In winter, it's cold in winter,

Unconsciously, the winter solstice is coming.

Eat mutton, eat dumplings,

Merry Christmas by SMS.

Sing, dance,

Look forward to the new year with joy.

Good friends, remember more,

May you smile sweetly in winter.

The source of eating mutton on the winter solstice:

The custom of eating mutton on the winter solstice is said to have started from the Han Dynasty.

According to legend, Liu Bang, the Emperor Gaozu, ate mutton cooked by Fan Kuai on the winter solstice, which made him feel particularly delicious and full of praise.

Since then, the custom of eating mutton on the winter solstice has been formed among the people.

On the winter solstice, people eat mutton and various nourishing foods one after another, in order to have a good omen for the coming year.

Now in Tengzhou, Shandong Province, this day is called Fujiu. Before the festival, gifts such as mutton will be given to elders, and everyone in Fujiu will drink mutton soup, which is a good sign for individuals, elders and families.
