In our country, we usually eat jiaozi on festivals. There is a saying that jiaozi came from "the time of giving birth". New Year's Eve is to say goodbye to the old and welcome the new, and beginning of winter is the turn of autumn and winter. When jiaozi is in love, he can't help eating. ?
Traditionally, "beginning of winter" is the beginning of winter, "Spring comes and summer grows, autumn harvests and winter hides". Winter is the season to enjoy harvest and rest. Beginning of winter is one of the "four seasons and eight festivals" in ancient China. In some places in ancient China, sacrifices, banquets and other activities were held at the beginning of winter as important festivals to celebrate. ?

In some areas of southern China, it is always warm as spring during the winter solstice and the Light Snow Festival (equivalent to October of the lunar calendar), so that some fruit trees mistakenly think that spring has come and bloom for the second time. As the saying goes, "it's warm in August and warm in September, and it's sunny in October."
In the dead of winter, the so-called "March 9 cold" is usually when it is not too cold before the winter solstice. Starting from the winter solstice, every nine days counts as a "nine", the first nine days are called "one nine", the last nine days are called "two nine", and so on. The coldest period of the year is "three nine days".
From the beginning of the winter solstice solar term, it began to enter the "three or nine days." Strong cold air frequently goes south, the temperature drops suddenly and the weather is cold. Therefore, the solstice winter is really cold winter.
