Modern people have continued this ancient custom. On that day in beginning of winter, all kinds of jiaozi were very popular.

The old Beijingers said, "beginning of winter fills the winter, not the mouth." Beginning of winter's rule is to eat jiaozi. There is a saying that "the north eats jiaozi and the south eats ducks". Because jiaozi looks like an ear, people think that if you eat it, your ear won't be frozen in winter.

Jiaozi's cooking methods can also be steamed, fried, fried and so on. Cooking methods, steaming is not as nutritious as cooking. If you are cooking jiaozi, don't pour jiaozi soup. Jiaozi wants to drink jiaozi soup because jiaozi wants to cook it. Soluble nutrients, such as vitamin B 1, B2, folic acid, nicotinic acid, potassium and some magnesium, will be dissolved in the noodle soup, and the amount of dissolved nutrients is greater than the amount lost by heating. So eating jiaozi should be "the original soup".
