Southerners have the custom of eating red beans and glutinous rice on the winter solstice, which comes from folklore. It is said that in ancient times, there was a man named * * * Gong's family. This man had a son. This son ate fish and people every day, and he was so evil that he finally died on the winter solstice. Unexpectedly, he turned into an epidemic ghost and continued to harm the people. This epidemic ghost is most afraid of red beans and glutinous rice, so people eat red beans and glutinous rice on the winter solstice to avoid epidemic ghosts and prevent disasters. Later, many areas in the south will not only eat red bean glutinous rice on the winter solstice, but also wrap all kinds of meat with glutinous rice as sacrifices to their ancestors.
