In the early years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, a serious plague broke out in Changsha, and although Zhang Zhongjing, who served as a taishou, was skilled in medicine, he was helpless in the face of the sudden epidemic, so he resigned and returned to his hometown. It was the middle of winter, and Zhang Zhongjing saw the people running around hungry and cold on the way to escape, paying for the poor out of their own pockets.
Many people's ears were frozen, Zhang Zhongjing set up a medical shed in the open space to diagnose and treat them, and then set up a large cauldron, put the lamb, peppers and cold herbs into the pot, boiled the lamb and medicinal herbs out and chopped, wrapped in dough skin into ear-shaped "jiao'er" under the pot and cooked, distributed to the poor people to eat.
This medicine is called "cold ear soup", people eat a few delicate ears, drink a large bowl of soup after suddenly feel warm all over the body, both ears warm. From the day of the winter solstice until the Chinese New Year's Eve, Zhang Zhongjing worked tirelessly every day to give up medicine, and the ears of the people were basically healed, happily celebrating the New Year.
People are grateful for Zhang Zhongjing's kindness, since then, every winter solstice, every household imitates to do "Jiao'er", and in order to distinguish the prescription of "Jiao'er Soup", it was later renamed "Dumpling Ear", and then directly called "Dumpling". #SNOW 2022#
If there is any food that best represents China's food culture, I think it is dumplings, which are an indispensable dish on every family's table during the New Year's Festival.
Eating dumplings on the winter solstice is to commemorate the "medical saint" Zhang Zhongjing, a folk traditional custom that represents the gratitude of Chinese.
Eating dumplings on the morning of the first day of the Chinese New Year is for Tujili, taking the meaning of "more years of intercourse", the son represents "zi shi", and the harmonic sound of "dumplings" is expressed, expressing the meaning of festive reunion and auspicious wishes.
On the fifth day of the Chinese New Year, dumplings are also eaten, and it is said that on this day, Zhao Gongming, the god of wealth, came to the human world to find people with good virtue to give him fortune, and the dumplings resemble yuanbao, which means to attract wealth into treasure, and people welcome the arrival of the god of wealth in the form of dumplings.
