24 solar terms, beginning of winter, 24 solar terms and beginning of winter.

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.

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.
