Our country is vast in territory and abundant in natural resources, and the dietary customs in different places are different. In addition, the tastes of each family are also different. It's up to you to eat well on the winter solstice.

I am from the south, and I personally like to eat food made of glutinous rice, so my family will eat glutinous rice balls.

In Changsha, Zhuzhou and other places in Hunan, eight-treasure glutinous rice is eaten on the winter solstice. Longan meat, red dates, medlar, walnut kernel, rock sugar, etc. are mixed with glutinous rice and steamed. In addition to steaming, boiling and other cooking methods, the glutinous rice that Changsha people eat every day is also fried with lard, and then steamed with red dates and lotus seeds.

Old Hangzhou people like to eat rice cakes on the winter solstice to celebrate, and they should eat three meals a day. Eat rice cakes dipped in white sugar sesame powder for breakfast, stir-fried rice cakes with shredded pork for lunch, and rice cakes with mustard, shredded bamboo shoots soup and shredded pork for dinner. "Cake" and "Gao" are homonyms, and eating rice cakes on the winter solstice means "high every year" for good luck.
