1. Sacrifice: beginning of winter is one of the "four seasons and eight festivals" in ancient society, and it is a very important festival. In some areas of China, there are customs such as ancestor worship, feasting and divination for the elderly, so as to fulfill the obligations and responsibilities of future generations and pray for a good year from God.

2. Eat jiaozi: In northern China, there is a custom of eating jiaozi in beginning of winter. In order to improve your early winter life, jiaozi is delicious, but not jiaozi. In the north, it is the custom to eat jiaozi in winter, because jiaozi looks like ears. People think that if you eat them, your ears won't catch a cold in winter. In addition, jiaozi's homonym "jiaozi" means that winter begins at the turn of autumn and winter.

3. Brewing yellow wine: It is a traditional Shaoxing wine-making custom to start brewing yellow wine in beginning of winter that day. The cold water and low temperature in winter can make wine form a good flavor in the process of low temperature and long-term fermentation, which is the most suitable season for wine fermentation. Therefore, Shaoxing people regard the next year's trip from beginning of winter to beginning of spring as the most suitable time to brew yellow rice wine, which is called "winter brewing" to pray for happiness.
