Eating jiaozi, also known as "frozen ears", originated from a legend in the Han Dynasty. When Zhang Zhongjing was an official in Changsha, he retired to other places, which coincided with the snowy winter and the biting wind. Many people's ears are frozen and rotten, so they cook food for everyone. Everyone's ears are all better after eating. Later, every winter solstice, people imitated this way of eating, and later called it "jiaozi".
Wonton. Eating wonton on the winter solstice was first popular in the Southern Song Dynasty. According to legend, people in Zhao Gou, Song Gaozong love to eat the wonton cooked by the chef, because once the wonton is not cooked well, someone will send the chef to Dali Temple for punishment, but because only the chef can cook wonton, Zhao Gou pardoned him. Later, the method of making wonton spread to the people, and there were more and more varieties and patterns. Every household eats wonton on the Winter Solstice Festival, so there is a saying of "Winter Solstice Wonton Summer Solstice Noodles".
