But the custom of making jiaozi a special dish during the Spring Festival, or the Chinese Lunar New Year, started in the Ming Dynasty, some 500 to 600 years ago. The reason is simple. The<span class="IL_AD" style="background-attachment: scroll !important; background-clip: initial !important; background-color: transparent !important; background-image: none !important; background-origin: initial !important; background-position: 0% 50%; background-repeat: repeat repeat !important; border-bottom-color: #009900 !important; border-bottom-style: solid !important; border-bottom-width: 1px !important; color: #009900 !important; cursor: pointer !important; display: inline !important; float: none !important; font-family: Verdana,Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif !important; font-size: 14px !important; font-style: normal !important; font-weight: normal !important; line-height: normal; padding-bottom: 1px !important; padding-left: 0px !important; padding-right: 0px !important; padding-top: 0px !important; position: static; text-decoration: underline !important; word-wrap: break-word;">appearance of jiaozi looks like the V-shape （some say half-moon shaped）gold or silver ingot used as money in ancient China. As the Spring Festival marks the start of a new year, people choose to eat jiaozi to connote their wishes for good fortune in the new year. Although time has changed, the tradition has remained. But today, jiaozi is considered more as a sign of blessing than of fortune.
