During the winter solstice, Jiangxi people eat hot tofu, mochi fruits, pumpkin paste, native chicken soup, etc., and also marinate meat and make wine.

Hot tofu: Nanchang people will eat a bowl of hot tofu on the winter solstice. It not only warms the body, but also means that the coming year will be hot and prosperous.

A folk proverb goes like this, "If you want to be rich, bake tofu with scallions the night before the winter solstice." This also reflects the people's yearning for a wealthy life, so this custom remains to this day.

Mochi fruit: The winter solstice in Shangrao is particularly lively. In addition to sweeping graves in rural areas, people also hunt mochi fruits.

Mochi is a snack in southern Fujian and a specialty of Jiangxi. It resists hunger after eating, has a smooth and sweet texture, and is sweet and delicious.

Pickled meat and wine: Old Nanchang people often say that "it's good to pickle meat and bones during the Winter Solstice", so after the Winter Solstice, they begin to use glutinous rice to steam wine, moldy tofu, slaughtered pork, etc. to prepare for the New Year.

In addition, Shangrao people also pickle fish and stuff sausages on the winter solstice.

Pumpkin paste: Jingdezhen people will eat a bowl of hot pumpkin paste during the winter solstice. The pumpkin paste is soft, glutinous and sweet, warming the body and stomach.

Local chicken soup: There is a folk saying in Xinyu that children should be stewed with local chicken soup during the Winter Solstice to nourish their health.

As the saying goes, "Three-nine nourishes a winter, and there will be no pain in the coming year." Local chicken soup is rich in nutrients, the meat is tender, and the flavor is mellow.
