Jiaozi. The old Beijingers said, "beginning of winter fills the winter, not the mouth." Beginning of winter's rule is to eat jiaozi. There is a saying that "the north eats jiaozi and the south eats ducks". Because jiaozi looks like an ear, people think that if you eat it, your ear won't be frozen in winter. The so-called "beginning of winter runs amok for jiaozi Bowl, and nobody cares about frozen ears" is actually a joke, which is only popular among the people. According to the rules, beginning of winter will eat jiaozi stuffed with pumpkin on this day.

Instant-boiled mutton Beijingers love mutton beyond words. In the cold winter, instant-boiled mutton is obviously a wise choice, and its four functions teach people to "stop".
