my country's food culture has a long history and profound heritage. Nowadays, Chinese people can be said to be spread all over the world. Wherever China is around, most people like to eat dumplings.
Dumplings convey the origin, history and bright culture of the famous Chinese nation. A small dumpling connects the entire world.
The earliest name of dumplings in history was "Jiaoer". This popular food was first invented by medical saint Zhang Zhongjing.
In the Tang Dynasty, dumplings became almost the same as today's dumplings, and they were taken out and eaten individually on a plate. In the Tang Dynasty, dumplings were called "Laolawan", dumplings were called "Tangzhong Laolawan", and steamed dumplings were called "Longshang Laolawan".
This name was used about before the Song Dynasty. After the Song Dynasty, the names were quite messy, and they were also called "Fenjiao","Bian Shi","Shuijiao","Dumplings","Water Snacks","Boiled Potatoes", etc.
Collectively called "dumplings", it was probably in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China. My hometown calls dumplings "guzhe", but I don't know how to write Chinese characters, hehe.
Spanish mackerel dumplings are a specialty of Jiaodong, and this specialty pasta is available in hotels.
As the saying goes, it is more comfortable than upside down, and more delicious than dumplings, and it is Spanish mackerel dumplings from our hometown!
