Beginning of winter has the custom of eating jiaozi. Beginning of winter, wrapped in jiaozi, tastes different from Chinese cabbage, but also dipped in vinegar and rotten garlic to eat, just don't have a taste. Why does beginning of winter eat jiaozi? Because our country is based on agriculture and attaches great importance to the 24 solar terms, "Festival" is a new growth point of vegetation. Autumn harvest and winter storage, this day, in order to improve our life, we chose "delicious but jiaozi". Therefore, there is a saying in the Book of Rites that "eating melons is also the first sacrifice". On the solstice of winter, there was a custom of "Winter Solstice Festival" in ancient China.
After beginning of winter, it means that winter is officially coming. Vegetation withers, stingers sleep, and all activities tend to stop. Although there is no such thing as hibernation, there is a custom in China that beginning of winter makes up for winter. In cold weather, you should eat more warm and nutritious food, which can not only make your body stronger, but also play a good role in keeping out the cold.
