Guangdong is called wonton, Hubei is called wrapped noodles, Jiangxi is called clear soup, and Sichuan is called wonton.

Wonton is a kind of cake, the difference is that there is meat in it, which is cooked and eaten; If cooked in soup, it is called "soup cake". China ancient people thought it was a sealed steamed stuffed bun, which had no seven tricks, so it was called "chaos". According to China's word formation rules, it was later called "Wonton".
