In most areas of China, it is customary to count nine days from the winter solstice, and every nine days is a section, which is divided into 998 1 day. There is a folk song: 9999 doesn't make a move, 9949 walks on the ice, 9969 watches willows along the river, 999 opens a river, 999 swallows swallows, and 999 cultivates cattle everywhere.
This ballad vividly reflects the seasonal changes in different periods and also shows the wisdom of the working people in our country. March 9 is the day when the weather is cold and the heat accumulated on the ground is the least, so there is also a saying that "March 9 is cold". In the Yangtze River valley of China, there is even more: although it is cold, it has a unique and charming wintersweet landscape.
It is said that eating dog meat in winter solstice is more miraculous. As a traditional festival, winter solstice has been deeply rooted in people's hearts, and the tonic theory allows merchants to seize the days of this year and prepare to make a big profit. So the restaurant lost no time in launching a series of winter solstice nourishing recipes, such as mutton soup pot, Huajiang dog meat, mutton mixed hot pot, dog meat ribs and so on.
