What is the custom of eating jiaozi on the solstice in winter?
According to legend, Zhang Zhongjing, a doctor in Nanyang, was originally a medical officer, and it was a snowy winter when he retired in his later years. He saw that the villagers in Nanyang were hungry and cold, and many people's ears were frozen. So he asked his disciples to set up a medicine shed in Guandong, Nanyang. They cooked mutton, peppers and some herbs for removing cold in a pot, fished them out and chopped them, kneaded them into ears with leather bags, and then put them down to cook them in a pot to make a soup for removing cold and correcting ears for the villagers to eat. After the villagers had eaten, their frozen ears were cured. Later, on the solstice in winter, people imitated this way of eating by pinching their ears, saying that eating jiaozi on the solstice in winter would not freeze people.
Winter solstice, also known as solstice, winter festival, child year, etc. It has both natural and humanistic connotations. It is not only an important solar term among the 24 solar terms, but also a traditional folk ancestor worship festival in China. The solstice in winter is one of the eight festivals in four seasons, and it is considered as a big holiday in winter. In ancient times, there was a saying that the winter solstice was as big as a year. The custom of winter solstice varies in content or details due to different regions. In southern China, there are customs of offering sacrifices to ancestors and enjoying the winter solstice. In northern China, it is a custom to eat jiaozi from winter to Sunday every year.
