What are the customs of beginning of winter's solar terms (what is the emphasis on beginning of winter's solar terms)?

1, eat jiaozi. The custom of eating jiaozi is said to be on the solstice in winter, but in some places, people eat jiaozi in beginning of winter that day, because beginning of winter is at the junction of autumn and winter. It is said that eating jiaozi is "the time to give birth", and some places also say that eating jiaozi can prevent "frozen ears".

2. Winter swimming. When some winter swimmers are in beginning of winter, they will choose a meaningful area for winter swimming on this day to welcome the arrival of winter. For example, friends or some associations in some areas of Northeast China will hold similar activities.

3, food supplement. It is estimated that many people have heard of the expression "make up for winter". In winter, people can supplement their vitality and resist the cold by taking food supplements, such as mutton, beef and other high-calorie foods. Eating these foods on this day is a symbol of beginning of winter. However, attention should be paid to food supplements, and not everyone can eat them. This is determined according to one's own physique.

4. Travel. Everyone has heard of spring outing, but not many people travel in early winter. In fact, this custom is said to be very popular in the past. As we all know, farmers used to farm mainly. After beginning of winter, they basically had nothing to do in the fields, and they worked for half a year. On this day in early winter, they welcome the arrival of winter by traveling. Of course, this trip is only a general meaning. As farmers, they have basically rested.
