Composition 600 About the Solstice Tangyuan in Winter

It is a traditional custom in China to eat glutinous rice balls on the solstice in winter.

Last winter solstice, the weather was very cold, and my hands were a little stiff with cold, but when my mother said to me, "Let's take care of jiaozi. Today is the solstice of winter. " When I heard that I was going to package jiaozi, I was so happy that I didn't feel cold. When my mother was rubbing dumplings, I quickly washed my hands and made jiaozi like my mother. I first knead a small ball of glutinous rice in the dumplings, knead it into a circle, then squash it, put a small ball of taro paste, bean paste or peanut butter in the middle, and then knead it into a circle, and the dumplings are ready.

My mother told me while cooking: "jiaozi, a snack made of glutinous rice flour, is one of the traditional customs in winter, and it is popular in the south of the Yangtze River. In glutinous rice balls, "round" means reunion and perfection, and eating glutinous rice balls in winter solstice is also called "winter solstice group". In the Tang and Song Dynasties, the solstice in winter was the day of ancestor worship. On this day, the emperor went to the suburbs to hold a ceremony to worship heaven. On this day, people must worship their parents. There are still some places to celebrate the winter solstice. "

That day, I not only learned Bao jiaozi, but also learned more knowledge. What a happy day!
