In the southern region, steamed dumplings and dumplings are shaped like wheat ears; In the north, it is made into an ingot shape and a crescent shape.

The legend of eating jiaozi in the New Year
jiaozi is a folk food with a long history, which is very popular among the people. There is a saying among the people that "it's delicious but not as good as jiaozi". During the Spring Festival, jiaozi has become an indispensable delicacy.
jiaozi originated in China with a history of more than 2,6 years. It is said that jiaozi originated from Zhang Zhongjing, a "medical sage", who gave up medicine on the winter solstice. During the Eastern Han Dynasty, Zhang Zhongjing of Nanyang County Nie, during his stay in Changsha, saw that the villagers on both sides of the Baihe River were cold and gaunt. Many people's ears were frozen and festered, and their hearts could not bear it. They resigned and practiced medicine for the people. When winter arrived, he asked his disciples to set up a shed and support a pot in Dongguan, Nanyang, and cook mutton, peppers and herbs for dispelling cold in one pot. When cooked, they took out and chopped them, and then cooked them into ear-shaped "jiao-er" soup. After each person took a bowl of soup for each jiao-er, his whole body blood surged, his ears became hot and the cold disappeared. Frozen ears are cured quickly. It has been passed down from generation to generation for more than 17 years, and people eat jiaoer every winter solstice to commemorate Zhang Zhongjing's teacher.
It is said that when Nu Wa squeezes the soil and causes people, the ears of the loess people are easily frozen off because of the freezing weather. In order to make the ears not be fixed, Nu Wa pricks a small eye in the ear, ties the ear with a thin thread, and puts the other end of the thread in the mouth of the loess people to bite it, so that the ear can be completed. In order to commemorate the achievements of Nu Wa, ordinary people wrapped up jiaozi, shaped it into an adult's ear with flour, wrapped it with stuffing (thread) and ate it with their mouths.
the development history of jiaozi
According to Guangya written by Zhang Yi, a Wei man from the Three Kingdoms, there was a crescent-shaped food called "wonton" at that time, which was basically similar to the shape of jiaozi now. By the time of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, wonton was "shaped like a crescent moon, and the world was full of food". It is speculated that when jiaozi was cooked, it was not fished out and eaten alone, but mixed with soup in a bowl, so people called jiaozi "wonton" at that time. This way of eating is still popular in some areas of our country. For example, people in Henan and Shaanxi eat jiaozi, and they should put some small ingredients such as coriander, chopped green onion, shrimp skin and leek in the soup.
By about the Tang Dynasty, jiaozi had become exactly the same as jiaozi now, and it was fished out and eaten alone on a plate.
jiaozi was called "Jiao Er" in Song Dynasty, which was the etymology of the word "jiaozi" in later generations. This kind of writing can still be seen in the following Yuan, Ming, Qing and Republic of China.
The Yuan Dynasty called jiaozi a "flat food". During the Wanli period of Ming Dynasty, Shen Bang's Miscellaneous Notes of Wan Department recorded: "New Year's Day, New Year's greetings ...... as a plaque food". Liu Ruoyu's "Deliberation in Records" states: "Eating fruit snacks on the first day of the Lunar New Year, that is, eating food on a plaque." The "plaque" of the "plaque food" in the Yuan and Ming Dynasties has now been commonly used as "flat". A "flat food" may come from Mongolian.
During the Qing Dynasty, new appellations about jiaozi appeared, such as "dumpling", "water snack" and "boiled cake". The increase of jiaozi's names shows that its geographical spread is constantly expanding.
The folk custom of eating jiaozi during the Spring Festival was quite popular in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Jiaozi is usually wrapped before 12 o'clock in the evening of New Year's Eve and eaten at midnight. At this time, it is the beginning of the first day of the first lunar month. Eating jiaozi means "making friends at a younger age", and "zi" is homophonic with "dumpling", which means "happy reunion" and "good luck".
