In most parts of northern China, it is a holiday custom to eat jiaozi on the solstice in winter. Eating jiaozi, also known as eating frozen ears, originated from a legend in the Han Dynasty. When Zhang Zhongjing was an official in Changsha, he retired to his hometown, which coincided with the snowy winter and the biting wind, and many people's ears were frozen. He was very sad, so he asked his disciples to set up a shed in Guandong, Nanyang. They cooked mutton, peppers and some herbs in a pot to drive away the cold, then picked them up and chopped them up, wrapped them in flour bags, made them look like ears, and then cooked them in a pot and distributed them to the people. After everyone eats it, their ears will be fine. Later, on the solstice of winter, people will imitate this practice and eat with their ears held. Later, they called it jiaozi.
