In Mandarin, jiaozi is no different from flat food. However, some areas, such as Shanxi Province and Fujian Province, are still distinguished in some local dialects. In some regional languages, the distinction between "flat food" and "jiaozi" is like the combination of leeks, which is called flat food in some northern areas. Plain food refers to jiaozi with thick stuffing, and jiaozi refers to jiaozi with thin stuffing. In the south, people use "wonton" and "jiaozi" to distinguish them. Wonton refers to jiaozi with thick stuffing and jiaozi refers to jiaozi with thin stuffing. In Jiaodong area, people call it "hooping".
