In Guangdong, sugar cane, fried rice and mutton are eaten at the beginning of winter.

Winter is cold and disease-prone, and it is also a time when people’s body resistance is weak, so they naturally need to supplement nutrition. Therefore, the ancients had the custom of "making up for the winter in winter".

The Beginning of Winter is the nineteenth of the twenty-four solar terms and also the beginning of winter. The beginning of winter means that vitality begins to stagnate and everything enters a state of rest and storage. Its climate also transitions from less rainy and dry in autumn to rainy and cold winter.
