Wontons are like dumplings, only smaller. They are a kind of traditional food from northern China. It is said that during the Han Dynasty, the Xiongnu, an ancient tribe in northern China, had conflicts (冲突) with local people on the border (边界). Hunshi and Tunshi were the two leaders (领导) of the Xiongnu. So people began to call their food "huntun" and wish for the end of the conflicts.
In different parts of China, a wonton has different names. In the north, it is called "huntun". In Guangdong, it is called "yuntun". People in Sichuan call it "chaoshou", while in the southeastern province of Fujian, it is called "bianshi".
