🥟Winter Solstice, with both natural and cultural connotations, is not only an important solar term among the 24 solar terms, but also a traditional Chinese folk festival.
🍖The winter Solstice is the beginning of the return of the sun, marking the rebirth of the sun and entering a new cycle of solar round-trip movement.
🍲Therefore, ancient people regarded the winter solstice as a “lucky day”, and the importance of the winter Solstice is no less than the beginning of Spring Festival.
🥢In southern China, there is the custom of offering sacrifices to ancestors and feasting on winter solstice. In northern China, it is customary to eat dumplings on the winter solstice every year.
