關於餃子的起源傳說眾多，其中一種說法是餃子源於東漢時期，為醫聖張仲景首創。當時餃子是藥用，張仲景用麵皮包上一些祛寒的藥材用來治病（羊肉、胡椒等），避免病人耳朵上生凍瘡。

有一年冬天，張仲景回鄉時發現很多人的耳朵都凍傷了。他決定用麵皮包上羊肉、胡椒和一些溫補的草藥，把它們折成耳朵的形狀，在水裏煮熟，然後送給窮人。

最初因其形似耳朵而被稱為“嬌耳”，後來慢慢變成了餃子。

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

This food was originally called "Jiao'er" for its shape, and later the name slowly became Jiaozi.

不同餡料的餃子有不同的含義，寄托了人們對新一年的美好期盼。

Celery stuffing represents industriousness and (resulting) wealth. 芹菜(Celery) sounds like 'industrious wealth' (勤財). 芹菜餡代表著勤勞和財富，因為芹菜聽起來像“勤財”。

Leek stuffing represents long-term wealth. 'Leek' (韭菜) sounds like 'industrious wealth' (久財). 韭菜餡代表富貴永久，因為韭菜聽起來像“久財”。

Cabbage stuffing represents the blessing for a well-off life for a hundred years. 白菜(Cabbage) sounds like 'hundred wealth' (百財). 白菜餡代表了生活幸福長久的祝福。白菜聽起來像“百財”。

Fish stuffing means surplus wealth. Reason: 'Fish' (魚) sounds the same as 'surplus' (餘). Eating fish dumplings means wishing you have a lot of remaining money. 魚肉餡的餃子意味著財富盈餘。因為魚與“餘”同音。吃魚肉餃子意味著財富多多的祝福。
