According to legend, at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Zhang Zhongjing, a "medical sage", served as the magistrate of Changsha, then resigned and returned to his hometown. Just in time for the winter solstice, he saw that the people in Nanyang were hungry and cold, and their ears were frostbitten. At that time, typhoid fever was prevalent and many people died. As soon as Zhang Zhongjing saw it, he wrapped mutton, peppers and herbs for removing cold and heat in dough, kneaded them into the shape of ears, cooked them and distributed them to the poor. Later, people ate from the solstice of winter until New Year's Eve to resist typhoid fever and cure their frozen ears.
