The Origin of Eating Dumplings on Winter Solstice

It is said that eating dumplings during the Winter Solstice is related to Zhang Zhongjing, a famous medical scientist in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. According to legend, when Zhang Zhongjing returned to his hometown in his old age, it was a snowy winter. There were many people on the streets who were displaced by the war. They were hungry and cold, and many of them had their ears frozen. Zhang Zhongjing couldn't bear to see this situation, so he ordered people to set up a medical tent on the east side of Nanyang Pass. Ask the disciples to use mutton, chili peppers and some cold-relieving herbs as fillings, and then make them into dumplings. Give alms to the people. This meal of dumplings cured the frozen ears of many villagers. From then on, every winter solstice, everyone scrambles to eat dumplings. There is a saying that goes "Dumplings eaten on the winter solstice won’t freeze your ears."
