origin

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 Wonton" in the Three Kingdoms period, "Wonton" in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, "Crescent Wonton" in the Tang Dynasty, "jiaozi" in the Song Dynasty and "Flat Food" in the Yuan and Ming Dynasties. It was called "Jiaozi" in Qing Dynasty.

Jiaozi originated in the Eastern Han Dynasty and was initiated by Zhang Zhongjing, a native of Dengzhou, 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.
