What does the solstice mean in winter?

Eating jiaozi on the solstice in winter means that the financial resources are rolling; Eating jiaozi on the solstice in winter means reunion; Eating rice cakes on the solstice of winter means getting taller every year.

Rice cakes are homophonic with "getting taller every year". The significance of having children at home is getting higher every year, and the significance of doing business is getting better every year. Rice cakes are made of glutinous rice, and Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Anhui regions have their own tradition of making rice cakes. Beat the cooked glutinous rice hundreds of times and thousands of times with a wooden hammer in the old traditional way, and finally beat the rice cake into a particularly strong and elastic state.

Tangyuan symbolizes a happy reunion, and there is also a folk saying that "Tangyuan is one year older". Tangyuan is also made of glutinous rice flour, which is as sweet and salty as rice cakes. Jiaozi in Suzhou is mostly salty, while Guangdong is sweet, including black sesame, milk yellow, brown sugar, red bean paste and so on. There are more than a dozen ready-made jiaozi in the supermarket.
