is a monograph devoted to the study of various etiquette before the Qin and Han Dynasties. It says, "Rice comes second, meat comes first, so it can be fried as bait." However, there are different opinions on who made the jiaozi, and there is no accurate and detailed historical record and reasonable and scientific explanation. However, it is not an exaggeration to say that there are two theories about the origin of jiaozi.

Zhang Zhongjing said that jiaozi originated from Zhang Zhongjing's "medical sage" and "giving up medicine on the winter solstice". During the Eastern Han Dynasty, Zhang Zhongjing, a Nie native of Nanyang County (now Gedong Town, dengzhou city City, Henan Province), devoted himself to studying ancient medical books and collecting effective prescriptions, and wrote Treatise on Febrile Diseases, which was regarded as a classic by doctors in past dynasties and made outstanding contributions to the development of traditional Chinese medicine. Throughout his life, he took the motto of "saving the world if he advances, saving the people if he retreats, not being a good doctor, but also being a good doctor" as his motto, helping the world and saving people and caring for the people. Changsha served as the magistrate and was in charge for three years. He did not forget to practice medicine in the lobby. He saw that the villagers on both sides of the Baihe River were all scrawny with cold, and many people's ears were festering with cold, and they couldn't bear it. They resigned to practice medicine for the people. When winter arrived, he asked his disciples to set up a shed and support a pot in Dongguan, Nanyang, and cook mutton, peppers and herbs for dispelling cold in one pot. When cooked, take it out and chop it up, and then cook it into an ear-shaped "pepper" soup. After each person drank a bowl of soup with two horns, his whole body was swollen with blood, his ears were burning, his cold disappeared, and his frozen ears soon recovered. It has been handed down from generation to generation for more than 1700 years, and people eat Joule to the sun every winter to commemorate Teacher Zhang Zhongjing.

Li Shimin said, according to legend, Li Shimin, Emperor Taizong, liked to eat meatballs and was afraid of being greasy, so he asked the chef to add vegetables to the meat. As a result, neither frying nor boiling can be formed. When the chef had a brainwave, Emperor Taizong asked what it was, and the chef replied that it was made of leather bag meatballs, which were very strong and called "prison pills". Unexpectedly, Emperor Taizong was overjoyed and even shouted, "Great! That's great! " Playing that kind of "prison pill" has become a landmark food for major festivals. 1972, archaeologists found more than a dozen pieces of "crescent-shaped" food in a wooden bowl buried in the tomb of Astana Tang in Turpan, Xinjiang, which were identified by experts as "prison pills" in the Tang Dynasty, similar to today's jiaozi. It can be seen that as early as 1300 years ago, the courtship of the Tang Dynasty had spread to ethnic minority areas in the western regions.

The Spring Festival is the most poetic festival. Taking beginning of spring as the beginning of the year, welcoming the New Year means welcoming the spring. Therefore, China New Year is the most important festival in China's life, which is both joyful and sacred. As Lu Xun said, "the end of the old calendar is the most like the end of the year." "There is no jiaozi in the New Year, and jiaozi can't eat it last year." The statement is somewhat biased, but it reflects people's desire and yearning from one side. Small slot, wrapped in Gan Kun and people's psychology of happiness, peace, auspiciousness and hope in the coming year, is a symbol of abundance and harvest in the new year. It is completely integrated with the traditional culture of China, and it also casts the soul of the descendants of the Chinese nation and permeates everyone's life.
