Do you eat jiaozi or glutinous rice balls on the solstice of winter in Yunnan?

For Yunnan people, it is more common to eat glutinous rice balls on the solstice in winter.

People in Yunnan like to eat glutinous rice balls and bean noodles. The cooked jiaozi is covered with a layer of fragrant pea noodles, and the glutinous rice tastes good. In Yunnan, the first choice for eating glutinous rice balls from winter to Sunday is "Sixi glutinous rice balls" symbolizing "Fulu Xi Shou", and four dumplings are eaten from winter to Sunday, symbolizing "Fulu Xi Shou" respectively.

Eating Sixi Tangyuan is white and full of happiness, white and fat, and becomes soft and waxy after boiling. With a gentle bite, the sweet stuffing can't wait to flow out, which is sweet and delicious and warms the whole winter.

In addition to "Sixi Tangyuan", Yunnan's bean noodle dumplings are also very popular. Sprinkle delicate cooked bean flour on the cooked dumplings, which has both the rice flavor of glutinous rice and the dry flavor of bean flour. The taste is rich, delicate and sweet, which makes people drool.

The customs of winter solstice vary from country to country:

The winter solstice is a very important solar term in our traditional calendar. Originally formulated in the twenty-four solar terms, it is also a traditional festival, commonly known as the "Winter Festival". There is also a folk saying that the solstice in winter is as big as a year. The Chinese nation, a gourmet country, will never lose the word "eat" on holidays.

China is a vast country, and the food prepared from winter solstice varies from place to place. Therefore, "what to eat in winter solstice" has become a particularly ceremonial thing. Usually, jiaozi is eaten in the north and Tangyuan is eaten in the south.

However, due to many historical reasons and numerous ethnic minorities, Yunnan, which accounts for 4. 1 1% of the national area, actually contains cultural customs all over the country, among which the symbolic solar term "Winter Solstice Day" is the most significant.
