立刻就到大年三十啦，你家有吃餃子的風俗嗎？春節吃餃子是中國北方延續已久的傳統年俗。

關于餃子的由來傳聞海量，其中一種說法是餃子來自于東漢時期，為醫圣張仲景首創。當時餃子是醫用，張仲景用面皮包上一些祛寒的藥材用來治病（羊肉、胡椒等），防止患者耳朵上生凍瘡。

Zhang noticed that many peoples ears were frostbitten when he returned to his hometown one winter. He decided1 to wrap mutton, chilli and some warming medicinal herbs in dough2 skin. Folding them into the shape of an ear, he boiled them in water before giving them to the poor.

有一年冬季，張仲景回鄉時發現不少人的耳朵都凍傷了。他決定用面皮包上羊肉、胡椒和一些溫補的草藥，把它們折成耳朵的形狀，在水里煮熟，然后送給沒錢人。

This food was originally called Jiaoer for its shape, and later the name slowly became Jiaozi.

剛開始因其形似耳朵而被叫做嬌耳，后來慢慢變成了餃子。

現在，餃子已經成為北方人餐桌上必不可少的美食，是家和溫暖的象征。餃子形如元寶，新春佳節吃餃子，含義著聚財進寶。不同餡料的餃子有不一樣的含義，寄托了大家對新一年的美好期盼。
