Development history

Jiaozi evolved from wonton. In its long development process, there are many names, such as "prison pill", "flat food", "dumpling bait" and "powder horn" in ancient times. It was called "Crescent Moon Wonton" in the Three Kingdoms period and "Wonton" in the Northern and Southern Dynasties.

Jiaozi was called "Crescent Wonton" in Tang Dynasty, "jiaozi" in Song Dynasty and "Flat Food" in Yuan and Ming Dynasties. The Qing Dynasty called it "Jiaozi". Jiaozi originated in the Eastern Han Dynasty and was initiated by Zhang Zhongjing, a doctor in Nanyang, Henan Province in the Eastern Han Dynasty. At that time, jiaozi was used as a medicine, and Zhang Zhongjing wrapped some cold-dispelling herbs in dough to treat diseases (mutton, pepper, etc. ) to avoid frostbite of patients' ears.

During the Three Kingdoms period, jiaozi has become a kind of food, known as "Crescent Wonton". This kind of food is mentioned in the book Guangya written by Wei. According to "Guangya" written by wei ren Zhang Yi in the Three Kingdoms period, there was a crescent-shaped food called "wonton" at that time, which was basically similar to jiaozi.

By the Tang Dynasty, jiaozi had become almost the same as jiaozi today, and they were all fished out and put on plates to eat. Also known as "Crescent Moon Wonton". There is a legend in Luoyang that a generation of empress Wu Zetian invented jiaozi.
