Why does beginning of winter eat jiaozi?

"jiaozi" stands for "the time to have children", and beginning of winter is at the turn of autumn and winter, so it has left the custom of eating jiaozi.

Eating jiaozi, adding new clothes, family reunion ... On the first day of winter, all the welcoming ceremonies not only represent the serious attitude of "living well", but also add "little luck" to life.

Another reason is that China attaches great importance to the 24 solar terms based on agriculture, and "festival" is a new growth point of vegetation. Autumn harvest and winter storage, eating jiaozi at this time is also a way to celebrate the improvement of life.

There is a saying, "beginning of winter's solar terms are improper in the jiaozi bowl, and no one cares if you freeze your ears."

Because jiaozi looks like ears, people think that if you eat jiaozi, your ears will not freeze in winter.

In ancient times, people used to regard beginning of winter as the beginning of winter. For example, the twenty-four solar terms say that "the foundation is also necessary."

"Winter goes and spring comes, and everything is harvested" means that the crops in autumn are all harvested, and the animals are hiding and hibernating.

Beginning of winter not only represents the arrival of winter, but also reminds people to store food and avoid cold.
