On the custom of solar terms in beginning of winter.

1, eat jiaozi. Beginning of winter solar terms mean autumn harvest and winter storage. China used to be a farming society. People who have worked for a year should take advantage of beginning of winter to have a rest and reward their families for their hard work over the past year. There is a proverb that "beginning of winter fills the winter and the mouth" is the best metaphor. In southern China, people like to eat some chicken, duck and fish in early winter. On this day in early winter in Taiwan Province Province, street restaurants such as "Mutton Stove" and "Ginger Duck" complement winter weddings. Many families will also stew sesame oil chicken and siwu chicken to supplement energy. People in northern China, especially those in Beijing and Tianjin, like to eat jiaozi. Why does beginning of winter eat jiaozi? Because intercourse comes from the saying of "sexual intercourse time". 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. Nowadays, people have gradually restored this ancient custom. At the beginning of winter, all kinds of jiaozi are very popular.

2. Winter swimming. Interestingly, the way to celebrate beginning of winter is also innovative. During their stay in Harbin and beginning of winter, the athletes of Heilongjiang Winter Swimming Association crossed the Songhua River to welcome the arrival of winter in this way.

3. Make up for winter. When people are still enjoying the warm sunshine in autumn, the time has come soon 1 1, and winter has begun. Beginning of winter, as the first solar term in winter, comes around 1 1.8 every year. When beginning of winter solar term comes, flowers and trees wither, insects lurk, and the activities of all things tend to stop. They hibernate to save energy and prepare for the coming spring. Although there is no such thing as hibernation, there is a folk custom of making up for winter in beginning of winter. In this best period of tonic, people make food supplements to supplement their physical strength and resist the cold in winter. On this day, people in the north and south make delicious food and game in different ways, so that in the cold winter, people can resist the cold invasion.
