I know there is another story about the origin of jiaozi.
Jiaozi is a traditional food in China. Jiaozi in ancient times was called Wonton, which is different from Wonton now. As early as the Three Kingdoms period, wei ren Zhang Yi mentioned wonton in her book Guangya. Yan Zhitui of the Northern Qi Dynasty put it more specifically: "Today, wonton is shaped like a crescent moon, and it is delicious all over the world." The crescent moon is half a moon, just in the shape of jiaozi. In the Tang Dynasty, it was also called "prison pill". In the book "Miscellaneous Things in Xiyang" written by Duan in Tang Dynasty, there is a record of prison pills entering the soup. At the end of Ming Dynasty, Zhang Zilie researched the origin of Jiaozi's name. He said: "Jiao bait is a soup pill, or powder horn. Northerners read horns as horns, and because they call jiaozi bait, they are fake jiaozi. " . According to these records, jiaozi has a history of at least 1000 years. 1968 In Tana North District, Turpan City, Xinjiang, archaeologists excavated a tomb of the Tang Dynasty and unearthed a wooden bowl containing jiaozi, which is still well preserved and has the same shape as today's jiaozi. This shows that Jiaozi not only has a long history, but also spread to ethnic minority areas in western China as early as the Tang Dynasty. For hundreds of years, jiaozi has been a traditional food for the Spring Festival in northern China. People eat jiaozi in the Spring Festival not only because it is delicious, but also because it is "auspicious". So some places wrap jiaozi in the shape of an ingot, and some also wrap peanuts, because peanuts are also called longevity fruit. I hope I can live a long and healthy life by eating this kind of jiaozi.
