2. Red bean glutinous rice
In the south of the Yangtze River, there is a custom that the whole family get together on beginning of winter night to eat red bean glutinous rice. It is said that there is a man named Gong Shi, whose son died on the winter solstice and became a plague ghost after his death, continuing to harm the people. However, this plague ghost is most afraid of red beans, so people cook red bean rice on the winter solstice to ward off the epidemic.
Meteorological changes in beginning of winter
In beginning of winter season, the sun has reached the longitude of 225 degrees, the sunshine time will continue to shorten, the height of the sun will continue to decrease at noon, and the amount of solar radiation obtained by the northern hemisphere will be less and less. However, due to the heat stored on the surface in the second half of this year, there is still some energy, and there is still "accumulated heat" on the surface, so it is usually not very cold in early winter, and the real cold is after the winter solstice.
Due to the large span between the north and the south of China, the climate between the north and the south is very different. For some areas in China, this climatic winter is obviously late. After beginning of winter, its climate changed from dry autumn to rainy and cold winter.
In the southern region, sunny, warm and comfortable "Xiaoyangchun" weather often occurs from the beginning of winter to the light snow. In the folk, there is a saying "Xiaoyangchun in October", as the saying goes, "It is warm in August and warm in September, and there is Xiaoyangchun in October". It is generally not very cold in the early winter season in the south. As time goes by, cold air frequently goes south after the winter solstice, and the temperature gradually drops.
