Collection of Winter Solstice Drawing Pictures 24 Solstice Winter Solstice Simple Drawing Pictures Good-looking Pictures About Winter Solstice 1 The custom of eating dumplings dates back to the Eastern Han Dynasty. According to legend, Nanyang Medical Saint Zhang Zhongjing was originally a medical officer, and it was a snowy winter when he retired and returned home.
He saw that the folks in Nanyang were suffering from cold and hunger, and many people's ears were rotten by the cold.
So he asked his disciples to set up a medical tent in Guandong, Nanyang, put mutton, chili peppers and some anti-cold medicinal materials in a pot and cook them, take them out and chop them into pieces, wrap them with dough and shape them into ears, and then put them in the pot and cook them.
Make "cold-repelling ear-correcting soup" and give it to the villagers.
After the villagers took the medicine, their rotten ears were cured.
Later, every winter solstice, people would imitate this kind of "pinching frozen ears" to eat, saying that eating dumplings during the winter solstice would not freeze anyone.
There is still a folk saying in Nanyang that "if you don't bring dumpling bowls during the winter solstice, your ears will freeze off and no one will care".
Story about Winter Solstice 2 According to legend, during the reign of Emperor Wu of Liang Dynasty in the Six Dynasties, Nanjing’s old name was still Jiankang City.
One day, an old man presented tree seeds to Emperor Liang, saying that the tree seeds were collected from the deep valleys in southern Xinjiang and had gathered the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. If they were taken care of carefully, they would surely bless Liang.
Emperor Liang looked at it and said, "It's just a cypress tree." He didn't believe it, so he planted it in the palace garden.
Within two or three years, even though no one was taking care of it, the trees still took root and sprouted lushly.
A few years later, the spiritual energy condensed and he was born into a tree spirit.
Emperor Liang believed in Buddhism, built temples extensively, wasted people and money, ignored state affairs, and devoted himself to becoming a monk, which caused widespread mourning among the people.
Emperor Liang himself did not eat meat, and he did not allow the people to eat meat, nor did he allow the people to offer meat as sacrifices.
The gods were displeased when they saw that all the tributes were vegetarian, and reported to the Jade Emperor that they were disrespecting the gods. The Jade Emperor was also displeased when he heard this, so he sent Jiankang to a severe drought for three years as punishment.
The tree spirit couldn't bear to see the people suffer, so on the winter solstice, it transformed into a girl named Jiao, and taught the people to secretly use dough skins as clothes, wrap them in meat, shape them into various shapes, and make food and sacrifices.
Jiankang City prayed for rain.
The Jade Emperor was grateful for his sacrifice and restored peace and prosperity to Jiankang City.
For a time, it was widely sung among the people and worshiped as a god.
Emperor Liang heard about her magical power and saw her beauty, so he wanted to take her as his concubine and use her magical power to rule the world.
Jiao didn't want to, and Emperor Liang was angry, so he killed her, not wanting others to gain her.
After Jiao's death, the Jade Emperor was unjust and set up Hou Jing to rebel and starve Emperor Liang to death in Taicheng. He also appointed Jiao as an immortal to be in charge of grains for the people.
The cypress tree attached to Jiao Zhen's body has also protected Jiankang City for more than a thousand years and has not been damaged by wars and wars.
Passed down to the present day, it is called Liuchaosong.
The people thanked her and named the food she invented dumplings, eating them on the winter solstice when she was born, and worshiping their gods and ancestors on the winter solstice to show respect.
Story about the Winter Solstice 3 In the Huaichuan area, there is a legend about eating dumplings during the Winter Solstice.
In ancient times, Nuwa kneaded soil from Shennong Mountain to create humans.
In winter, it was freezing cold, and the ears of the clay figurines that Nuwa made were frozen off. Nuwa was very worried.
So, Nuwa used needle and thread to sew the clay figurine's ears back on one by one.
One day, Nuwa sewed up the ear of a clay figurine, let the clay figurine bite the remaining thread, and turned around to find scissors.
When she returned to the clay figure with the scissors, a good idea suddenly came to her mind.
She used a thread to tie the ear of the clay figurine, and let the clay figurine bite the other end tightly in its mouth, so that the ears of the clay figurine would not freeze off.
Later, on the day of the winter solstice, people would tie one end of the ear with a thread and bite the other end in their mouth to avoid losing their ears due to cold.
Over time, biting threads turned into eating dumplings, because dumplings resemble the shape of ears.
The custom of eating dumplings during the Winter Solstice spread in the Huaichuan area and continues to this day.
