The story of Li Shimin.

Emperor Taizong Li Shimin (AD 599? AD 649), who reigned for 23 years, made great contributions to promoting national unity and was a great national hero! During his reign, he enjoyed national security, social stability, economic development and prosperity, and strong military strength. He was the second emperor of the Tang Dynasty, a great strategist, an outstanding politician, a famous theorist, calligrapher and poet in the history of China, and one of the most successful emperors in China.

According to legend, in 629 AD, Zhenguan lasted for three years. Li Shimin has been in power for the third year. He is prepared for danger in times of peace, employs talented people and cherishes talented people. He carried out the policy of paying heavy taxes lightly and relaxing punishment, and carried out a series of political and military reforms, which finally contributed to social stability and production development. After three years of governance, the economy of the Tang Dynasty developed and prospered, and the country was rich and the people were safe. One day, Li Shimin, Emperor Taizong, wrote a letter after attending the early dynasty, and saw that it was time for dinner. The manager is puzzled because Li Shimin likes meat on weekdays, but recently, somehow, he has no appetite and doesn't eat much, which worries the chef. According to Li Shimin's hobby of eating meatballs and being afraid of greasy, the chef added vegetables to the meat and carefully mixed them with various seasonings. As a result, frying, steaming and boiling can't be formed. It's hard for the chef to think hard and don't know what to do. There was a little chef in the north who suddenly remembered to eat dough in his hometown, so he had a brainwave, wrapped the mixed stuffing in a dough bag, kneaded it into a crescent shape, cooked it with water and served it to Emperor Taizong. Emperor Taizong read it and asked what it was. The chef replied: meatballs with leather bags are stronger, called? Prison pills? Emperor Taizong tasted one and it was delicious. It tastes good, but it's not greasy. Unexpectedly, Emperor Taizong was so happy that he even said? This is good! This is good! ? And after that? Prison pills? It became a symbolic food for major festivals in the Tang Dynasty.

1972, archaeologists found more than a dozen pieces of a wooden bowl buried with Astana Tang in Turpan, Xinjiang? Shaped like a crescent moon? Food was identified as Tang Dynasty by archaeologists? Prison pills? Like jiaozi today. It can be seen that as early as 1300 years ago, the courtship of the Tang Dynasty had spread to ethnic minority areas in the western regions. From the perspective of social culture and family culture, jiaozi symbolizes reunion, unity, peace, affection and friendship. Chinese culture has a * * * ancestor, Xuanyuan, and a * * *? Food? That's jiaozi. Perhaps because of this, Li Shimin, Emperor Taizong, became a generation of sages, with the following characteristics: magnanimous, good at employing people, knowing people's hearts, believing in people's virtues, employing talents and treating people with courtesy, thus creating the most prosperous economy and powerful national strength in our history. Zhenguan political achievements? It will last forever.
