The Origin of jiaozi in Spring Festival

A long time ago, in a poor mountain village, there was a poor family who often ate their last meal without the next.

In ancient times, there were two folklores, one was a chef named Su, who ate jiaozi during the Chinese New Year. On the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month, he cooked 99 kinds of meals for the emperor, and the emperor was very satisfied.

The folklore of eating jiaozi in the New Year is another story about the god of wealth in heaven. Every new year, he pushes a car full of treasures to the world.

The word jiaozi began in the Song Dynasty, when jiaozi was called "Joule" instead of jiaozi. In Dream of China in Tokyo, Song Renmeng recalled the prosperity of Bianjing in the Northern Song Dynasty, in which Volume II mentioned that there were "crystal horns" and "fried horns" on the market.
