This custom has been passed down to commemorate Zhang Zhongjing, the medical saint of Henan Province, who gave medicine to the people on the winter solstice.According to legend, more than 1,800 years ago, the winters in Nanyang, Henan were cold and damp, and there was a shortage of clothing. Residents suffered from frostbite frequently, especially ear frostbite, which was even more serious. The medical saint Zhang Zhongjing invented dumplings. He chopped up leeks, fennel, ginger, mutton, chili peppers, etc., wrapped them in dough into the shape of ears, cooked them in a pot, added vinegar, rice wine, and chopped green onions to the soup, and ate the dumplings together with the soup. After eating it, people felt warm all over their body, their ears became hot, and their frostbite was cured. This kind of food was called "jiao bait", which later became dumplings. This kind of "sour soup dumplings" with soup is very popular in Henan, Shaanxi and other places. The reason why dumplings have been passed down for thousands of years is rooted in the wisdom formed by the Chinese nation in long-term life practice: balance of yin and yang, harmony of the five flavors, combination of coarse and fine, coordination of grains and vegetables, combination of hardness and softness, and tolerance of moderation. When you take a bite of dumplings, you are not only taking in nutrition, but also culture. |
