Entering the solar terms in beginning of winter, there is a folk saying that "beginning of winter radish competes with ginseng soup, and doctors don't have to prescribe it", and white radish has a certain effect of moistening lung and relieving cough. White radish is rich in vitamins and minerals such as phosphorus and iron. White radish promotes digestion when eaten raw, and supplements qi when cooked. Stewed pork ribs and white radish are delicious, neither oily nor greasy, and the soup color is neither thick nor heavy. Because radish contains more fiber and is rich in water, it also has the effect of health care and beauty.
China has always enjoyed various solar terms with delicacies, which are different in different parts of the country. For example, in the north, people like to eat jiaozi, jiaozi with sauerkraut, jiaozi with mushrooms, jiaozi with Spanish mackerel, jiaozi with garlic, jiaozi with donkey meat, and jiaozi with three delicacies. The old man in the northeast said that if they don't eat dumplings at the beginning of winter, they will freeze their ears in winter, and I don't know whether it is true or not. Anyway, I like to eat all dumplings.
