Winter solstice is one of the 24 solar terms. The most famous is eating jiaozi. On the solstice of winter, every family in the north will eat jiaozi. As southerners, we will also eat jiaozi on the solstice in winter, but perhaps not every household will eat jiaozi, but it is the same as eating jiaozi in the north. Families with time will eat jiaozi, while families without time will cook and eat jiaozi.

Our family eats more pork leek stuffing, pork mushroom stuffing, pork corn stuffing, pork shepherd's purse stuffing and so on. My grandmother is over 80 years old. Even if it is not the solstice of winter, she likes to eat jiaozi stuffed with pork and shepherd's purse.

Besides jiaozi, we also have soup on the solstice in winter, because it is very cold in winter, and it is already very cold within 5℃ in the south. After all, unlike every family in the north who has floor heating or kang, drinking hot soup can also keep the body temperature well. There are many kinds of soups to drink, such as lotus root ribs soup, radish ribs soup, yam ribs soup, mushroom chicken soup and so on. In particular, lotus root ribs soup is a major feature of Hubei, and the lotus root in Honghu Lake is famous all over the country, so we drink it on the solstice of winter.

Finally, I want to say that, after all, the winter solstice is a progressive festival. As long as it is nutritious, you can eat nourishing food in winter, such as beef and mutton, hot pot and so on.
