1 Why do you eat jiaozi on the winter solstice? It is in memory of Zhang Zhongjing, a "medical saint". Zhang Zhongjing, a native of Xi 'e, Nanyang, wrote Treatise on Febrile Diseases, which is a masterpiece of doctors. "Quhan Jiaoer Decoction" has been regarded as a classic for dispelling cold by doctors in past dynasties. He was the prefect of Changsha in the Eastern Han Dynasty. Returning home once is winter. He saw the market on the shore of Baihe River. Most of the villagers were sallow and emaciated, and many people's ears were frozen. Unable to bear it, he put the mutton and some cold-expelling herbs in a pot and boiled them, then fished them out and chopped them up, and wrapped them into ear-like "charming ears". After cooking, give each person who comes to ask for medicine two "jiao Er" and a big bowl of broth. Later generations learned to package food like Jiao Er, which is also called "jiaozi" or "flat food". "Quhan Jiaoer Decoction" came from this. Up to now, there is still a folk song in Nanyang, which says, "The winter solstice misbehaves the jiaozi bowl, and nobody cares if you freeze your ears.".

Many people use this night to make a "winter solstice circle" with glutinous rice flour. In order to distinguish it from the "resignation" on the eve of the Spring Festival, the day before the winter festival is called "adding years" or "sub-years", which means that the "year" is not over yet, but everyone has grown one year. Although the customs and people's feelings in different parts of our country are different, they are roughly the same. When making the winter solstice circle, children often pinch some small animals, such as kittens, puppies, rabbits, tigers and so on. The children are very happy at this time. Before eating the Winter Solstice Round, a Winter Solstice Round should be pasted on the back of the bed lamp of doors and windows, tables and cabinets, which is called "wasting the day", and the food can only be baked after "sending the stove". If there is a pregnant woman at home at this time, the winter solstice will be round, and a boy will be born, otherwise a girl will be born. When eating the winter solstice, the entrances must be paired for good luck. There are only two tablets left in the end, and the married people will be all the best, and the single unmarried people will be all the best. In the evening, some families worship their ancestors with seasonal fruits and three animals. There are also people who "bask in winter rice" on this day, that is, they wash the white rice with water, expose it to the sun on this day and collect it for the sick people to cook porridge in the future.
