In winter, we usually eat fish hot pot and chicken hot pot on the solstice. As the saying goes, "fish are everywhere on the winter solstice, and fresh fish are cut into exquisite jade." A glass of hot wine will calm you down, which was still a fashion in the past. "

In Shunde, Foshan, there is also a folk custom of "sitting around a stove to spend the winter solstice", which is the customary name of Shunde people for eating hot pot. Grass carp that just came out of the water took back the meat and cut it into thin slices less than a millimeter, shaped like a butterfly with open wings. The fish fillets were scalded for only a few seconds, smooth and tender. In addition to fish, chicken is also the favorite ingredient of the edge furnace. Free-range chickens in rural areas have elastic and tough meat and mellow taste.

In addition, around the Old Winter Solstice, Guangzhou neighborhoods began to grind rice and glutinous rice into powder, dry them with bamboo poles and hide them for making Chinese New Year foods such as oil angle, fried dumplings and rice cakes. It is generally believed that the grinding powder at this time can be hidden for a long time without decay, which is called "drying winter powder" Every winter solstice, every household will prepare oranges (also called winter oranges) and radish cakes as gifts, which are not only seasonal foods, but also used to worship gods.
