Simple word: jiaozi

There is a folk saying that goes like this:

In fact, we in China are the most particular, because this is a culture passed down from generation to generation, which implies the expectation and wish of peace, auspiciousness, happiness and health in the coming year.

jiaozi is small, but its culture and connotation are profound.

Since it has a history of 2,6 years, jiaozi contains Gan Kun, which embodies people's psychology of happiness, peace, auspiciousness and hope in the coming year. It is a symbol of the richness and harvest of the new year. It is completely integrated with the traditional culture of China, and it has also cast the soul of the descendants of the Chinese nation and penetrated into everyone's life.

Of course, jiaozi is also delicious. There are countless kinds of food, including Chinese cabbage stuffing, leek stuffing, celery stuffing and so on.

each kind of dumpling stuffing has different meanings, which are generally people's beautiful yearning and appeal for life.

Today is the winter solstice. Let's have a jiaozi with our family!

I wish you all good health and all the best!

The winter solstice on the tip of the tongue is not only jiaozi's

"Winter solstice wonton and summer solstice noodles", but the most typical food on the winter solstice festival is wonton. Zhou Mi of the Song Dynasty mentioned in Volume III of Old Wulin that the ancestors were worshipped with wonton on the winter solstice: "When you enjoy the ancestors, you will use wonton, and there is a saying,' Winter wonton, new year's delicious noodles' ... Your family is curious, and every device has more than ten colors, which is called' Baiwei wonton'".

the ancients believed that eating wonton on the winter solstice day when the yang was first born could support the growth of the yang. In the Qing Dynasty, Fu Chadun's book "The Story of Yanjing Years" holds that the shape of wonton is "like a chicken egg, quite like the chaos of heaven and earth, so it is eaten on the winter solstice."

There are different styles in a hundred miles, and different customs in a thousand miles. It is a custom to eat red bean porridge on the winter solstice in Jingchu area in the Southern Dynasty. The Record of Jingchu's Age records: "* * * Gong's son has a talent, who died on the winter solstice as a plague and feared red beans, so he made red bean porridge on the winter solstice to avoid it."

Jiangnan local people like to eat glutinous rice balls on the winter solstice. In Qing Dynasty, Gu Lu wrote in Qing Jia Lu? It is recorded in Volume 11 that "Bihu is ground into a ball filled with sugar, meat, buds, fruits, cowpea paste and shredded radish", which is called "Winter Solstice Ball". The ancients had a poem saying: "Every family beats rice to make glutinous rice balls, knowing that it is the winter solstice of the Ming Dynasty."

In Sichuan, more pigs are killed, bacon and sausages are made on the winter solstice. In the 12th year of Guangxu reign in Qing Dynasty (1886), the Annals of Adding Irrigation Counties was compiled to talk about the winter solstice: "In the countryside, more pigs and salt were slaughtered every day, and they were taken out and smoked for more than ten days, which was called' bacon'."

In our place, we usually eat jiaozi

jiaozi on the day before the winter solstice, and it's usually the jiaozi flavor of our own bread.

Before today, I didn't know there was such a saying, "The winter solstice is improper, the jiaozi bowl is frozen, and no one cares." My girlfriend sent it to me this morning, and I didn't even know what it meant.

Then I saw what the following reply said, and I realized that there was still such a rumor.

laugh yourself to death. Everyone will eat jiaozi tonight.

I wish everyone peace and health.

"Winter Solstice Mutton and Summer Solstice Dog", around the winter solstice, we Hakkas all like to eat mutton. The mutton wine, which is made of Hakka goat as the main material, supplemented with nourishing Chinese herbal medicines such as Radix Codonopsis, Fructus Lycii, Fructus Jujubae, Radix Astragali and Radix Rehmanniae, and Hakka Niang wine, is a delicacy of Hakka people in the winter solstice season.

Hakka people believe that mutton has the effect of warming the stomach, and there is a popular saying that "it is the best time to tonify the body when the mutton is fragrant in the winter festival".

The ultimate answer to what to eat on the winter solstice
