What is the cultural introduction of jiaozi?

Jiaozi originated in ancient jiaozi, China, formerly known as Joule, a traditional noodle of Han nationality, with 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.

Jiaozi is deeply loved by the people of China. It is the staple food of people in northern China and local snacks, and it is also the food for Chinese New Year. There is a folk proverb called "freezing in the cold, eating jiaozi in the New Year." Jiaozi often cooks with flour and leather bag stuffing.

There is a tradition of eating jiaozi on New Year's Eve, but the custom of eating jiaozi varies from place to place. Some places eat jiaozi on New Year's Eve, and some places eat jiaozi on the first day. Eating jiaozi is a unique way for people to express their wishes when they bid farewell to the old and welcome the new. Jiaozi is homophonic with Jiaozi, that is, when the old year intersects with the new year. Eating jiaozi during the Spring Festival means good luck. Besides, jiaozi is shaped like an ingot, and wrapping jiaozi means good luck.

The moral of jiaozi:

Jiaozi is not only a delicacy in China, but also contains China culture. It is a delicious snack for every household at ordinary times, and it is also a necessary food for New Year's Eve, which expresses people's yearning and appeal for a better life.

When jiaozi can't eat it all at once because of too many bags, and can save it for the next meal, it can be fried instead, which is also delicious. People are used to frying jiaozi with food. However, the dietary trend advocates health, and oily food is not very popular. In fact, frying jiaozi with water alone, or using soup instead of cooking oil, tastes good.
