What is the custom of winter solstice?

1, make dumplings. In our south, we will go back to our hometown to make dumplings on the eve of the winter solstice. Tangyuan is a fine science, and it is more important to pay attention to skills, fluency and exquisiteness. "Tangyuan, Tangyuan, round and round", isn't this the connotation of Tangyuan? In my eyes, jiaozi is a good "plasticine". (Pinch an animal) This year, I went home happily, stepping on the breath of Leng Yue. After eating one feast after another, the highlight "Tangyuan" finally appeared. A "flour mountain" and a basin of clear water. I watched adults put water into glutinous rice flour, knead it and get together. Watching, my hands itch unconsciously, and I can't wait to try my hand. Recalling the scene of rubbing jiaozi with my cousin last year, it is really hard to forget: at that time, we were pigs and puppies and really enjoyed it. My cousin's crying broke my dream, so I hurried over. By the time I flew back, jiaozi had finished eating. On the table and the rice screen, one by one, round and transparent, close your eyes, like a bowl of hot, delicious jiaozi in front of me. However, it's a pity that I didn't participate in these. Wronged me as a "master jiaozi".

2. Sweep the grave. In the early morning of winter solstice, I ate a bowl of hot dumplings, followed by the second biggest custom-sweeping the grave. On the solstice of winter, people prepare thousands of delicious dishes. Hehe, my mouth is watering after reading it, not to mention my ancestors who are far underground. The mountain road bends eighteen times, and it really deserves its reputation. There are too many narrow paths in the crisscross, and I don't know where they are. Fortunately, there are adults leading the way, otherwise it might take us several days to get there. There are people everywhere, and there are many people crowded. Whether strangers or acquaintances, we all reach the same goal through different routes. At the same time, grave sweepers on the mountain greet each other and say hello to each other. Sweeping graves, of course, is to sweep the weeds in front of ancestors' graves, in my opinion. Rake with a rake, many, many, all made by adults. I climbed the mountain with my cousin. "Looking at the forest side into a peak, the distance is different." Magnificent scenery; The thrilling scene of "meeting to the extreme, all other mountains look like dwarfs under the sky" . "Thank you, Xiaoyue, come and bow down to your ancestors and seek peace!" The adults called us. We learn from adults: "ditto." , make everyone laugh. After shouting, we ran away again, crazy. "It rains in the Qingming Festival", and it doesn't rain today. Look at the graves of our ancestors. They are steep and desolate, a bit like the feeling that pedestrians on the road are going to die. 3. set off firecrackers. Fireworks will be set off in the New Year, and the solstice in winter is no exception. Adults often say, "New Year is after the solstice in winter", which is probably the prelude to New Year's Day! I don't know who invented firecrackers Very interesting. At that time, my cousin and I bought several boxes, which naturally made us happy for a long time. We lit incense and detonated it with trembling hands. When the sparks were flying, we were frightened out of our wits and ran away, covering our ears. We stood in the room, watching the "play" with lively hearts: "crackling", firecrackers and dog barking intertwined, happy to spend endless money.

Postscript Every winter solstice, this "trio" always performs like this, and everything is so interesting that I have endless aftertaste. ...
