Where is the birthplace of jiaozi?

The birthplace of Jiaozi is Dengzhou, Nanyang, Henan.

Jiaozi officially stepped onto the historical stage because of Zhang Zhongjing, the medical sage of Nieyang (now Dengzhou, Nanyang, Henan) in the Eastern Han Dynasty. During the Eastern Han Dynasty, jiaozi was accidentally invented by Zhang Zhongjing, originally intended not as food, but as medicine.

Legend has it that at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was a plague in the whole country and the weather was cold. Many people are infected with this disease, and their ears are frostbitten. In order to alleviate this symptom, Zhang Zhongjing kneaded the dough into a crumpled shape and added a lot of Chinese medicine to the pot. The name of this medicine is "Quhan Joule Decoction". The dough inside is called "Joule", and it is also hoped that the frostbitten ears will return to their original state.

Zhang Zhongjing has been playing pesticides until the Spring Festival. In order to appreciate kindness, people also imitate the dumplings, which are actually the embryonic form of jiaozi, but they are not trapped. Although jiaozi was not delicious at this time, it was only used for medical purposes, but it laid the foundation for later jiaozi.
