Why do you eat jiaozi during the Spring Festival?

The implication of eating jiaozi in the New Year.

Eating jiaozi in the Spring Festival first became popular in the north, and now jiaozi has become one of the essential foods for the Spring Festival, usually eaten on New Year's Eve and the first day of the New Year's Day.

Jiaozi was recorded as early as the Three Kingdoms period. At that time, jiaozi was called "Wonton", which was shaped like a crescent moon, much like jiaozi now. The earliest jiaozi boiled dumplings, which were eaten with soup.

Later, with the development of time, jiaozi cooked it, fished it out, and added coriander, chopped green onion, shrimp skin and leek to the "jiaozi" soup, which was collectively called "wonton".

Jiaozi became popular in Ming and Qing Dynasties. On New Year's Eve, you should eat meat, jiaozi, and on the morning of the New Year's Day, you should be a vegetarian in jiaozi. Generally speaking, jiaozi should wrap it up before midnight on New Year's Eve and eat it when he is old.

New Year's Eve refers to the alternation of New Year's Eve and the first day of the New Year's Eve, also known as "New Year's Eve". Jiaozi's name is also taken from "Niangeng jiaozi", which means auspiciousness, reunion and wealth.

In ancient times, people thought that when people ate jiaozi on New Year's Eve, they would feel full of power, while jiaozi had a harmonious tone. Then, men, women and children set off firecrackers to help the gods drive away the spectre, and then hung up a new portrait of the kitchen god devoutly, offering jiaozi-based food in front of the portraits of the God of Wealth and the kitchen god to express the meaning of peace and good luck in the coming year. After a slow inheritance, the custom of eating jiaozi on New Year's Eve came into being.

Eating jiaozi on New Year's Eve is very popular in the north. Without jiaozi, there would be no taste of Chinese New Year.
