Does North Korea also celebrate the winter solstice?

Last weekend, the solstice winter just passed. As we all know, winter solstice, also known as short solstice, winter festival and Asian New Year, is not only an important solar term among the 24 solar terms, but also a traditional folk festival in China. In China, during the winter solstice, there are still some cultural differences between the north and the south. Generally speaking, northerners will eat hot jiaozi on the solstice in winter, while southerners will say that "eating a bowl of glutinous rice balls will make you one year older". China's culture has a long history and will have a great influence on Southeast Asian countries. For example, Koreans who are going to talk about today also celebrate the winter solstice, but there are still some differences. Let's take a look at what Koreans eat on the winter solstice:

South Korea usually eats red bean porridge on the solstice in winter.

In the traditional sense of Korea, red bean porridge is invisible, usually presented as sticky, with japonica rice, unsinkable glutinous rice dumplings and various pickles. It is said that the number of zongzi should be put according to the age of the children.
