Actually, the tradition of eating dumplings during winter solstice has its origin in early times.
其實(shí)攻谁，冬至吃餃子的習(xí)俗由來(lái)已久。
It is said that dumplings were invented by Zhang Zhongjing, a well-known doctor from the Eastern-Han Dynasty. One winter, he saw that many people’s ears were frozen and it troubled him. When he went home, he asked his disciples to boil mutton, chilies and other ingredients with medicinal properties for fending off cold in a pot. After these were boiled, they ladled the mutton and other ingredients out of the pot, chopped them into pieces, and then wrapped them with dough skins in the shape of ears. Afterward, they put these into pots to boil again. On the day of the winter solstice, the people whose ears were frozen were sent to eat the dumplings. Zhang Zhongjing called it “cold dispelling dumpling soup”. People who ate it felt warm from head to toe. Their ears heated up, healing ailments caused by the cold.
傳說(shuō)弯予，餃子是東漢名醫(yī)張仲景發(fā)明的戚宦。有一年冬天，他看到很多人耳朵凍爛了锈嫩，心里很難受受楼。回家后呼寸，張仲景讓他的弟子用羊肉艳汽、辣椒和一些驅(qū)寒藥放在鍋里煮。等煮好后等舔，把羊肉骚灸、藥物撈出來(lái)切碎，用面皮包成一只只耳朵形狀慌植，再放在鍋里煮甚牲，冬至那天，專(zhuān)門(mén)送給凍傷的人吃蝶柿。張仲景把這種治傷的藥叫“祛寒?huà)啥鷾闭筛疲赃^(guò)的人只覺(jué)得渾身發(fā)暖，兩耳生熱交汤，耳朵上的凍傷都好了雏赦。
Thereafter, every winter solstice Zhang Zhongjing made “cold dispelling dumpling soup” in order to prevent and cure ailments caused by the cold. . Then there became a saying that if you eat dumplings during the winter solstice, then you won’t freeze your ears off. Afterwards, Zhang Zhongjing died on the day of winter solstice. In order to honor his memory, every year on the day of the winter solstice every household makes dumplings. Who would have thought that this medicinal cuisine, created by Zhang Zhongjing---the medical sage and handed down to us till today, would become gourmet food on holidays!
以后，每到冬至張仲景都做“祛寒?huà)啥鷾避皆徒o大家吃星岗，預(yù)防和治療凍傷。此后就有了一個(gè)說(shuō)法：冬至吃了餃子戒洼，耳朵就不會(huì)凍掉了俏橘。后來(lái)，張仲景在冬至那天去世圈浇。人們?yōu)榱思o(jì)念他寥掐，每年冬至家家戶戶包餃子吃。沒(méi)想到醫(yī)圣張仲景的這一道藥膳流傳到了今天磷蜀，竟成為我們節(jié)日餐桌上的一道美食召耘。
