The custom of winter solstice in Liuzhou

For Liuzhou people, the solstice in winter is very important, even more important than the Spring Festival! Because there is a saying that "the winter solstice celebrates the New Year", the whole family gets together on this day and thinks "? Chicken? Ducks eat legs (chicken thighs). " On the solstice of winter, the main dishes are boiled chicken, boiled duck, braised pork and tofu foam.

When the solstice of winter comes, every family eats jiaozi.

In addition to a hearty dinner, Liuzhou people also cook sausages and bacon around the winter solstice, which is called winter solstice meat.

Dried glutinous rice flour, named Dongfen, is used to make glutinous rice balls and rice cakes at the end of the year.

Jiaozi with exposed stuffing is a special snack in Liuzhou, which is different from traditional jiaozi. Jiaozi with exposed stuffing is big and salty. Most of the fillings in it are kohlrabi and auricularia, which is very delicious.
