1, eat jiaozi
In many places in the north, beginning of winter has the custom of eating jiaozi. It is generally believed that jiaozi is a homonym of "jiaozi", so when the four seasons are handed over and the old year is handed over, there is often a custom of eating jiaozi. In addition, the northern region also believes that because jiaozi looks like ears, people think that if they eat jiaozi, their ears will not be frozen in winter.

In beginning of winter, there is a folk saying that "beginning of winter fills the winter and fills the mouth". Except jiaozi, many people like to nourish themselves with high-calorie food. For example, in Fujian, beginning of winter used Chinese herbal medicines such as dog meat, mutton and pork chops to stew meat that day; In Zhejiang, beginning of winter is called "nourishing winter" in some places, and beginning of winter will kill chickens or ducks for his family to stew on this day. In Taiwan Province Province and early winter, local people like to eat mutton and ginger duck for nourishment.

Step 4 store vegetables
When I was in beginning of winter, there was a custom of "storing vegetables" in northern China. In early years, there were few varieties of vegetables in winter, so we stored some vegetables around beginning of winter for winter.

5. Brewing in winter
In Shaoxing and other places, the custom in beginning of winter is to brew yellow rice wine. Shaoxing yellow rice wine was brewed on this day in beginning of winter. Because after winter, the lake sediments sink, the water body is clear, and the temperature drops, which can not only effectively inhibit the reproduction of miscellaneous bacteria and ensure the smooth progress of fermentation, but also make the wine ferment at low temperature for a long time to form a good flavor. From beginning of winter to beginning of spring, about 120 days is the most suitable time to brew yellow rice wine, which is called "winter brewing" by local people.
